It's not too late to order a memorial tile - we have decided to extend the cutoff date until we reach our goal of 100 tiles or until June 15th, whichever comes first - shipping is free for an order of 100 tiles so we are hoping to avoid any shipping costs.  PLEASE share this with anyone you know that might be interested in purchasing a memorial tile or if you want to purchase a tile in memory of your loved one - we all are someone's child, so let's pay tribute to all of them.  This beautiful memorial tile will last a life time – custom engraved in memory of your loved one.  

4” x 8” Personalized Tile (1 – 3 lines of inscription) = $200
8” x 8” Personalized Tile (1 – 6 lines of inscription) = $300

Replica Bricks for your own use, are also available with the purchase of a Personalized Tile.
