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.
An inscribed paver like Billy NY mentioned could be a good compromise but the current or future land owner should retain the right to remove it an any time for whatever reason they wish.
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. There are two crosses right at the end of the culvert.
The other location id beside a US highway. I'm sure the memorial violates the rules but no one has tried to remove it. That ones been there 16 years. 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.
