Is it wrong to wear shoes in a graveyard? (lemmy.ml)

My fiance says he's never heard of this and I can't tell you I know where it came from but I take my shoes off and carry them or leave them outside the boundary when I know I'm waking over dead people! We're supposed to respect dead people and you respect people by taking off your shoes when you enter their home! You should take your shoes off when walking where dead people live(are)???

Am I just insane???

I've never heard of this either, just that it's best try not walking on the graves in general. Shoes are fine though, you're outside.

I've never heard of taking off your shoes, but I absolutely hate walking on graves. I'll just stand by the road or try to walk in between rows if I have to be closer.
