How to Choose the Right Memorial Candle and Refill for Your Needs?
If you want a durable and aesthetic solution, glass memorial candles are the ideal option. They are heavier (which gives them stability in the wind) and perfectly protect the flame. All you have to do after the burning is complete is to replace the inner refill, which makes this variant very economical in the long run.
Choosing the refill (insert) depends on the desired burn time. Classic solid paraffin refills burn constantly and cleanly for 24-48 hours. On the other hand, liquid oil refills (special blends) can offer continuous burning for up to 3 or even 4 days (72-96 hours), being ideal for periods when you cannot frequently visit the place of remembrance.
| Product Type | Material and Features | Estimated Burn Time |
|---|---|---|
| Glass Memorial Candle | Heat-resistant glass, metal windproof lid | Reusable (depends on the refill used). |
| Plastic Memorial Candle | Lightweight, integrated protective lid | Single-use (approx. 12-24 hours). |
| Oil / Wax Refill | Plastic cylinder for insertion into the candle | 24h - 96h (depending on size). |
Frequently Asked Questions about Memorial Candles and Refills
Why does my candle go out at the cemetery even though it has a lid?
Extinguishing usually occurs if the wick is exposed to very strong gusts of wind that penetrate through the lid holes, or if rainwater leaks inside. Make sure to use candles with metal lids that screw on or fit tightly. Also, lower-quality refills may have a wick that drowns in the melted wax.
How can I reuse a glass memorial candle?
After the previous refill has completely burned out, wait for it to cool down, then pull the empty plastic tube out of the glass candle. If there are traces of melted wax on the glass, you can clean them with a little warm water. Insert a new refill of compatible size, and the candle is ready to be reused.
What type of refill burns the longest?
Oil-based refills (or special mixtures of vegetable fats and mineral oils) generally have the longest burn time, which can exceed 72 hours. They burn with a steady flame and do not emit black smoke, making them the premium choice for long-lasting illumination.
