Default using bleach solution on weeds

I get to visit a grave about once a year. Would pouring a diluted bleach
solution be a good way to get rid of the weeds that spring up between the
glass chippings without resorting to using powerful weed killers?

If so what rate should i dilute ordinary household liquid bleach to please?
thanks for any advice.

I don't think there would be anything to choose between either treatment in
terms of longevity, I'm afraid. Can you come to an arrangement with the
church or whoever cuts the grass, tidies around the place, to keep that
grave weed free?
