Do you want them frost-resistant or frostproof? It's always worth checking
the labels.

What is the difference between resistant and proof? I would like to know as
I have to get a new pot for our parents grave. The last one succumbed after
18 months, but I think it cracked under the force of the solid ice filling
rather than just frost.

You can make terracotta pots resistant to frost by painting about two
inch down the inside and outside with polyurethane varnish. The
varnish must soak into the terracotta. I have some varnish treated
pots that have survived winters for over 10 years.
