Cemetery – someone whose parents are alive
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>
