Unique Gravestone Traditions to Honor Loved Ones

What is the significance of leaving a penny on a grave?

You might have noticed pennies left on gravesites and wondered about their significance. This small gesture carries a meaningful tradition, especially among military families and veterans.

Leaving a penny on a grave is a way to show respect and remembrance. Each coin placement can have a different meaning:

• One penny means you visited the grave.

• Two pennies indicate you and the deceased trained together.

• Three pennies mean you served together.

• Five pennies signify you were present when the person died.

  
  

This simple act is a silent message of honor and connection, especially for those who served in the armed forces. It’s a way to say, “You are not forgotten.”
