The reason why Moshe Rabbeinu's kever is in an unknown location was to ensure his gravesite would not become a place of worship. <br /><br />If there is any mention of cemetery-visiting, there is a concept of kever avos, that by the miraglim Kalev visited mearas hamachpelah, because they are his ancestors. <br /><br />If I go grave-visiting, it will be at the graves of my grandparents and great-grandparents. Only they have a close enough tie to me to be a source of bracha. <br /><br />And to give a bunch of anteh-semit Europeans our dollars?
