  I find the vogue for roadside "shrines" incomprehensible and irritating. What is the fascination with commemorating the place of someone's death, as opposed to celebrating their life? So they're no longer around, but their loss is greater than that of their survivors, so mark their life with a gravestone or similar, a park bench, foundation or simply memories. Most people (?) die at their home; what are you going to do - garland it with flowers in perpetuity? And then there's cellophane wrapping on flowers anyway; for Pete's sake take it off as you would flowers you get or are given, otherwise it looks as though you can't be bothered beyond a quick, tick-box trip to the florists or supermarket.
