A Small Addition Designed for Lasting Memory: 123Invent’s MHO-662 Headstone Accessory Arrives

New attachment aims to make small acts of remembrance easier and more durable

123Invent has unveiled the MHO-662, a new accessory for headstone monuments that the company says is meant to help families display flowers, flags and small keepsakes without damaging stonework. The announcement frames the item as a practical add-on for graves, veterans’ markers and family plots that balances durability with a low visual profile.

In plain terms, 123Invent presents the MHO-662 as a way to make common memorial tasks easier: hold a vase steady through wind, keep seasonal decorations tidy, or mount a small personalized plaque without drilling into granite or marble. The company positions the product as something cemeteries, monument companies and individual buyers could use to modernize how memorial items are attached and protected.

What the MHO-662 looks like and how it works

The MHO-662 is described as a compact, weatherproof bracket that clips to the base or edge of a headstone. 123Invent says it combines metal and polymer components chosen for outdoor use: corrosion-resistant metal for the structural parts and UV-stable polymer for surfaces that touch flowers or small objects.

According to the release, the unit is low-profile so it does not obscure the stone’s face. It secures with a clamp or adhesive method designed to avoid drilling. The design accepts a range of small attachments: a cylindrical holder that can take cut flowers, a narrow pocket for flags, and a flat face intended for a removable personalization panel. Seals and cushioning elements are said to protect the stone finish where the accessory contacts the monument.

123Invent emphasizes that weather resistance and simple maintenance were central to the design. The materials are pitched as easy to clean and resistant to common cemetery stresses such as rain, snow and lawn-care equipment. The release also notes that elements of the MHO-662 can be swapped out so families can change a plaque or replace a holder without removing the whole unit.

Who made it and why, according to the company

The project comes from 123Invent, a product development firm that says it focuses on small, practical inventions for daily life. In the company’s announcement, the product is framed as a response to requests from local memorial companies and family caretakers who wanted a non-permanent way to personalize markers.

“MHO-662 brings practical, durable and tasteful personalization to grave markers,” the release says, adding that the company aimed to combine respect for traditional stonework with modern convenience. The announcement recalls conversations with memorial dealers who noted growing demand for personalization options that don’t require permanent alteration of monuments.

123Invent’s statements link the product to wider trends: families increasingly seek lightweight, changeable ways to mark anniversaries and holidays without committing to permanent fixtures. The company positions the accessory as serving that practical need rather than altering the look of a headstone permanently.

Who might buy it and where it could fit in the memorial market

The release points to several likely buyers: cemetery operators who want to offer small upgrades to lots; monument retailers that may add the item to their catalog of add-ons; and individual consumers who care for family graves and want a simple solution for vases and small tokens. Funeral homes and veterans’ groups are also mentioned as possible channels for distribution.

123Invent says it plans to sell directly and through select memorial dealers. The company frames pricing as accessible compared with custom stonework, suggesting the accessory could be an impulse or seasonal purchase for many families. If that holds, the MHO-662 might not replace larger monument upgrades but could capture steady, modest demand for personalization and maintenance aids.

How to get one now and what to watch next

The company says the MHO-662 is available now through 123Invent and select dealers, with more distribution planned if early interest grows. The press release includes ordering and media contact details for buyers and reporters; interested readers should consult that release for exact contact information and dealer listings.

Items to watch in coming months include real-world feedback from cemeteries and monument shops on installation safety and stone protection, any formal warranty or return terms from 123Invent, and whether larger memorial manufacturers adopt a similar, non-invasive approach. For now, the MHO-662 looks like a small, practical product aimed at a simple problem: keeping flowers and tokens secure while leaving the stone itself untouched.
