Question
Is it permissible to visit cemeteries on Shabbat? I heard that the deceased are not present on Shabbat. Sources?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
The response of our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Ovadia Fried, shlita, is that indeed one should not visit on Shabbat, also for the reason that the souls of the deceased are not in the graves on Shabbat.
