I was very close with my grandparents, but I’ve never gone to visit their graves post-funeral. My parents just want to be cremated when they die, no memorial service or grave. Sort of weird to think that someday they’ll be gone without a trace from this earth. Though generally speaking so will all of us.

For one of my grandfather's and my dad, the service was small and personal and months after they passed. That made the experience less grief-ridden and more of a positive remembrance.
