Question
In the first year, do we visit the grave on the day of death or on the day of burial, which is the next day because the burial was at night? If the day of burial falls on Shabbat, do we go to the grave the day before (which is actually the day of death) or the day after on Sunday? If there is a yahrzeit for the father the day before the yahrzeit for the mother, do we go on the father's yahrzeit and then again the next day or two days later for the mother? Or do we combine them and go once? And when is it best to go if it's the first year for the mother but the ninth for the father?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
A. In this case, visit on the day of death even in the first year.
B. Since you visit on the day of death, it is on Friday, and you can visit.
C. You can visit on the mother's day of death and also visit the father's grave, as you can visit three days before and after the yahrzeit.
