Claim 10:
11. A system for facilitating a virtual visit to a gravesite comprising:
one of an aerial drone or a land-based drone, the aerial drone or land-based drone comprising a video camera, a microphone, a speaker, and a global positioning sensor; and
a base station comprising a control system, the control system comprising one or more processors configured to use one or more telecommunications channels to:
receive, from a computing device associated with a user, a request for a virtual visit to a gravesite;
calculate a travel path for the aerial drone or land-based drone to the gravesite from a base location;
initiate autonomous travel by the aerial drone or land-based drone along the travel path to the gravesite;
confirm arrival of the aerial drone or land-based drone at the gravesite using the global positioning sensor;
while at the gravesite, transmit video and audio of the gravesite from the camera and microphone of the aerial drone or land-based drone to the computing device associated with the user using the telecommunication channel;
while at the gravesite, transmit audio from the computing device associated with the user from the speaker of the aerial drone or land-based drone;
avoid obstacles at the gravesite and during the travel path using the obstacle avoidance sensor;
provide a transporting module configured to transport an object to the gravesite during autonomous travel and leave the object at the gravesite after arrival at the gravesite;
and

return the aerial drone or land-based drone to the base location,
wherein said step of calculating a travel path is conducted by global positioning system mapping of a gravesite combined with details of the deceased individual interred at the gravesite.
