Have you ever visited your ancestors graves? (self.genealogy)

I’ve done this a few times including members of my family who passed in the 1800s. It always felted strange knowing this is my family from over 200 years ago and I can visit their final resting place even today. Has anyone else done this and what’s the oldest headstone you’ve visited?

Yes actually, before the pandemic my family went on a trip to England for my dad's birthday, and part of the trip was visiting my great×3 grandfather's grave, and seeing the house that was in the family for over 150 years. We actually got to sit down and talk with the current owners, who still had the original deed with his name on it.
