Yes, but not as often as I would like. DH takes me now. The cemetery is huge and I could not find the plot(s) myself. (Directions are not my strong point.)
DF would take me to visit his family plot from time to time. He liked to visit old cemeteries in general (for historical information), and his family plot was no exception. My great-grandfather (from Sweden) bought the plot since he lost his wife and children (other than my grandmother) quite young.
DF told me that his father was the first Catholic in that area, and that at the time, "permission" had to be obtained to bury him there. (I don't know from whom permission was required.) My DM and DF were buried there. DF's siblings "signed off" on the plots going to them - and after DF passed the cemetery recorded my name and the names of my children. (I have a deed floating around somewhere.)
When I visited with DF, I recall him stomping around looking for a plot for me.
If I am buried there, I expect that I (or DH) would be the last one(s).
