The 'Valerie' singer died three years ago, and her parents are angry after her former husband recently visited the cemetery - for the first time since her death in 2011 - for an interview.
Janis, who is Jewish, told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "To film beside a grave shows total disrespect. I want nothing to do with this.
"He is entitled to visit the grave, he disrespects our religion by not covering his head and as for an interview in a sacred place that disgusts me.
"He is entitled to grieve but please not in public three years too late."
Meanwhile, Amy's father Mitch later added on Twitter that he hoped Blake hadn't done the interview.
He tweeted: "Blake gave interview at Amy's grave? Please tell me it's not true. (sic)"

Mariah Carey says she "will always make music".
The blonde pop star has insisted she has no plans to retire, and explained previous comments alluding to her next album being her "last" were simply a call to arms to make the most of every opportunity.
Speaking to Billboard magazine, she said: "I will always make music. When I said it could be my last, that's because tomorrow's not promised to anyone."
The singer also revealed she wants her next album to be a "body of work" instead of a few hit singles.
Mariah is planning a big surprise for the release of her next record and insisted she isn't being motivated by topping the charts with her individual tracks, instead choosing to focus on the record as a whole.
She added: "You would think I would be all about the singles-driven situation, and I am in a way, but with this particular album I want my fans to hear it as a body of work.
"This is my life since we last left off. Just picture a dot dot dot, and then here's the album."

Matt Cardle was in a relationship with 'Britain's Got Talent' star Lettice Rowbotham.
The former 'X Factor' winner was reportedly an item with the violinist - who is currently competing on Simon Cowell's talent show - and it is said she is still "besotted with him".
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Lettice and Matt are great friends but what she likes to keep quiet is that they were a couple.
"It was quite a full-on thing and she was always talking about how sexy he was. She was besotted with him - and still is."
While the pair are still very close, it is said their commitment and ambition meant they are better off staying friends rather than trying to make a romance work.
The source added: "It didn't last long though. I think they both thought it would probably ruin their friendship. They both have an ambitious streak so it works best if they're just friends."
Lettice has worked with Matt in the past, along with Olly Murs, but insisted she has worked extremely hard to get to where she is now.
She recently said: "It does sound amazing, but those are just the best bits of 20 long years working very hard. There are very long days of gigs and travelling.
"Travelling sounds glamorous but it's not, when you're on an aeroplane for 20 hours and you have to sound check at three in the morning."

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We are lucky to be generously paid. But the days of million pound presenters are gone. it is nothing I have experienced.

Susanna also revealed the team behind the show - which will launch on Monday morning (28.04.14) at 6am - are excited to get started and don't see it as a risk.
She added: "None of us have gone into this thinking, 'God what are we risking', but 'wow, let's do this and make a programme viewers will love and build on this'.
"I have always said there is room for two strong breakfast programmes. That is what we have to do, make a very strong breakfast programme that people will watch."

Noel and Liam Gallagher are back on speaking terms.
The two feuding brothers and former Oasis band mates - who famously fell out backstage at a show in Paris in 2009 - are said to be slowly reconciling and it is seen as a "baby step" towards an eventual reunion for the group.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "The mudslinging has stopped but it's very much baby steps for the two as Noel wants to release his second solo record at the end of the year and tour that in 2015.
"Really that leaves 2016 open for an Oasis comeback - it really doesn't seem likely that it would be this year."
There has been speculation the Britpop icons could be set for a reunion after Liam individually wrote a letter of the band's name every half an hour on Twitter, but his former Oasis and Beady Eye band mate Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs played down the rumours.
Asking what sparked his tweets, he recently said: "Probably the fact that I texted him going, 'Meet me in the beer garden'.
"That probably rattled his cage. Maybe that. I don't know though, because I meet him every f***ing month. Maybe he's just reminiscing."
The musician then took to his own Twitter account to spell out the word "PUB".

The Wanted have told fans to "not worry" after they were threatened with a knife in Denver.

An insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "When they left the threatre they passed by a homeless man who asked for money.
"Siva gave him a few dollars, but the man asked for more and then pulled a knife on them.

Mary-Kate Olsen has bought a $13.5 million mansion.
The 27-year-old star is said to have purchased the property with her fiance Olivier Sarkozy in Turtle Bay, Manhattan after seeking out a home in a more private area.
According to the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column, the couple have settled on a mansion in the neighbourhood.
Along with a private garage, it is also said to have a ballroom, five bedrooms, an elevator and artist's studio.
It is thought to be ideal for the actress-turned-fashion designer, following recent reports she was keen on a more private, secluded home with her fiance.
She was unhappy with the East 10th Street townhouse she and Olivier bought in New York City in 2012 because it didn't feel secure enough, and sold the property despite never moving in.
The couple - who got engaged in February last year - bought the home for $6.25 million and had been searching for their perfect home.
An insider had said: "Mary-Kate was not happy with the house, it was not private enough for her. She needs a garage or something with a more secure entrance."

Aloe Blacc has criticised 'Blurred Lines' - branding the track "immoral".
The 'Wake Me Up' hitmaker has spoken out about Robin Thicke's controversial number one single and says he's glad his collaboration with dance artist Avicii was competing with it in the charts because it provided a "balance" to the "immoral" messages.
He said: "There's really no problem with the song ['Blurred Lines'] aside from the subtle innuendos that are made glaringly apparent in the music video.
"It's an important thing what we do with music. Music is a spiritual experience whether you want to admit it or not, music opens your senses and has been used historically as a conduit to your inner psyche.
"So when we do this as musicians ... to open people up and then to dump trash into them, is to me, no matter what your religion is it's sacrilege, it's immoral."
The 35-year-old star, who has seven-month-old daughter Mandela with his wife Maya Jupiter, thinks the lyrics in 'Blurred Lines' provides a confusing message to young boys and girls about what is and isn't acceptable.
He explained to BANG Showbiz: "The machismo, the misogyny, the violence, the disrespect ... I just don't think it's necessary and I actually think it's damaging to the psyche of young girls and it's damaging to the psyche of young guys who sort of fantasise in this world of being macho and sexist."

Ron Howard would have "chickened out" of directing Jay Z's movie if he had thought more about it.
The acclaimed filmmaker was approached weeks before the rapper's 'Made in America' festival in Philadelphia last year to document the event and only said yes because he didn't have time to properly consider the offer.
He said: "They asked a few weeks before the festival, so I didn't have time to say no. I'd have chickened out if I'd thought about it too much."
Ron believes he was asked to direct the documentary, which is also called 'Made in America', because he was an "extreme" choice when it came to echoing the messages of diversity in the event.
He explained: "The festival represents the breaking down of genres, race and expectation across America. Inviting me in is an extreme version of that."
And working on the film gave the 60-year-old director the chance to gain a broader musical education.
He told NME magazine: "I didn't know Jill Scott or The Hives. Loved them. Rita Ora was a blast. And Odd Future. I won't listen to them every day, but I was impressed with their energy."
