Flat marker vases

2 Comments

Depending upon the marker selected by the family, some flat marker have vases while others do not.  The benefit of a flat marker over an upright marker is the ability to make mowing easier.  This is the reason flat marker gardens are less expensive.  When the family leaves a vase empty in the upright position, this negates the benefit.  Groundskeepers often turn empty vases over into their storage position.  Groundkeepers have no obligation to return the vases into their upright position for flower use.

Again, depending upon the marker selected, some vases require a phillips head screwdriver.  Most vases must be rotated before it will lock into position.  Remember! The vase may need to be rotated before it can be removed safely from its storage position.

Due to natural weather conditions, the flat marker vase could become unusable due to ground settling.  If  you are unable to correct the issue yourself, please contact cemetery management for the current fee to re-set a marker.

I like how you mentioned that some flat markers have vases while others do not depend on the marker chosen by the family. My uncle mentioned to me last night that he wants to start preplanning his funeral and graveyard markers and asked me if I have any idea what is the best option to do. Thanks to this informative article and I'll be sure to tell him that we can consult funeral service assistance as they can answer all our inquiries and will help us with pre-arrangements.

It is good to know that a phillips head screwdriver is required for some vases. My friend wants to improve the look of her garden. I should advise her to hire a groundkeeper that can execute the looks she wants.
