Is placing coins upon the eyes of the deceased a Catholic ritual?
The application of coins upon the eyes is not really a Catholic practice; it is more a cultural custom and thus is practiced by those peoples or families who decide to do so. Whether the peoples or families who practice this custom are Catholic is purely incidental. Besides this, the custom is very ancient. In pre-Christian times pagans used to place the coins with the deceased as payment for Charon, the boatman of the Underworld, who ferried souls across the river Styx to the land of the dead. If the shroud of Turin (the burial shroud of Christ) is accepted as authentic, then Jesus Christ Himself was buried with coins upon his eyes as these - right down to their image and inscription - are imprinted in the shroud.
