Description

Description The Forget Me Not Vase is a memorial vase and more. Due to the longer length of the removable inner container, the Vase will hold a full length bunch of flowers; no trimming of stems required and no need to 5 place each bloom singly. The stability of the design means the flowers will not bend in the wind as the stems are protected. The Vase is prevented from toppling over as it can be fixed to a flat, soil or grass surface using the unique fixing flaps and fixing rods, e.g. metal pins. If these flaps are not required, i.e. the vase is slotted into the base of an existing vase space on a grave, the flaps fold upwards and click into place to give a clean 10 finish. The Vase is designed with two memorial purposes - for use in cemeteries and also for use at home when burying a beloved pet in the garden as is so often the case. With this in mind, you are able to write personalised messages of remembrance and add poems and photos to the body of the Vase using the accompanying paper template. These can be hand drawn, 15 written, printed etc. This template is then wrapped around the vase and protected by a clear plastic cover. This template can be updated as often as required by simply printing a new template and adding your messages. For the pet memorial aspect, the Vase has a sheltered chamber at the base of the Vase with a holding jar for memorabilia or in the case of small pets, the jar would have the capacity to hold ashes.
