Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q553: The questioner asks: What is the limit of staying to accompany the funeral to the cemetery?
A553: The most complete way is to stay by the grave until the burial is finished, then stand by the grave after the burial and make du'a' and seek forgiveness for the deceased, saying: O Allah, forgive him, O Allah, have mercy on him. This is based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) after he finished burying some of his Companions:Sunan Abi Dawud 3221Sahih (Al-Albani) .

Seek forgiveness for your brother, and beg steadfastness for him, for he will be questioned now.
استغفروا لأخيكم، واسألوا له التثبيت، فإنه الآن يسأل
