Unwritten rules in the cemetery. Remember this on All Saints’ Day 2023 and beyond

The rules of good manners apply to everyone. They should be observed especially in public places. These include the cemetery, which is visited by crowds on All Saints’ Day. What behaviors should we avoid so that the visit goes smoothly for both us and others?

On November 1 we celebrate All Saints’ Day. On this day, many people and their families go to cemeteries to visit the graves of deceased loved ones, reminisce about them and light symbolic candles. This, in turn, causes real crowds to wander between the aisles. Unfortunately, not everyone remembers that they should behave appropriately in such a place. There are often screams, loud conversations, fights and arguments over a parking space. What should you remember so as not to disturb anyone’s visit to the cemetery?

What should you not do at a cemetery? Forget about graveside chats

During a visit to the cemetery, it often happens that we meet other members and friends whom we have not known for a long time. For this reason, we often engage in loud discussions and conversations while standing at the grave. We forget that there are other people right next to us who want to remember their loved ones in peace and not know what interesting things happened to you over the last year. Moreover, by standing between monuments on a narrow alley, we often block the path of others and make it difficult to move. A cemetery is not a place to exchange gossip. However, if you really want to exchange a few words with people you meet, go to the side where you won’t disturb anyone and speak in a low voice.

When going to the cemetery, respect others. Not everyone wants to inhale smoke

Loud conversations and sometimes arguments are not the only behavior that should be avoided. Another issue is smoking cigarettes at the entrance gate to the cemetery or on the way to a specific tombstone, causing a stench to everyone around you. If you absolutely must use it, find a secluded and designated place outside the cemetery and do not force others to inhale the unpleasant and unhealthy smoke.

Unwritten rules in the cemetery. The phone can wait

In the age of social media, many people almost do photo sessions with a tombstone and then share it online, which is very tactless. And speaking of your phone… If you’re going to , turn off sound notifications or silence your device completely. It would also be best if you gave up telephone calls. In addition, remember to dress neatly and, above all, warmly when going to the cemetery.
