An Alternative to Wall Mounting
Every case in the other categories on this site is designed to hang on a wall. Pedestal cases are built instead to stand freely on a table, mantle, or floor, with the flag case mounted atop a matching solid-wood base. For a home without good wall space near the front room, or for a display meant to stand at a memorial service or in a church, a pedestal is often the more practical choice.
Sizing and Placement
Pedestal sets typically list overall dimensions for the case-and-base combination separately from the flag capacity itself — check both if floor or table space is limited. Most use the same solid cherry construction and beveled glass as the wall-mounted cases in this catalog, just finished to also look complete from a standing vantage point rather than only from the front.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a pedestal case also be mounted on a wall?
Most pedestal sets are designed specifically for freestanding display and may not include wall-mounting hardware. If you want the option to do either, check the individual listing or ask Flags Connections before ordering.
What size flag do pedestal cases hold?
Most are built for the standard 5' x 9.5' burial flag, matching the wall-mounted cases in our other categories. Confirm the interior dimensions on the specific listing.
Are pedestal cases suitable for a memorial service display, not just a home?
Yes — because they're freestanding, pedestal cases are commonly used to display a flag at a wake, memorial service, or church function before the family brings it home.
