On my way to work, I pass by two cemeteries. I often try to remind myself to stop by and say a little prayer, but I always miss the Exit to the places. 😊 I can still pray a Hail Mary when passing by though.

Thinking of those holy souls who are now praying for us unceasingly makes us think more of them too.

Someday, when I lay down on the ground, whoever passes by, I will make sure to grab them by their neck --uh… hands saying “Pray for me, please!”. 😃
 
I pass one on the way to my car repair shop (going there more and more often these days) and the parish church nearby. A number of our relatives are buried there, so I pray for them.

It’s always in the back of my mind to say that all my cows died. You know, when you’re on a road trip through the country and you count cows on your side of the road - they all die and you have to start over when you pass a cemetery on your side. 🙂

There is a huge cemetery next to where I live. Sadly I have never once said a prayer for those who are buried there. Every time I drive past it I turn my head away as cemeteries really scare me, always have.
 
There is one across the street from my parish. I drive through every few months and say a prayer. Usually I make the sign of the cross as I drive into the parish parking lot.
 
I actually work very, very near a cemetery, so on my lunch breaks, I actually go out there to eat lunch and to pray for those who have died. When I am at college I drive past a cemetery almost anytime I go into town. There is also a small cemetery that I go to during the Octave of All Souls for a novena to gain plenary indulgences for the poor souls.
 
many parishes in our area have parish cemeteries, so I pass lots of them.

But my favorite has a sign as I pass it on a curve that says, “Slow down- we can wait for you.”
 
As far as I know, I do not drive past ANY cemeteries. We have some in my area somewhere, so thanks for reminding me to seek them out.👍
