What a QR memorial is and how it works
A QR memorial is a small code on a plaque by the headstone that opens a person’s whole life on a phone screen.
How it works
You create a memory page and get a QR code for it. The code is engraved on a steel or ceramic plaque and fixed by or on the headstone. Any visitor points their phone camera — and the page with stories, photos and voice opens in the browser, no apps needed.
Why it matters
A headstone holds a name and two dates, but not life itself. A QR code adds everything else to the stone: who the person was, what they loved, what they went through and how their family and friends remember them. This is especially valuable for those who never met the loved one — grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
What if the link becomes outdated
The link behind the QR code can be redirected to a new page at any time — the code on the plaque itself does not need changing. This means memory stays accessible years and decades later, even if technology changes. The plaque is made once, while the content can be updated.
Is it safe
A QR code is just a link; it does not collect data about who scanned it. And the privacy of the page itself is up to you: it can stay open, be locked with a password or be available by invitation only. Memory stays under your control.
