I would think that they are still memorials, if they commemorate an
accident or suicide.
I'm not aware of terribly many use cases for man_made=cross, maybe at
open air church service locations or along stations of the cross.
Food for thought, anyway.

A historic=wayside_cross does not mark the spot; it is not left in a
location where someone is buried or died. It is a way to make sure the
soul of the deceased gets into heaven easier by having passers by pray
for the soul. You don't have to believe in it, but that's what people
believed back then (and maybe some still do).
note that it is not the only reason for placing them
