Question
My pregnant wife wants to know if she should go to the cemetery on her father's yahrzeit, or if it's better to avoid it?
Answer
Hello
There is no source for the custom of not going to the cemetery during pregnancy, but in practice, many follow this custom.
In cases of necessity, such as on a yahrzeit, one may go but should not touch the grave.

According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita
