Benefits of technology

[0011]An advantage of the present invention is that it can be removably attached to a cemetery memorial.
[0012]Another advantage of the present invention is that the base can be utilized with two separate sets of legs to grip either the front / back of the monument or the two sides of the monument.
[0013]Yet another advantage of the present invention is that the base provides eyelets to which the display, such as a floral display, may be easily connected without the use of adhesives or other floral mounting techniques.

Problems solved by technology

These items are often placed on the ground adjacent to the monument and do thereby cause cemetery maintenance problems, particularly relating to the maintenance of the grass or shrubbery growing in the cemetery.
Typically the foundation extends only a short distance from the base of the monument thereby essentially limiting the placement of memorial items onto the monument itself.
Since the monuments are typically made of stone, there is no easy way to attach a memorial item directly to the headstone.

Base 16 is configured to accommodate either legs 18 extending from the sides of base 16 or legs 20 extending from the front / back of base 16. The choice of which set of legs used is based upon the shape of monument 12 and on the preferences of the installer.

[0021]Base 16 includes a peripheral edge 22 that is bent up from the main plane of base 16. Base 16 additionally includes mounting tabs 24 having holes 26, spring tabs 28, aligned in a longitudinal direction 30 and in ...
