Facts You Should Expect When Selecting Headstone Vases
Many people find it both respectful and healing to visit the burial site of someone they loved. Flowers are frequently brought as a symbol of love, often left laying on the ground around the grave, though a lot of facilities take issue with this practice. Most of them recommend, or require, that visitors utilize cemetery vases to hold their devotions.
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.
There are so many variations in the styles, designs, shapes, sizes and colors in which these products may be found. The choice should reflect the personality and preferences of the deceased when not required to purchase a specific model. The primary focus is that the product be made in a sturdy design and from a material that is durable to withstand exposure to the elements.
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.
Container placement is another factor to consider when making a purchase. Putting the vase in front may block the information on the headstone, so it is generally recommended it be installed beside, or attached to the marker. Always check facility guidelines before making a purchase of this type.
