I've never thought about the issues of degenerating memorials or private property--mostly because they're usually on the side of a public road and I don't get close enough to notice if they're mouldy or something.

I'm kinda surprised to hear of such memorials in other places--I always thought it was a Mexican/hispanic-american thing. We get a lot of them here, with crosses and flowers--sometimes pictures or paintings of La Virgen.
