I think it's in poor taste to put a Spiderman in a place that is to be reverent and respected, like a graveyard. I hope they are forced to take it down.

Breeders' son dies. They want Spider-Man on his gravestone. The city council tells them they can't without permission from Marvel/Disney. Disney tells them they have a policy in place since before Walt Disney died saying none of their IP can be used for grave markers, cremation urns, etc. because they don't want their characters associated with death and dying.
Breeders commission a "temporary" gravestone with a huge image of Spider-Man on it and put it up anyway. Now they are outraged that they've been told by the city council that it has to come down. Cue the lowing.
(I personally love that the father claims "Disney's only interested in money" and that now his son's dead and they won't be getting any more of that sweet toddler paycheck, they don't care; but on the other hand, if they licensed their characters for this kind of thing, wouldn't that make them more money?)
They've already been contacted by a lawyer. Because of course they have. They'll end up making some money off of their kid's death yet.

My stepfather really loved a comic that featured a lot of cows called The Far Side. He had a garbage can with a lid that featured this comic strip. Did I try to obtain a funeral urn with the Far Side or violate copyright? Nope, I just took Ralph's cremation box and put it inside the can my Stepdad already owned, and parked it next to my late sister's little vase and my mother's hookah that holds her remains. None of my 'urns' are actual urns. They just hold what is left of my departed family. I did not need to ask for ANYONE's permission to use what I used, just used the personal property of my parents to hold my parents.

This is because you do it for yourself. The parunts are doing it as a public spectacle.
