Bidding farewell to the dead is a well known custom and it consists of many age old traditions. Both the Christians and the Muslims are buried but pennies are put only at the gravestones of the Christians after burial. The desire to receive worldly goods even after death can be observed in many ancient cultures. For example in the Egyptian culture people used to make high and mighty tombs or the pyramids and fill them up with gold, jewelry and other luxury items so that they can live comfortably after passing away.
