  • Publication number: 20140311056
    Abstract: A grave marker assembly that can be removably mounted and secured to a support surface such as a lawn crypt lid. The grave marker assembly has a fastening system that is not exposed to view and yet allows the grave marker to be easily installed and removed. The fastening system includes a channel and interior opening formed on a base member that is adapted to receive a fastener. The fastener in turn is adapted to be inserted into an opening formed on the crypt lid or other support surface. The assembly further includes a multi-function frame disposed along the outer periphery of the memorial marker that can serve as a decorative feature and draining functions.

  • Patent number: 8006355
    Abstract: A lawn crypt covering system that provides a substantially continuous exterior surface between adjacent crypts is disclosed. The covering system includes a plurality of crypt lid covering and at least one insert that slidably engages with the crypt lid coverings of two adjacent crypts. The insert interlocks with the two crypt lid coverings, thereby covering the gap between the two crypts and provides a stable support surface to people to walk on without getting the heel of the shoe stuck in the gap. The interlocking mechanism allows a side edge of the insert to mate with a side edge of each crypt lid covering.
