But, it's a lot better than seeing the roadside homemade crosses with
artificial flowers on them we too often encounter on our New England
roads.

Happy Holidays,

Jeff, New England roads aren't the only place those homemade crosses show
up. I see them all the time. It's amazing how long they can hang around.
There is one about 2 miles from my house that is there a year after the
incident.

Merry Christmas, ( I know it's not PC, but I don't care!)

Here in California, they are quite carefully tended by friends,
survivors or prisoner work crews. The several belonging to various
deceased friends of mine are at least 5 yrs old and have become
permanent fixtures, one is made out of stainless steel by the welders
he worked with, and the bit of land off the right of way was donated
by the land owner so its concreted in, etc etc

Just think, if this catches on too well, there will be little f***ing
crosses/pictures/bows all over the place, lining every roadway,
littering every field, sidewalk, alley, creek, lake, treetop, and
rooftop denoting wherever and whenever -anything- died.

I'm with Jeff on not liking them. These things are eyesores and their
perps should be prosecuted for littering. If they want to memorialize
someone, they should do it in the proper place (a graveyard or their
own home) not in public.
