Cemeteries and graveyards aren't the same

I've never been to a Jewish burial site…
But I did act as caretaker at a pet cemetery that actually had Jewish pet representation.
I had noticed pebbles and glass stones laid on top of the Jewish and some non Jewish markers so I googled it. Looks to be a sign or gesture of respect and love for the dead.
Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange

Ancient Jews believed that placing the stone on a grave would keep the soul down in this world. Some people find comfort in this. Another interpretation leaning more toward superstition, suggests the opposite, that the stones can keep evil spirits, demons and golems from getting into the graves.

They make movies and tv shows there. It’s only open to the
public for scheduled tours. They have many cemeteries and they are numbered. I’ve seen them in person. Very interesting and creepy at the same time. Never go alone. People wait to rob you.
