Yes. We also have flowers and crosses by the sides of the road where people have died in car accidents.
-
No, not here.
-
I've seen it on some peoples cars. It is not my taste, though.
-
I've never seen that but there are quite a few roadside crosses and little commemorative 'shrines' marking the sites of fatal road accidents.
-
Yes, it's pretty prevalent where I live and, not to sound harsh, but they should knock it off. There is a time and place for grieving and it's not sitting in an intersection. A rear window is not a billboard and shouldn't be a grave marker, either.
-
Yes ppl do do this where I live sometimes. And to (GIDEON) I beleive that if a person wants to greive with their loved ones remembered in their rear views that it's their choice. Who are we to say that they shouldn't. It's not really offensive to any one so why does it matter. When people walk around with In Loving Memory tattoos and T-shirts no one says anything I really don't see the difference.
-
Not on cars. It sounds a little tacky. Like "HEY! I'm GRIEVING here! Go around!"
-
i haven't seen the signs in cars, but i have seen people with tattoos or wearing t-shirts with the deceased person's picture, name, RIP and the dates. the roadside shrines are pretty common around here, too. personally, i probably wouldn't do any of those things. i don't have a problem with the shrines, but the others seem to be more for attention than out of grief.
-
I've never seen that. I can't imagine wanting to share my pain with world. It's bad enough when people can see that I've been crying.
-
Yes, they do. Also there are shrines at the side of the road where people have died - usually a cross, flowers, balloons and candles. There's one across from the exit to where I work. It makes me stop and think for a moment every night when I am leaving.

There was a sherriff shot to death near here about 2 years ago while serving a warrant and I have seen signs in cars about him but not many others.
-
Never heard of that here in Annapolis Md. or I'm just not paying attention. Havn't noticed it in Baltimore,Virginia, Wash.D.C or Delaware either.
-
yes in witham an surrounding areas we c these tributes in the windows of cars quite oftern if anybody knows how to get hold of the white signs used plz post it here for all to see....................................................................................

I guess I wouldn't do it myself, but I don't object at all if people want to memorialize a loved one on a car window. A few days ago I saw a car with the person's dad's name, birth and death dates, and the words "my inspiration and hero." I can't quarrel with that.
-
I see it here quite often. It's not something I'd, personally, ever do, but it doesn't offend or bother me. I am not sure if it's done to necessarily show grievance. I think sometimes it's done as a way to keep someone's memory alive out of fear they will be forgotten. I am a high school teacher, and one of the students at my school was killed in a car accident earlier this year. Many of his classmates had memorial decals placed on their cars after the school removed the "shrine" that had been formed at his locker. It seemed strange at first, but after I thought about it, I realized that cars are extremely important and symbolic to kids this age.
-
I haven't seen that here put there are memorials all along the road ways where people have died. I find it a annoying. I guess I cold harded.
-
for a month the most.a lost can be a terrible thing to deal with.
-
I saw that a lot where we lived in Georgia, but I don't think I've seen any here in Indiana.
-
All the time in PA, and they leave the decals on for YEARS. I see alot of the decals, sadly, on cars in a local junkyard when we go for parts.
-
My son passed away a little over a year ago, these decals that people put on their rear window,s is truly so other people do not forget our loved ones.
