Basics To Know When Picking Cemetery Vases
For many people, it is both a matter of respect, as well as a way of healing, to visit the burial place of someone who has passed away. Some choose to lay bouquets and individual flowers directly onto the grave though most places prefer it not be done in that manner. They recommend the use of cemetery vases for a number of reasons.
There are many practical applications that could spark a facility's need to set strict code as to the kind of containers that may be used for floral arrangements. Logically speaking, the flowers will fare much better if held upright in a bit of water than laying on the ground. A holder also keeps them neat and prevents the wind from spreading them around.
Grounds maintenance is another consideration that has led most facilities to make container stipulations. Certain styles make it much easier for those tending the lawn to keep the grass around each headstone neat and trimmed. Some degree of uniformity also lends an aesthetic appeal to the site when viewed as a whole.
The range of colors, sizes, shapes, designs and styles available are quite numerous. This allows one to purchase a product that accurately reflects the tastes of the person for whom it is intended to honor. It is most important to select an item that has a strong design and is created from a weather resistant material as it will sustain prolonged elemental exposure.
Shape is generally decided by the look of the headstone and the buyer's own preferences. It in no way determines how long the item will withstand the elements. Most containers are creative variations of basic forms like urns, squares, cones and cylinders, though some are unique designs.
Placement availability is also a necessary consideration. Whenever possible, place the container on the side of, or above the headstone instead of in front of it, to avoid blocking resident information. No purchase should be made without checking facility rules first.
