How often, if ever, do you visit or clean the graves of your loved ones?

Went by the cemetary today and see so many unkept graves from people who passed in the 20-50 years ago, but you also see overgrowth and bird shite over graves not even a year old.
Do you want your loved ones to take care of your grave, and if not, then why even be burried?

I buried my father to respect his wishes; but he's not there. At this point it is a plot of land with some decaying remains six feet below the surface. That's it. I don't need to visit the location to "commune" with him. That's what prayer is for (partly anyway).
I want to be buried as well... but once the ground is settled I'm more than happy to have my site kept up by the church groundskeeper. I see no need to do anything anymore than that.
If anything, I look at the older graves as being more important than a recent one. The older ones are part of a family's or a community's history.

The cemeteries where my people are buried do all the upkeep. Never seen one where the families were responsible to go mow the lawn over Grammaw.

They mow, and might spray weed killer, but there's no cleaning or triming or flowers being placed

about once a month. My dad was an avid hunter, so the week before hunting season, I always put an orange hat on his grave. Some people may think thats stupid, but its not to me.

That is nice. I don't have much if any attachment to gravesites, mostly because they are far away in a town where I am not really close to anybody still alive. The cemetery keeps them tidy.

My grandparents used to go check on the family graves on All Saints Day.

I don't go enough. 
We have perpetual care for all grave sites. That includes painting on some, were other are granite tombs.

We visit my parents graves about twice a year and in the spring I clean everything up and put down new flowers.

Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.

The flowers, cleaning, talking, praying, communing....those things are for us, the living. Not the dead. The dead are in a better place. We mourn for us, who are stuck here behind.

But I don't want to be cremated
