It is disliked for a woman to follow a funeral procession according to the majority of scholars, and it is forbidden if her going out leads to mixing (with men). As for women visiting graves, the preponderant opinion is that it is permissible if it is for a legitimate purpose, such as reflection or supplicating for the dead. However, seeking intercession through the dwellers of graves is not permissible.
