What To Learn When Picking The Proper Cemetery Candles

By Anna Katrina


A great many people find comfort in visiting the graves of their loved ones who have passed on. Some also like to bring special tokens such as toys, figurines and flowers to leave on the headstone as a sign of respect. Cemetery Candles are also quite popular because they are attractive and provide lighting for the site.

Illuminating a headstone is a common practice in many cultures, ensuring the departed is never left in darkness. Because an actual candle poses a fire hazard, most burial facilities have banned them from use. As an alternative, people have turned to a solar powered option instead.

Marketed under titles such as vigil, abiding or eternal lights, their purpose is to make sure the headstone is always illuminated. Using solar cells and LED bulbs in place of filaments, they create a strong glow. Having the ability to store extra energy collected during hours of high sunlight allows them to be reliable even in rain and low sun times.

Their cost is also economically sound since a single LED can shine for about 100,000 hours. Dependability is another thing that makes this a great lighting option. To suit a variety of tastes, they have lights that can burn white or amber, steady or flickering to simulate authenticity.

When choosing a lamp for a grave site, it is important to consider the size and design of the headstone. Those with a ledge may be well served by votive style lights, though those flush with the ground may be better with a style that is staked into the ground. However, before putting any decorations out, it is important to see if the facility has any rules or restrictions.

There are other advantages to these products aside from their purpose and attractiveness. They can be moved and placed easily, produce no smoke and are quite environmentally friendly. They do not have to be replaced as often as the alternatives, are a reliable source of illumination and pose no risk of catching fire.
