Is prostration of gratitude permissible in the cemetery?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is prostration of gratitude permissible in the cemetery?

Answer:
No, the cemetery is not a place for prostration, nor for supplication, nor for prayer. This is a means to shirk (associating partners with Allah). As for if he prostrates to the graves, that is major shirk. Yes.
