I absolutely had to have this for my daughter's Headstone

I came across this and I've never seen or heard anything about anything like this, until I seen it and I absolutely had to have this for my daughter's Headstone, I absolutely love this so much and can't wait to place it for her and all her friends and family to see and be able to share their memories of her . This is the greatest idea anybody could have came up with. It's definitely great quality and it shipped out really fast. Got it within a few days.

Perfect on headstones

We feel this on the headstone is more valuable than the headstone itself.

Younger brother

I purchased a Memorial QR Tile for my younger brother who passed away this last year. The tile was easy to set up and we've already uploaded some content. I was able to give access to my parents and siblings so that they can all add content and make edits. We've been really happy with it so far and I think it will make a nice addition to his monument.

THE BEST SERVICE

Somehow the acrylic cube affixed to the top of the raised headstone was missing. Audiobiography quickly replaced it with the new "coin" version, which will be very difficult to remove. THANK YOU.
