Waht islam says about this?
Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is permissible for a woman to visit the graveyard on condition she strictly adheres to the laws of hijab and go with the intention of reminding herself of death. If a woman does not adhere to the laws of hijab or she violates other laws of Shariāh when visiting the graveyard for example, there is an intermingling of genders or she goes to the graveyard to refresh her grief and sorrow, then it is prohibited. .[i] .[ii] And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best Mawlana Abdul Hannan Nizami,

وَقَالَ الْخَيْرُ الرَّمْلِيُّ: إنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ لِتَجْدِيدِ الْحُزْنِ وَالْبُكَاءِ وَالنَّدْبِ عَلَى مَا جَرَتْ بِهِ عَادَتُهُنَّ فَلَا تَجُوزُ، وَعَلَيْهِ حُمِلَ حَدِيثُ «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ زَائِرَاتِ الْقُبُورِ» وَإِنْ كَانَ لِلِاعْتِبَارِ وَالتَّرَحُّمِ مِنْ غَيْرِ بُكَاءٍ وَالتَّبَرُّكِ بِزِيَارَةِ قُبُورِ الصَّالِحِينَ فَلَا بَأْسَ إذَا كُنَّ عَجَائِزَ. وَيُكْرَهُ إذَا كُنَّ شَوَابَّ كَحُضُورِ الْجَمَاعَةِ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ
