8 Tips to start your new Grave Adoption Tradition:

• Know that you have the right to be in a cemetery to pay your respects, just be sensitive and respectful of others.\\xa0
• Choose a grave or head stone that is interesting to you, most likely older, and out of respect, one that doesn\'t already have signs of regular visitors, or family members paying respects.
• If you\\u2019re interested in the genealogy of this project, be sure to choose a head stone that still clearly displays a name and dates.
• Realize that the days will get shorter as you get deeper into the fall. Most cemeteries have times posted when the cemetery is closed, and it\\u2019s usually \\u201cdusk\\u201d.
• Bring meaningful gifts or flowers on each visit\\u2026 but realize that you\\u2019re responsible for disposing of them later.
• Don\\u2019t be afraid to just talk casually, or even flat out describe your new tradition to your adopted soul.
• Take photos on each visit. Document the work you\\u2019re doing, if for nothing else, to inspire others.
• Have fun\\u2026 don\\u2019t take it too seriously\\u2026 and definitely don\\u2019t make it about MOURNING or being SAD.
