Why do some people visit cemeteries?

To remember.
To leave flowers
To pay their respects
To look at the tombstones
To have some quiet time
To birdwatch
To take a quiet stroll
To take photographs
To look for the graves of the famous
To picnic
To do a little impromptu gardening
To enjoy the fresh air and the decorations on the graves
To do tombstone rubbings
To have a good chuckle over a clever epitaph
To do genealogical research
To realize that when we're dust, today's problems will seem minute
To console oneself in the company of the dead.
To glimpse the big picture.
To contemplate Time.
