Collective excitations of coupled electron-phonon systems are calculated for both monolayer and bilayer graphene, taking into account the non-perturbative Coulomb coupling between electronic excitations in graphene and the substrate longitudinal optical phonon modes. We find that the plasmon-phonon coupling in monolayer graphene is strong at all densities, but in bilayer graphene the coupling is significant only at high densities satisfying the resonant condition $\omega_{pl} \approx \omega_{ph}$. The difference arises from the peculiar screening properties associated with chirality of graphene. Plasmon-phonon coupling explains the measured quasi-linear plasmon dispersion in the long wavelength limit, thus resolving a puzzle in the experimental observations.
