13. Visit to a Cemetery (Coemeterii visitatio)
An indulgence, applicable only to the Souls in Purgatory, is granted to the faithful, who devoutly visit a cemetery and pray, even if only mentally, for the departed.The indulgence is plenary each day from the 1st to the 8th of November; on other days of the year it is partial.
Necessary Conditions to be met:
Sacramental
confession. A single sacramental confession suffices for gaining
several plenary indulgences; but Communion must be received and
prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff must be recited for
the gaining of each plenary indulgence
Eucharistic
Communion.
Prayer
for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff.
The condition of praying
for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff is fully satisfied by
reciting one Our Father and one Hail Mary; nevertheless, each one is
free to recite any other prayer according to his piety and devotion.
It
is further required that all attachment to sin, even venial sin, be
absent. If the latter disposition is in any way less than perfect or
if the prescribed three conditions are not fulfilled, the indulgence
will be partial only...
