Imam Ali (ra) said:
"Whenever a believer dies
the place where he used to pray weeps for him,
and so does the place from which his deeds
used to ascend to Heaven."


Then he recited:


The heaven and earth wept not for them (44:29)

Why would they weep? I'd expect them to be happy, for now they'll be used to put the person in Paradise.

Ibn Jarir [al-Tabari] narrated in his Tafsir that ibn Abbas(ra)said in explanation of the verse

"And neither Heaven nor earth shed a tear over them"

Truly, when a believer dies, that spot of earth upon which he used to pray and remember God the Almighty mourns him
