Brahmin community follow lot of superstitions.
You have to definitely go to grave yard, do all help to bereaved family, console them.
Earlier if parents are alive, their children will not go to graveyard. now because of modern education, approach has changed. many children where parents alive also go to graveyard.
no prayaschitham . why required.
do daily sandhyavandanam . enough .

As human beings at times our compassion overrides traditional believes.
Its just very normal to give a friend a final send off.
Prayascitta is only for a sin.
A final send off is not a sin.
