Question
One thing that sometimes happens after a traumatic death, is that a family, or a community will build a spontaneous memorial. Sometimes the location is specific to the death (roadside), or sometimes it is a location which held a significant meaning to the community or family (school locker, park bench). There has long been debate about the function, practicality, and even safety of these memorials. For example, it is not uncommon here in Virginia for the Department of Transportation to leave some memorials indefinitely (such as a small marker), but elaborate displays are often removed after six months to a year (depending on the county, the location, and the size). What are some factors for or against such displays? Do you feel they should be left indefinitely? If not, what should we use the guide their removal or relocation? Here is an example of a VDOT solution: http://www.virginiadot.org/info/roadside_memorial_signs.asp Here is an example of a spontaneous local memorial - which was recently removed (although has started to be rebuilt)
