The tinctures azure and Or (blue and gold), which were the ones borne in the Counts’ “chequy” coat of arms, are a reference to the village's former allegiance to the “Further” County of Sponheim.

The church on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side refers to the one that towers over the village.

Todenroth lies within the area served by the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Mosel (VRM, Rhine-Moselle Transport Association).
