What Is a QR Memorial?
You have probably seen QR codes on menus, posters, products and advertisements.
But a QR code can also connect a physical memorial to a digital story.
This is the idea behind a QR Memorial.
A QR Memorial is a physical memorial marker or plate containing a QR code that connects visitors to a digital memorial or Legacy Page.
The QR code acts as a bridge between the physical world and the digital world.
How Does It Work?
The process is simple:
- Visit the memorial.
- Scan the QR code with a smartphone.
- The phone opens the corresponding Legacy Page.
- Explore the person’s photographs, stories, videos and memories.
Instead of simply seeing information engraved on a memorial, visitors can access a much richer story.
Why Put a QR Code on a Memorial?
A traditional memorial has limited physical space.
A QR code provides access to a much larger digital collection.
For example, a memorial might display:
The QR code beside it can lead to a Legacy Page containing:
- Her biography
- Childhood photographs
- Family photographs
- Videos
- Family stories
- Voice recordings
- Tributes
The physical memorial remains simple while the digital memorial carries the deeper story.
QR Memorials Can Be Used in Many Places
A QR memorial can potentially be incorporated into:
- Cemetery markers
- Memorial park markers
- Columbarium niches
- Urns
- Mausoleums
- Family memorials
- Cremation memorials
- Other appropriate memorial objects
The specific installation method should be suitable for the material and environment.
A QR Code Is Not the Memorial
The QR code itself is simply the connection.
The meaningful part is what lies behind it.
The QR code opens the door.
The Legacy Page tells the story.
