Blessings,
There are several ways you can pay respects to the dead, especially if you're not physically close to their tomb. One way is to simply call upon a God or Goddess that are guardians of the next world: Anubis, Osiris, Hades, Kali, Shiva, Hella, Hathor, Hecate, or even an angel like Gabriel or Azrael. Burn some Frankincense and Arabic Gum, and light a black candle. Call upon the deity and ask them that they guard the deceased into the afterlife and guard their soul.
Another way is to get a handful of graveyard dirt, a photo of the deceased, frankincense, chamomile, copal, jasmine, and chervil (British myrrh). Light a couple of black candles. In a bowl, place the photo in first. Gaze at the photo; remember the deceased and of their journey in this life. Then, take the handful of graveyard dirt and sprinkle it over the photo. Finally, add the remaining herbs over the dirt. These herbs will help the deceased move on and be at peace. It is best to place these remains over the grave of the deceased, but since you can't, you may bury it in a special spot somewhere.
Paying respects during meditation or ritual can also be done. By simply praying to your deity or to one of the deities mentioned above, you can pay respects by placing photos or personal items of the deceased near you or on your altar.
Blessed Be
