The real question is why do so? You can not alter their destination one way or the other. Neither can you pray for greater blessings for them. If they went to heaven they have all the blessings they need. If they went to hell, they can receive no blessing there.
If it makes you feel better to do so, then go ahead. But there is no real tangible value or purpose in doing so.
Umm....I suppose that you could always ask "Mary"! If she's not available ("she" gets lots of emails) then I have no doubt that there will be a few shadowy sources who will happily speak on "her" behalf.More specifically, is it Scriptural to do so?

the ones in hell, are there... even if we could, we could not pray more conviction upon them, I am sure, like the rich man in Luke 16, they realize they made a dumb choice... but it is too late... salvation is offered to mankind before death, not after, ... so for what could we pray? a drop of water on their tongue??? that was denied long ago!
