Memorial Vases in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire

Memorial vases give you a place to leave flowers in remembrance of someone you love. Our range includes granite and marble vases to stand on their own or sit alongside a headstone, with a choice of colours and designs that can include an inscription or a small decorative detail.

Place for Flowers

Bringing a favourite flower or a few stems from the garden can be a familiar part of visiting a memorial or grave. A memorial vase holds those flowers, whether you visit on special dates or simply when you want to spend some time there.

Personal Inscriptions

A name, a short dedication or a few familiar words can give a memorial vase its own meaning. Depending on the design, you may also wish to include a small decoration, with the lettering arranged to suit the shape and space available.

Here to Help with Memorial Vases

Whether you are choosing a new memorial vase or adding one to an existing grave, we are happy to talk through your ideas. Our team can help with the stone, inscription and placement, so you can consider the options before deciding.

About Memorial Vases

A memorial vase can be a tribute in its own right or form part of a larger memorial. When choosing one for an existing grave, consider where it will sit and how it will look beside the headstone. A similar stone and finish can help the two sit naturally together, while a different colour may provide a contrast you prefer. The position should also allow flowers to be arranged without covering the inscription or other details you would like to keep visible.

Think about the flowers you like to bring, whether a few individual stems, a small bunch from the garden or a fuller arrangement. Both the vase and the flowers need room, particularly when placed on a headstone base or within a kerbset. Leaving enough space to reach the vase makes it easier to change the water, replace flowers and keep the area tidy. These everyday details can help you choose a design that suits the way you visit and tend the grave.

Memorial Vase Range

Our memorial vase range includes designs that can carry a name, dates or a short dedication, depending on the space available. You might choose wording that stands on its own, or a few words that sit alongside the inscription already on the headstone. A familiar phrase or family name may be all you wish to include. As you look through the range, think about which words matter most and whether you would like to include a small decorative detail.

Bring your ideas to our Gainsborough showroom or contact us by phone or email. If the vase will accompany an existing memorial, a photograph and approximate measurements will help us consider the colour, proportions and available space with you. We can then look at your proposed wording and help you settle the lettering and any decorative details. Before the inscription is added, you will have a layout to check so that the names, dates and arrangement are as you would like them.
