How to Gain Plenary Indulgence for Souls in Purgatory (November 1 to 8)

How to gain plenary indulgence specifically for the holy souls in purgatory from November 1 to 8

"Every year, between November 1 and 8, the Church grants a plenary indulgence that can be applied only to the souls in purgatory. The faithful can receive this indulgence each of the eight days to apply to a particular soul — a parent, spouse, relative, friend, or anyone even unknown." (From National Catholic Register)

Indulgenced works

1. Between November 1 and 8, devoutly visit a cemetery and pray, if only mentally, for the departed; or,
2. November 2, All Souls’ Day devoutly visit a church or an oratory and recite an Our Father and the Creed.

Conditions and works prescribed by the Church

1. Be in the state of grace at the time of the indulgenced work
2. All attachment to sin, even venial sin, must be absent. (If one's disposition is less than perfect or if some of the conditions are not fulfilled, the indulgence becomes partial.)
3. Have the intention of receiving the plenary indulgence
4. Receive the Sacrament of Confession
5. Receive Holy Communion
6. Pray for the intentions of the Holy Father (ex. Our Father and Hail Mary)

For numbers 4-6 above, "it is appropriate, but not necessary, that these sacred rites and prayers take place on the same day as the indulgenced work, but it is sufficient that they be carried out within several days (about 20) before or after the indulgenced work". (See the Vatican's General Remarks on Indulgences)
