I may visit my mom and dad's graves from time to time but I do not do the following:

1) pray to mom and dad

2) expect them to be able to do anything for me

3) don't kneel before their graves

So in short, this Christian does not worship the departed ones who have gone on before us.

As Peter told Cornelius when Cornelius had fallen at his feet to worship him, "Stand up, for I too am just a man." (Acts 10:25-26 NASB)

Most people in Catholic graveyards are planting flowers or leaving flowers. Just like they do at the Episcopal graveyard across the street from where I live.
