I think it's ultimately a desperate act of human beings who really are unsure about the fate of their loved ones.
If you're not sure what happens after death, and you feel hopeless, how can you possibly let go?
I think it's heart breaking, really.

No, not the graves. The attachment is to the family members in them.

The graves are like a door to their inner world, where the memories are within their family members still are living.the

some feel they need to make certain the last resting place is kept looking nice. since the soul and spirit has departed only the container is there. there are respects which can be paid by the living to the departed to honor and remember them. as long as one person remembers the departed will never be forgotten. seriously doubt there is one person who wants to be forgotten once they leave this plane of existence so one must remember others if they want to be remembered in return.

Good question. Perhaps they feel by physically standing near the deceased's body they can somehow connect. That is why I wish to be cremated. I figure my children will grow and move around the country as they are wont to do and I think they should carry me with them in their hearts wherever they are. If they want to speak to me I want them to be able to do it wherever they are comfortable. I want to be remembered through memories of the good times we had not to hold them to visiting me in a cold, dreary graveyard somewhere.

For some people this is where they feel closest to their loved one.
For some people they never want to go there ever again.

Love. Without these people I would not be here and not be me. They deserve to be remembered.
