I buried my one year chip with some mums I planted at my parents headstone. I wasn't sober when they passed away so that was important to me.

I visited Bill Wilson's gravesite a couple of years ago - a glass jar was at his headstone with all kinds of colored chips, personalized chips and 20 and 30-year medallions that people had left.

A sign at the jar encouraged people to take one but to replace it with one of your own as an exchange for the next person. Very cool.
