Aug 12, 2015 at 13:13 comment added Yehoshua Why it's not mentioned by the Rambam is quite interesting. Since he holds a cemetary is a place of tumah like that of a bathhouse or bathroom. I suppose it would depend on what he holds in those cases as well.
Apr 15, 2015 at 18:42 comment added Dennis I don't have a source, but I was taught to wash my hands after leaving a cemetery if there was an open grave, i.e., for a funeral. But just to visit, and there was no open graves, it was not necessary. I was also taught if there was no water at the cemetery, it was ok to wait till you got home and washed your hands before entering your house.
