Death is just a part of life, and it rarely comes when expected. I think this is good for folks to realize that nothing in life is guaranteed, not even tomorrow. It's shocking, but really, shouldn't be scarey (unless you think you'll never die or something *shrug*).
I don't see it as anything more than an evolution of leaving flowers/food at a gravesite. Monuments of death are always for the survivors, not the deceased.
