Death does not say, "There is no difference whatever"; it says, "There you can see what the difference was: half a foot." [...] Thus in death life returns to childlike simplicity. In childhood the big difference was also that one person had a tree, a flower, a stone. (Works of Love, Series 2, IX)
He also says that one should visit the cemetery during the day in his essay The Work of Love in Recollecting One Who is Dead (which I happen to find exceptional). (pardon the discrimination)
