Obituaries on wheels

There seems to be a new trend in New Jersey – putting obituaries on cars. These aren’t people that died in the armed forces, either. “Beloved grandfather” or “Favorite uncle” grace the rear and side windows of cars along the Garden State Parkway. At first I thought it was for people that died in Iraq which is fine, but then I saw more and more family obituaries. Stick to tattoos.
