Epitaphs on the back windshield

It's tough to criticize. I know I'm an a-hole. But I just don't get it. It's just so fricking tacky. Most all of us adults have dear loved ones who have died. It's painful and it sucks. It's good to remember. Why are you broadcasting this to every stranger on this street?
And then some just say "in loving memory [person's name and date]". That doesn't even make sense. WHAT is in loving memory? The sticker? The car? Great tribute.
Anyway sorry for your loss

I put in my will that I want everyone at the service to receive a window decal and screen printed tshirt as a token of remembrance.

Don't tell me how to grieve

I swear that 30% of the vehicles in Livingston and Tangipahoa have memorials on the back windshield. I've already made a facebook post stating that when I die I don't want to be remembered on the back of your ford f150.

It just screams "attention whore"

My favorite is "Fly High"

I don't get it either. I cut the people some slack when it's a kid but still something I would never do.

Thought this was mostly a Hispanic thing?
I have seen smaller ones in the corner. These were usually done for people around high school age and often seen on jacked up trucks.
In my experience it's not only tacky as hell, it's selfish and attention seeking.

Makes cleaning glass up easier since big clumps stick to it during replacement brah. Now, shite on the actual windshield pisses me off except inspection sticker, gotta peel that junk off and put on new windshield. Sucks during cold months, love my heat gun.

what about jewelry containing ashes of the deceased? my fil died not too long ago and someone thought it was a good idea to have a bunch of lockets made up with some of the ashes, my wife received hers a couple of days ago, I thinks it's morbid and tacky, of course I kept those thoughts to myself

It screams white trash but to each his own. I can kind of understand when I see the dates and it is a young person that dies. I can even begin to imagine what it would be like to lose a child and would never want to experience that.

Which is better, window decal or pouring liquor on the grave?

I could never memorialize my son with a car sticker. Not personal. Tacky. Will probably miss half the letters in 3 years. Fades. Cheap. Yeah... Great way to remember someone

this, a good friend of mine's dad passed away a few years ago, his birthday is St. Paddie' day(and he's Irish,) his favorite drink was a Manhattan, each year we try to go to his grave site, with a batch of Manhattans, including one for him, toast him and pour his on the grave, I think that's cool although I don't care for Manhattans

I don't mind it too much if it's a nicely done decal. It's when it's written in fricking shoe polish all over the back window that I don't understand. It can only be worse if they shorten up the words because they didn't plan their spacing very well. If someone ever writes "RIP Baw" I'm going to lose what little faith I have left in humanity.

Glad to see someone asks the same question I do when they see these
