A QR Code on a Grave: How to Make One and Why

What a QR code on a grave offers

A headstone holds a name and dates; a QR code adds a biography, photos, video, voice and the stories of loved ones. It turns a place of mourning into a place to get to know the person — especially for those who never met them.

How to make one

Create a memory page and get the QR code in the editor. Then order a plaque with the code and fix it by the headstone. Scanning opens the page on a phone — with no app or registration required for the visitor.

Which plaque to choose

For outdoor use, stainless steel and ceramic work best — they withstand rain, frost and sun. The ideal code size is from 3 cm, with good contrast. Paper stickers aren't suitable for outdoors.

How much it costs

The memory page itself, in its text version, is free. The only expense is making the plaque, and that depends on the material and the workshop. The link behind the QR code can be redirected later without changing the plaque.
