Yahrtzeit After 50 Years

Question

Is there a custom not to visit the parents’ grave after 50 years have passed since the passing? Next week, on the eve of Sukkot, the anniversary of one parent’s passing occurs, and 50 years have passed since the passing. Should one visit the grave or not?

Answer

Shalom u’vrachah 

One should observe the yahrtzeit even after 50 years and more.
