It is a holdover from the days when signs,omens and portents were take very seriously by most people. You know, hand itching means money or visitors, ears burning means someone is dishing on you, a black cat is bad luck, etc.
The belief was that graves were, indeed, "final resting places", where you would be, perhaps somehow a little aware, forever and ever. So if someone walked on your grave, you would know. Portents of your long dirtnap. Kinda creepy.

It means that someone just walked over where your grave will be when you die.
