We see them in SC all the time, usually at
accident sites. I've seen simple crosses, elaborate flower
arrangements, and written messages. I haven't heard of anyone
perserving the items. As for how long they've been around, no idea
:( but it's at least since the late 70s. (and now I feel very
OLD)

Are spontaneous memorials a relatively new thing or have I
been relatively unaware until
recently?
