It can represent a dead beloved pet buried in front of (or behind) the location of the cross. A gravemarker, in other words.

It can represent a signal that a KKK member or other white supremacist, or sympathizer, lives in the house.

The problem is that you don't know which of the three it is, without communicating with the person directly. And at that point, if you don't like the answer, it's too late. You can't "unknow" what you just heard from the homeowner's lips.
