Question

Is there any restriction for someone whose parents are alive to be in a cemetery (for example, at a grandfather’s grave)? From what age and until what age?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha <\/p>

Only kohanim are forbidden to enter a cemetery. <\/p>

For someone who is not a kohen, there is no problem entering a cemetery at any age and in any family status.<\/p>
