Nature stone memorial vase in different types of granite

Flowers at the graveside, every season

A headstone or memorial already says something. A granite vase placed alongside it continues that thought, season after season, with flowers, a branch, or a simple touch of colour on a spot that deserves it.

Granite: the same material as the stone itself

Granite is the most widely used material for headstones and urn monuments, and for good reason. It is dense, hard-wearing and built to withstand years of rain, frost and sun. This memorial vase is available in several granite types, so you can choose a variety that sits naturally alongside the existing stone. Whether you prefer a dark anthracite, a grey-flecked granite or a slightly lighter tone, the clean, unfussy profile suits both modern and traditional monuments in stainless steel, glass or natural stone.

Designed for outdoor use, year round

The base of the vase has a drainage hole so rainwater does not collect and your flowers stay fresh for as long as possible. A plastic inner vase is included, which holds the water and lifts out easily when you want to change it. During prolonged frost, it is worth removing the inner vase temporarily: plastic can crack under extreme cold. The granite itself is unaffected.

Securing the vase protects the stone beneath

We recommend having the vase fixed in place by a stonemason or the cemetery groundskeeper. A vase that shifts across the surface of a headstone can trap grit underneath, which may scratch the natural stone. Having it secured is a straightforward job and removes that risk entirely, while also keeping the vase stable in wind.

A choice that belongs with your memorial

If you are looking for something that feels like part of the monument rather than an addition to it, granite is the natural answer. It shares the same origin and the same honesty of material as the stone it sits beside. The bond you had with the person resting here deserves to be reflected in every detail of the place you keep for them.
