It is customary to pour water over the top your relatives grave stone as a sign of respect and love (also clean up the grave site). They pray for their relatives after pouring. The grave yards are tucked away in niches, mostly hills that are out of the way. It is a must when visiting a family to also visit the family shrine and honor their relatives.
