Car memorials they’re called, have y’all seen these? Stickers on the back windows of cars, memorializing some poor dead person.
The first time I saw one I thought maybe the person actually died in the car. Laid down for a nap and just never woke up. That might make sense.
I just don’t get it. Lets take death, tragic and sacred, and turn our grief into a bumper sticker. I loved little Jimmy so much, I’d like to tell the world, on my filthy car window. I’ve heard some even have a photo. Creepy.

Very popular in the neighborhood I teach in, along with the memorial t shirts. I’ve never gotten it either, but am especially found of the tees with food spilled all over them.

I’ve seen the picture ones and it’s not pretty.
The worst so far i’ve seen is one of a school-age child—Yuck!
Still like the gangster ones tho–
