Nature stone memorial vase in different types of granite

Still at the graveside, strong through every season

You want to keep the place where your loved one rests looking right, through winter frost, summer heat and everything in between. Not with something temporary, but with something that belongs there.

Granite that sits beside the monument

This memorial vase is cut from natural granite, the same material used in the great majority of headstones and memorial monuments. That is not a coincidence. Granite is one of the hardest natural stones on earth, formed under immense pressure over millions of years. Its colour and grain pattern emerge from deep within the rock, which means no two pieces are identical. The vase has a clean, unfussy profile that sits comfortably beside modern and classical monuments alike, whether those are natural stone, stainless steel or glass. It is available in several granite types, so you can choose the variety that most closely matches your existing monument.

A place for flowers

Bringing flowers to a grave is a quiet, genuine gesture. This vase is designed specifically for that purpose, and it holds that gesture well.

Built for year-round outdoor use

The vase is designed to remain outside throughout the year. A drainage opening is built into the base to prevent water from collecting and causing damage to the stone. A plastic inner vase is included for holding cut flowers. During periods of hard frost, the inner vase should be removed temporarily, as freezing water can crack it. This takes only a moment and will extend the life of the vase considerably.

Securing the vase protects the monument

We recommend having the vase secured in place by a stonemason or cemetery specialist. A loose vase that shifts against natural stone, particularly with grit or sand beneath it, can scratch and mark the monument surface. Fixing it properly protects the stone and keeps the graveside looking as it should. Your cemetery or local stonemason will be able to advise on the best method.

A choice that reflects the bond you shared

Granite does not age in the way softer materials do. It resists fading, tolerates the weather and asks very little of you in return. Choosing a vase that matches or complements the existing monument brings the whole graveside together in a way that feels considered rather than added. That coherence is often exactly what people are looking for.

What to know before you order

The vase is available in multiple granite types and colours, each suited to different monument styles. It includes a plastic inner vase for flowers and a drainage opening for all-season outdoor use. If you are unsure which granite type will best match your monument, we are happy to help you work that out before you place your order.
