Visiting the Cemetery Before Rosh Hashanah

Question

Is it necessary to visit the cemetery specifically on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, or is it possible to go a few days earlier?

Answer

Dear …!
The custom was to go on the eve of Rosh Hashanah.
However, the matter of praying at the graves of the righteous before the Day of Judgment is also fulfilled on the days before that.
