RIP, memorials and such......

How do you all feel about people who make their car into a memorial of a deceased person?

You know, an F150 with " In loving memory of so and so" etched onto the window.

Here in Florida, people also make a makeshift memorial out of places people die in a car accident by bringing flowers, erecting plaques(actually sanctioned by the state)pictures and any type of thing you would bring to an actual burial site.

I think those things are ridiculous. If I die in a car wreck, the last thing I want is for someone to come and cry or throw flowers at the place I died.

Especially after a car wreck. What make you think I was happy there? People don't go and graffiti the walls of the hospital room you died in.

Bring them to the place I am buried. Also, don't dedicate your friggin' car to me. Your house, your wife, but not a car.


What about when people write in memoriam of someone who passed away by placing an ad in the paper on the anniversary of their death?

It just seems to me that all those thoughts should be private.

In the case of the newspaper ad, they are actually written as if the deceased person is reading the paper.

Does everyone who reads the paper actually have to know how you feel about someone?


Forgive the rant!

Goodnight
