ABSTRACT:
A support structure that provides a stable housing for grave-markers. The grave-marker support device is highly resistant to the effects of seasonal freezing and thawing and of raining and drying cycles. The grave-marker support maintains the grave-marker in a substantially horizontally-oriented position without undesirable sinking effects. This is accomplished by forming the grave-marker with a structurally-sound flange that is reinforced by a rigid curled-under edge or lip. The flange is attached to a basin that conforms substantially to the shape of the grave-marker and within which the grave-marker rests. Grooves within the basin's bottom surface channel water to an outlet to facilitate drainage. Further, the bottom surface may include raised notches that support the grave-marker in an elevated manner within the basin to enhance drainage even more.
