When a friend died some years ago, I visited his grave and left to quarters as payment for the "ferryman" to get him into the underworld. It was traditional centuries past to put a coin in the dead person's mouth or two pennies on their eyes for this purpose. I just figured with inflation being what it is....

I know someone who visited his brother's grave and left coins (I never asked how much) in payment for a coffee he'd borrowed to pay for...

And my brother says when a friend bet him he'd died first, he left coins at his friends grave...
