INSTALLING THE GRAVESIDE MEMORY CAPSULE

NOTE!!!! Consult with your cemetery management about its installation before purchasing a graveside memory capsule. Each cemetery has its own appearance and installation rules and it is within all of our wishes to follow those rules. All cemetery officials that we have talked with have been very helpful since they quickly realize that in our new computer/internet world, these installations are inevitable.

The most popular method of installing a life story is in a flower vase block. These are available at any cemetery if a new one is required, or an older flower vase already installed may be replaced with a Graveside Memory capsule using the same block. There are also numerous monument companies that build these blocks from whom they may be directly purchased.

Using a flower vase block also has the advantage that it solves the problem of the double grave where the deaths occur at different times. Two vase blocks are installed at the time of the first burial while one is used as a flower vase holder and the other for a life strory memory capsule. When the second death occurs, the flower vase is removed from its block and replaced with a life story of the second person.

A unique installation is shown in the section of this site describing what a graveside memory is. This installation was made in a bench.

Headstone companies often include flower vase mounting arrangements as a part of the headstone itself. These installations may also be used for mounting Graveside Memory Capsules.
