Abstract

A memorial flower display has a receptacle shaped to receive a flower vase. The flower vase has a plurality of engagement studs that engage mating stud receiving channels in the receptacle. The stud receiving channels each have a top slot. When the engagement studs are in the top slots, the flower vase in held in a raised position. When the user twists the flower vase with an upwardly extending handle integral with the flower vase, the engagement studs are twisted out of the top slots, allowing the engagement studs to slide down the stud receiving channels, thereby allowing the flower vase to be lowered into the receptacle to a lowered position. The memorial flower display preferably is covered with a base plate to secure the memorial flower display against theft. The base plate preferably further includes a pair of closure plates that can be moved to cover the memorial flower display for protection.
