memorial cross
Roadside death monument
A memorial cross is a cross erected to honor the dead, typically placed at roadsides where fatal accidents occurred or in cemeteries and public spaces to commemorate lives lost.
These markers serve as sites for grief and remembrance: Flowers and photographs surrounded the memorial cross where the teenager died.
The practice spans from simple wooden roadside crosses to elaborate stone monuments honoring war dead or disaster victims.
