Well, in Jerusalem it is customary not to let the deceased "sleep over".
Meaning the moment it is possible they'll bury the deceased even if that means
burying him/her at 2 am. Many a time was I witness to late-night burials of
relatives. I don't know if this custom exists also in other Jewish
communities, to the best of my knowledge this is a Jerusalem-only custom.
In any case people won't go "visit" the cemetery at night. So the question
seems still appropriate.
