Grave lantern aluminium in several colors

A light that stays burning, whatever the weather

If you want to light a candle at the graveside, that candle deserves a proper home. Not just any holder, but something that sits well alongside the memorial you have chosen for someone you love.

Aluminum built for outdoor use

This grave lantern is made from aluminum, a metal chosen specifically because it holds up to permanent outdoor conditions. It is lightweight but solid, resistant to rust, and untroubled by rain, wind or frost. The color is applied through a patina bath, a chemical process that bonds an even, lasting finish to the surface. Over time, with continued exposure to the elements, the metal may gradually shift in tone. That is not a flaw. It is the natural behavior of aluminum, and it adds character rather than taking anything away from the lantern's appearance.

A clean, modern design that fits most memorials

The straight, contemporary lines of this lantern work equally well with modern headstones and more traditional memorial stones. It sits comfortably alongside a memorial plinth, a grave stone or a columbarium niche. A recess at the base allows the lantern to be fixed securely through a plug directly into the memorial or the ground beneath it, keeping it stable even in strong wind.

Practical reasons why a lantern matters

Placing a candle directly onto natural stone seems straightforward, but candle wax is stubborn. It sinks deep into the surface of stonework and is extremely difficult to remove. In most cases, restoring the stone requires professional re-polishing of the entire face. A lantern prevents all of that. The candle burns protected inside the housing, the memorial stays clean and undamaged, and you have one less thing to worry about when you visit.

Available in several colors

Because the finish is applied through a patina bath, this grave lantern is available in a range of color tones. You can choose a shade that matches or complements the material and feel of the existing memorial, so the lantern looks considered rather than added as an afterthought.
