No, what is prescribed at graves is to greet the deceased and make du'a for him. If you conclude with sending blessings upon the Prophet, you conclude your du'a with sending blessings upon the Prophet, and there is no harm in that; it becomes attached to the du'a, not for the sake of the grave. Yes.
