On Easter and throughout Bright Week, for the sake of the great joy of the Resurrection of Christ, memorial services and public commemoration of the departed are canceled in churches (commemoration of the deceased is always performed at proskomedia).
In order for believers to be able to properly remember their departed loved ones and share with them the spiritual triumph of the Resurrection of the Lord, after the end of Bright Week, on Tuesday of the 2nd week of Easter, the Russian Church established a special day of remembrance of the dead - Radonitsa.
Commemoration of the dead reflects the belief that even after death they do not cease to be members of the Church founded on earth by the Lord Jesus Christ, Who “is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living.”
Before going to the cemetery, you should visit the temple, take communion and pray for the departed. Let us remember the story from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, when the holy fathers, resting in the caves, responded to the Easter greeting of the Monk Dionysius, “Truly He is Risen!” Why don’t we, when we come to the cemetery with prayer, say to our departed “Christ is Risen!”, read the Easter canon and Easter stichera at the grave. This is truly a spiritual joy that we share with the departed.
Visiting a cemetery on Easter day itself is contrary to the charter of the Church. If a person dies on Easter or Bright Week, then he is buried according to a special Easter rite.
Easter is a time of special and exceptional joy, a celebration of victory over death and over all sorrow and sadness.

Reading the Psalter for the departed is only a pious custom, and not a statutory adherence, therefore the practices of reading it on Bright Week may be different. Let's give authoritative opinions.
“If anyone is happy, let him sing psalms” (James 5:13).
“Should the Psalter be read at the tomb of the deceased during Easter week? The Church Charter completely cancels the reading of psalms this week... replacing everything omitted with Easter hymns. In monasteries where there is a “vigilant” reading of the Psalter, it stops completely during Easter week. In accordance with this, it may be that on Easter one should not read the Psalter at the tomb of the deceased, replacing it either by reading the Easter canon and Easter hymns, repeating them, or the Holy Gospel even at the tomb of a layman, which in some places (in the south of Russia) is sometimes performed not at Easter time (see: Explanatory Typikon. 1, 140).”
Afanasy (Sakharov), bishop. On the commemoration of the dead according to the Charter of the Orthodox Church. St. Petersburg, 1995. P. 140, note. 33.
“On Easter week, generally speaking, reading is not allowed, but since the Psalter was used from the first times of Christianity not only on sorrowful occasions, but also to express joy, and since the “Apostolic Constitutions,” indicating how Christians should spend the 3rd, 9th, 40th and annual days after the death of the brethren, they say about the 3rd day that it should be spent in psalmody, readings and prayers for the sake of The One who rose from the dead on the third day should conclude that there is no need to delay reading the Psalter over the deceased during Bright Week. To express the greater solemnity of the holiday, some additions of Easter chants can be made after reading each kathisma and “Glory”.
