Hi there. From what I understand, placing pebbles on gravestones is a Jewish custom. The meaning of it is a mystery as it just became a habit and somewhere along the way the meaning got lost. Many think that the action of placing a pebble on a gravestone is a way to express remembrance and while others think that means that you will return to visit the grave or a sign of respect. It might also relate to the fact that in ancient history, gravestones were not used on Jewish graves. Rather, the graves were marked with mounds of stone. Most of our gravestones have a flat area that is appropriate for placing pebbles if you engage in that custom.
