In visiting the grave sites of our friend Tahir’s relatives, we experienced a facet of the culture we couldn’t have anticipated prior to arriving. Instead of headstones alone, walled plots are established for each of the interred, sometimes with flowers, shrubs or trees planted. The maintenance staff follow you to each plot you visit with watering cans for you to water the graves as a sign of respect. Extra water can be shared with the neighboring plots. We learned that women are not allowed to visit on the day of burial but can visit the site subsequently. It was a somber but special moment to visit the graves of our friend’s relatives.
