In the states cemeteries are generally not thought of as a desirable place to visit, especially after the sun has gone down. In Poland, however, whole families go out on November 1 and visit graves, put lighted candles and flowers on all the graves in all of the cemeteries and it lasts late into the night. It is quite beautiful actually.
