The present invention relates generally to a repositionable cover for a headstone, memorial marker or statuary. The cover shields the headstone, memorial marker or statuary from the weather, debris, pollution and vandalism. The covering may be entirely or partially transparent, or may be opaque with a transparent viewing window that allows a user to open the window to access the surface of the headstone, memorial marker or statuary.

A flag mounting device for engaging a gravesite vase. The flag mount device is generally diamond shaped with a central opening for engaging a top of the vase. When positioned atop the vase the flag mounting device is horizontally disposed with respect to the ground. A container securing component penetrates the flag mounting device horizontally extending from a corner inward into the central opening and engages the top of the vase to secure the flag mounting device to the vase. A pair of flagpole bores partially penetrate a top of the flag mounting device and are configures to receive a pair or miniature flagpoles. Each miniature flagpole is secured within the respective flagpole bore by a flagpole securing component that extends from a side corner inward into the flagpole bore.

A hybrid mausolino system that includes a metal frame structure forming levels within which a crypt area and a niche area are defined. The metal frame structure forms an upper level that resides just below a roof and includes a plurality of inter-locking panels that partition this level into niche spaces. Some embodiments include a removable roof with a lintel structure having access ports positioned over the niche spaces and lids secured to each access port. The reconfigurable niche spaces allow for adjustment of niche spaces to provide for increased versatility and efficient use of mausolino space. The niche spaces are horizontally orientated and can be accessed via a side panel of the structure for interment or disinterment. With embodiments having a removable roof, the niche spaces can be accessed via a side panel, or the roof can be removed allowing for top access to the niche space.

A funerary structure for containing funerary objects, which comprises a base framework provided with a plurality of profiled elements which are arranged along at least two directions and can be fixed to a supporting wall. The profiled elements delimit laterally at least one containment recess for funerary objects. There is at least one slab for closing the recess, which can be fixed, by virtue of fixing elements, to the base framework on the opposite side with respect to the supporting wall. At least one anchoring plate is provided for the fixing of the funerary structure to the supporting wall.

A modular crypt structure comprising a frame, a module insert defining a chamber and a closure panel and methods of constructing the same are disclosed. The chamber functions as a crypt module and receives bodily remains or portions thereof The chamber is closed by attaching a closure panel, such as a stone crypt front to the frame. The modular crypt frame may comprise a plurality of horizontal bars and a plurality of vertical bars. A method of constructing a modular crypt structure comprises erecting a frame, providing at least one module insert, configuring the insert to define a chamber adapted to receive bodily remains, and closing the crypt module. A modular crypt system including a niche side wall is also disclosed having a niche side wall frame, a niche insert defining a plurality of niches positioned within the frame, and a closure panel positioned on the niche side wall frame.

A modular columbarium for storing funerary urns, comprising a plurality of individual containers able to be coupled together in a matrix arrangement, preferably in rows and columns. Said individual containers are each made up of a part made from injection-mouldable plastic material defined by a base and side walls, such that it defines an inner space provided to house at least one funerary urn, wherein each container includes removable closing means provided to close off the inner space from the outside, wherein the closing means include at least one inner door which isolates the inner space from the outside environment, the inner door having releasable locking means and a male-female coupling system for the joining thereof to the individual container.

A system for renewable interment and improved body decomposition, comprising: a vault assembly comprising at least one reusable vault mounted on a raft; the at least one reusable vault comprising a respective removable access wall wherein the removable access wall is selectively removable from the vault to allow access for reuse; wherein the raft comprises at least one footing structure adapted to underlie the at least one reusable vault such that the ground on which the footing structure rests is adapted to function as the floor of the reusable vault; and a porous granular material adapted to at least partially bury the at least one footing structure and at least partially surround the at least one reusable vault to direct oxygen-carrying fluid through and out of the vault assembly such that the growth of decomposition bacteria is supportable within the at least one reusable vault.

A memorial display system including a memorial assembly having a grave marker, a storage compartment, and indicia. The grave marker includes an integral storage compartment and the indicia. The storage compartment is a transparent display case. The indicia is displayed on the front surface of the grave marker. The memorial assembly is modular and configured to secure and seal pre-selected memorial items as contents for viewing.

A method and system of affixing a plaque to a solid surface is provided. The method includes the steps of providing at least one opening in a face of the solid surface and inserting a plaque support into the at least one opening. The plaque support includes a body defining a passageway therethrough and having a first end and a second end. The first end has a flange portion. Further, at least one outer tab member extends radially outward toward the first end and at least one inner tab member extends radially inward toward the second end. The outer tab member engages the solid surface upon insertion of the plaque support into the at least one opening. The method and system further include providing the plaque with at least one installation fastener. The at least one installation fastener is inserted into the passageway of the plaque support, such that the at least one inner tab member engages the at least one installation fastener.
