About HD Roadside Memorials
We have all noticed as we have driven the highways and byways either on the side of the road or in the distance memorials that have been placed in remembrance of a loved one who has lost their lives due to a car accident or some unfortunate incident at that location. Some of these memorials are very elaborate and most are being maintained.
Have you ever wondered what drives someone month after month and year after year to return to these locations, to continually have the desire to visit and maintain these memorials? Well, we have! HD Memorial Magazine is interested in speaking to those individuals and exploring those reasons.
We would like to reach out to those selfless individuals who take the time to care for and remind us of those amazing individuals. As you are traveling and come across these memorials, we ask that you assist us in our endeavor to do so. If you could take photos of the memorials and include as much information as possible such as the name of the individual, their date of birth and date of accident it would be greatly appreciated. Please send all information to hdmemorial1@gmail.com.
We thank you in advance for your contribution to this worthy endeavor.
