Yes, I believe it is, or at least that was the way I was raised. I was always told not to walk on the grave it's self too..........But I see kids there all the time standing on them to pose for pictures, to bad the ghost's couldn't come out and kick there butt's! :*:

I've sat on the checkered grave a couple of times. I didn't mean any disrespect. I wanted mrs Rogers to say HI to me. She never showed.

Honestly, I think touching any of the stones is disrespectful unless for the right reasons.
If I wasn't completely sure that Herbert's stone was headed towards the pond, I wouldn't have moved it back. This is why I haven't righted the Deck stone any of the times I've been there, or sought to put Foskett or Rippert back up. Although those three would require at least another individual, if not two or more, I tend to leave things the way they were the first time I saw them.
And since I've never been to the Grove and seen Deck, Rippert, or Foskett standing, I'm not about to possibly put the stone up wrong and anger the spirits further.

I, myself, always avoid standing / walking on graves if at all possible... There have been times I have laid hands on the ground over a grave or on the headstone itself... but always from the side, back, etc...
I can usually tell the boundaries of the actual grave just by sensation, ya know?
BTW... if anyone is "sensitive" - do NOT go within the boundaries of the "Shrine of the Holy Innocents" at Queen of Heaven cemetary... We went there to try and find my father-in-law's plot, and my husband brought me into this portion without telling me WHAT section... I was BOMBARDED by children crying and screaming, oddly enough, I then smelled smoke and all of a sudden felt like I was burning from the inside out... and literally could not stand anymore and fell to my knees in the middle of this graveyard while trying to walk through it... I burst into tears it was so overwhelming...
I *later* found out the reason for what happened...
Anyways, come to find out, 25 of the 92 students from the Our Lady of Angels fire in 1958 are buried there... ALL TOGETHER... it was WAY too much to handle being anywhere NEAR that part...
Little story for ya, I guess... cho
