Need to choose a cemetery vase, but not sure what to look for? Then this guide is for you. We’ll talk about different styles, materials, and sizes to help you choose the ideal vase for your needs. 

Selecting a beautiful cemetery vase is a meaningful way to honor your loved one. At Holland Supply, we understand the importance of this decision, and we want to make it as simple as possible for you. Let’s explore how to choose the right cemetery vase for you.

How to Choose a Cemetery Vase

There are 3 main decisions you need to make when you’re picking a cemetery vase:

  1. Choose a style
  2. Choose a material
  3. Choose a size

We’ll walk you through the options for each one and talk about some additional factors to consider. 

1. Choose a Style

There are several different styles of cemetery vases available today. The main three options are in-ground vases, half-exposed vases, and stake vases. Here’s some info about each type of vase:

  • In-ground vases: These vases sit flush with the ground when not in use. This helpful design offers a clean and unobtrusive appearance. For more information on in-ground cemetery vases, check out this blog post: In-Ground Cemetery Vases
  • Half-exposed vases: This type of vase offers a unique look – when the vase is open, the top half is exposed while the bottom half sits in the ground.
  • Stake vases: For a simple yet dignified way to display floral tributes, consider stake vases. The intuitive design uses a stake to support the vase above ground.

2. Choose a Material

Cemetery vases come in different materials, each with unique benefits. Some of the many material options are: zinc, bronze, marble, aluminum, and plastic. 

Here at Holland Supply, we offer cemetery vases made of durable zinc and polycasing. Our vases are available with various finishes and customization options to suit any aesthetic. 

3. Choose a Size

Consider the size of the floral arrangements you plan to display, and how you want the vase to look when not in use. If you prefer not to see the vase at all, choose an in-ground cemetery vase. Most cemetery vases that are not in-ground stand between 4-8 inches tall. 

Other Factors to Consider When You Choose a Cemetery Vase

  • Aesthetics
    Choose a vase that complements the memorial and surrounding area. Holland Supply offers various finishes to suit any environment, including bronze and antique silver.
  • Ease of Maintenance
    Most people prefer to choose a cemetery vase that looks beautiful for a long time without much maintenance. That’s why our vases are made of sturdy zinc – because it resists corrosion and weathering to give you years of use.
  • Budget
    There is a cemetery vase for every budget, and it’s helpful to start your search for the right vase with a good idea of how much you want to spend. The material plays a large role in the cost of a vase, so if you are working with a lower budget, consider less expensive materials like heavy-duty plastic.
