I didn't really make sense to me from a business standpoint. Graveyards are not exactly "high traffic areas." I have a hard time seeing how that would be considered a workable advertising strategy. Would they actually get enough business from the ads to make it worth doing them?

Unless, of course, it was something like the mausoleums in Forest Lawn Cemetery in LA. A bunch of movie stars are interrred there and tourists do go by to gawk at Clark Gable's headstone and whatnot. And have you ever seen what Doors fans have done to poor Jim Morrison's grave site in that cemetery in Paris?

those people are fans of famous people, not grieving families who would be offered money! ugh! i think it's wrong!

What did people do to the grave, then?

People are contantly painting stuff on it and carving stuff in it and chipping away pieces of the headstone to take home with them. People are morons.

Though I think they took some extraordinary measures this last time to anchor it to the ground...

I'm pretty sure Jim Morrison's grave has had to be redone/replaced/cleaned up more than once. Who knows how many times. And people just keep continuing to do it. I just don't understand what gets into people sometimes.

They are all just a bunch of hippies. I have no real issue with it. Jim lived a controversial life. It's funny that he is also living a controversial death.

Besides signing epitaphs on his gravestones (and surrounding ones), they alse leave beer bottles and cans for him. That's love. ;)
