The Validity of the Belief that the Dead Feel the Visit of the Living

Question
Does the deceased know that their family has visited them? What benefit does the deceased gain from their family's visit? Is it possible to plant trees, make supplications, or recite the Quran for them?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It appears that the deceased feels the visit of their family, and the deceased benefits from their recitation of the Quran, their prayers, their seeking forgiveness, and their glorification, as it reaches them and they benefit from it. And God knows best.
