Conveying the reward of good deeds to the deceased
Question
My mother passed away 6 months ago and a fraction of my siblings make it a ritual to visit her grave every Sunday. They have been doing so religiously without fail since the day she was laid to rest. They recite a few verses and the gravesight is made beautiful and has the greenest grass. How does this benefit the dead?
