It is recommended to perfect, deepen, and widen the grave based on the Prophetic tradition where the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, stood over a grave and commanded how it should be made, indicating that Allah loves perfection in action, which is also reported to be more soothing for the hearts of the relatives.
