For Halloween? No

Visiting the graveyard in general? Sometimes I go there to look at the grave of my girlfriend who died in a car crash when we were sixteen when I need to sometimes think about what she lost as well as how glad I should be just to even be alive

Been to yesterday. There is no way I'm going to the cemetery on November 1st. Not with the crowds and crazy drivers on the roads.

Didn’t know mass grave visitations were a thing in Europe. Clearly superior to America’s Protestant-dominant culture.

Nah, I don't have any dead loved ones that I can feasibly visit.

No, but I go quite often. It's only a few blocks away from home and often considered one of the best graveyards in the world

It's also a thing in Latin America and other Catholic places.

I typically would especially with the holiday being on such a convenient day of the week, but I am unfortunately flying and will have to delay until late November as we often do when it is in the middle of the week.

On the bright side, I hope to finally fulfill my dream of celebrating All Souls Day in Pilsen. That should be eventful!

I've visited my deceased sister-in-law on All Saints Day before, but that was before I moved to CA.

The family graveyard(s) are in Iowa, so no.

Cathcon.. Is Michigan so backwards?  Scary.  Come to a place where you can be an out and open Catholic.

I went with my Mom when I was living at home every Nov 1.  I probably won't tomorrow, though.

I honestly didn't even do this when my family was led by a Catholic church organist. I feel I have been deprived. But tomorrow is still a Holy Day of Obligation, isn't it? I should probably do something.

Huge crowd at the cemetery, but very cold weather and then coffee/cake with the whole family.

Was a nice afternoon.
