Is Delaware the only state with Memorials on the back windows of cars??

[LynneSin]

I swear, 30+ years living in Pennsylvania and I never saw this phenomenom until I moved to Delaware: Memorials painted on the back window of cars - rememberance of loved ones no longer with us on this earth.

It's just freaking - I don't think I want to get into a car that is basically a rolling gravestone. I mean, I've lost people that I love but surely I don't want to paint in on the back of my car for everyone to read.

Please tell me this is done in your state and not some freakyass thing found just in Delaware!

1. wish I could

to ease your sense of unease, but I've never heard of this and have never seen it either. All we have in Arkansas are roadside memorials where people have crashed and died.

3. Yeah, we got that too

It's nice but there's a big stink about getting rid of those in Delaware since they create a nuisance for those who drive by.

2. I've seen a few in TN.

The ones I see mostly are ones in remembrance of troops. But then of course, there's the "goodbye to my homie" ones. lol

5. Seen it here in Maine. Hadn't really thought of

doing that for my mom. I don't imagine she would want me to.

8. Florida too.

Espcially among hispanics.

The other thing that's popular here is roadside shrines to loved ones killed on the highway.
It's gotten so bad, that the state now offers little round signs that you can buy (stating "Drive Carefully") and they will install at the roadside site of the fatality...as an alternative to the flowers/teddy bears/pictures that many people found morbid.
