Not at all. It's nice to have these spread around where people can use them.

That's a good location. At least it will get some use. People are not allowed to sit on the ones on the golf courses during play, for safety reasons.

Of all the legitimate complaints one can level about what occurs here in TV...this certainly isn't one of them. lol

That NEVER "creeped me out". The idea of any memorial is to have future people remember a person or HISTORICAL incident. Since a lot of people pass through getting their mail it would appear to be a GREAT place to remember someone's name and life.
.....If anyone was stupid enough to want to remember me, they could put a memorial sign at the Post Office, or in front of a bar, or near a tennis court or, up a tree for the squirrels to see. Just don't put my name ANYWHERE near a Golf (ugg) course!

I see people socializing at the postal station often and a bench makes good sense

Plus they provide a GREAT target for male dogs.

Might be better for the appearance of the Post Office if people would take their junk mail home and put it into their own trash - because the P.O. trash overflows.

Memorial = Dead

I think it is great. Everyone dies, at least physically. There's nothing creepy about it. It's a useful way to remember those who were here and contributed to our community before us.

Maybe if it was a ghost.

Here we go, once again, on the topic of trash cans at the postal station.

Since you’re the trash police, kindly share with the rest of us exactly what type of trash is allowed to be placed in those containers.
