I can understand the parents grief. But I wouldn't allow a permanent marker like they want on my property.
I like the scholarship idea. It wouldn't just be a way for the parents to remember their son, it would be helping someone else as well.

Temporary crosses or wreaths are often put up at fatal accident sites around here. I can think of two that have been there for years. One is on a country road where a car load of kids on their way home from school went off the road and hit a culvert killing 2 of the 4 occupants of the car.

I don't think it's so much for the family that lost their kids (the family lives 60 miles away) as it is a reminder to the family of the (local) drunk driver that ran a stop sign and killed two sisters.
