What does "erect a shrine on the grave" mean? At 1:37 of this video, the man said, "we're going to erect a shrine on your grave, that says 'This person made a mistake.'" https://youtu.be/k5RH3BdXDOY What does "shrine" mean here?

I did not watch the clip, but in essence, it would be a gravestone, but rather than that person's name ingraved on it, it would have that message as a warning to others. A shrine is more like a small table or elevated shelf that one puts religious items on either in prayer or as remembrance of someone who has passed away. It isn't usually on a grave though (at least in my experience...). I hope that this helps you. J.
