Re: Memorials On Car Windows

In my area window stickers on the front or back windshields are illegal so I don't see 'memorials' on them around here.

I have never seen one but if they bring comfort to those left behind that's what matters, not what I think of them.

Re: Memorials On Car Windows

I would not want anyone to memorialize my passing on the rear window of their vehicle.

They are very popular here in my area of southern WV; a close friend from work had a decal made in memory of her dad.   It is on the passenger window of her SUV.

I see them a lot. They don't bother me. I wouldn't do it but to each their own. I would say something about who I see mostly does this but I will refrain from taking a lashing today.

This is something new to me as I've never seen such a thing.  Most unusual as Native New Mexicans memorialize EVERYTHING, but apparently it hasn't caught on here.  Now I'll probably see them all over the place.

I remember seeing some of these a few years ago, but none lately.  At the time they struck me as really tacky, but none of my business.

My thought is that we all lose people we love.  So I don't see a point in doing it.  I think it is like don't others lose loved one too?  What about theirs?  Are they not important?  

 

I don't know just strikes me as since everyone faces this, no need to single mine out. . . from kindness to all who have loved and lost.

I don't think memorials are meant to be put on something that isn't going to last for a very long time.  Agree there is a definite tacky factor.

 

On another weird note, I once went to a wake where the mourners were encouraged to sign the coffin.  I declined to sign.  Just too bizarre for me.

I like those about as much as I liked the "baby on board" signs years ago...
