REMEMBERING A LOVED ONE

East Sussex County Council's decision to manage roadside memorials has brought the following response telling us of a free internet-based system of memorials.

I read your article regarding roadside memorials on your website with great interest.

Your readers would benefit from the knowledge there is an alternative to displaying a roadside memorial on public roads or right of ways.

The National Memorial Registry (www.NationalMemorialRegistry.com) is Internet based and offers free of any charge, the opportunity for any individual to dedicate a memorial location to a loved one.

With the help of our extensive database of mapping software, a person can dedicate a specific address, site, or location in honour of, or to validate, the life of an individual that has an influence on their lives.

Every memorial dedication is displayed on our maps for the world to view.

It is a well known fact that many individuals need to experience the grieving process through the display of a roadside memorial.

All too often, local jurisdictions are regulating this practice.

Some are limiting the time a memorial can be displayed, others are banning them.

Some jurisdictions have regulations regarding the placement of memorials but local enforcement is not done, often by choice to help the grieving family.

This same website has a database of information on many of the states, cities, and countries regarding their current and past position, and if available, current legislation regarding the placement of roadside memorials.

The National Memorial Registry is a source for:

- Free online memorial dedications

- Display of memorials on our world wide maps
