A Guide To Selecting Military Flag Cases
Military
flag cases are specially designed hand made memorial
flag cases in which the folded burial flag of deceased military
personnel can be safely stored and displayed.
There
are many different types of military flag cases for
buyers to choose from. These include military flag cases
with glass panels (so the burial flag can be viewed), and
military flag cases that incorporate medal display
units. Together with the variety of shapes that military
flag cases come in and the different types of wood from
which the solid wood flag cases are built, the choices facing
the buyer can sometimes seem a little overwhelming.
To
help you arrive at the right buying decision we've assembled
below three basic questions. By answering these questions
you should arrive at a suitable military flag case that
satisfies your needs.
Where do you intend to display your military
flag case?
Where
you display your military flag case will have a bearing
on the type of case that you buy. If you want to fix your
military flag case to the wall, then be sure that you select
one that has wall mounts. You will find that most of our
military flag cases are available with free wall
maounting hardware and can be found
here in our online military
flag cases catalog.
If
you would prefer to display your military flag case on a
flat surface you should consider military flag cases that
are compatible with table mounted pedestals, such as the
basic
pedestal or the pedestal
urn which is available only with the Presidential
Flag Cases or the Liberty
Flag Cases.
Do you want to display other items in the
military flag case besides the flag?
Often,
families of the deceased choose to display medals, flags,
pins and other military memorabilia alongside the burial
flag. Some military flag cases are available with a medal
display case with shadow box areas that are suitable
for this function. A Velcro background fills the shadow
area enabling military memorabilia to be easily fixed in
the military flag display case next to the American flag.
Again the medal
display cases are available only with the Presidential
Flag Cases or the Liberty
Flag Cases.
What wood type best represents the deceased?
Military
flag cases are available in a variety of solid wood designs.
The most popular types of wood are oak, walnut and cherry.
Oak is often seen to represent strength and longevity; walnut
a uniqueness of character, and cherry wood traditional American
values. eFlagCases.com offers a choice of different military
flag cases in a variety of these solid wood finishes.
