Pretty tacky IMO.


I tend to agree ... seems there are much better ways to remember a loved one
..... a "green burial," no marker, and occasional walks in a place he
enjoyed, for instance.

I know of several 'angler's rest' memorials and find them a bit tacky too,
but not nearly as much as scene of the crash crosses.

What I really wondered was if some variation on some religion is known to
suggest that the spot where the "soul departed" has to have a cross to help
that soul make it to heaven ( or some such thing )

To me, it seems a terrible place to actually remember ( you know, recall,
think about ) someone you loved
