Road Side Memorials

I just don't get road side memorials. I find them creepy. I would much rather visit a dead relative in a nicely manicured graveyard then on the side of Route 80. Also, I have never caught anyone in the act of putting one up. It must be an early morning type of venture, which is all the more reason I wouldn't be involved. If I happen to perish on some stretch of road, I will just insist in my will that I should be cremated and that all my living relatives be forced to wear my ashes in a custom made necklace. You know, something normal.
