[Avodah] Removing shoes at a kever

[Cantor Wolberg]

JM asked:  "What is the origin of the practice (which I've only seen  
done at the k'varos
of RMMS and RYYS) to remove one's shoes before visiting a kever?"


The onen does act like a mourner in certain ways, but does not remove  
his shoes.
These are removed after the burial – sometimes at the grave itself  
(Rema YD 382:5.)
