As I understand this, it's symbolic of maintaining a cairn of rocks on a desert burial, where weathering and critters may derange, and is a tending of the gravesite. Performing this is accounted a mitzvah. Doing this for, or with, one's Jewish friends without making any big deal of it will show your suavity and culture.
