Humanist funeral for me, I detest religion of any name and form.

Oh feckin right idea... MASSIVE pile of flowers = good. Turned into nice soggy compost... still good!

Concrete monument is really gonna hurt, at least with a big pile of flowers you'll just smell like a poof if you slide into them!

They do have them here in America.
(See lots of them on the backroads)
Mostly flowers or occasionally wooden crosses but the state regularly cleans them up so unless someone continues to place them there they are only around for a month or so.

I think it started in Europe though...
