Preserving Memories: QR Codes for the Departed
Since QR Codes have become so popular with everyone knowing how to scan them, it is an obvious progression to see them being used for more specialised purposes. Smartphone technology is breathing new life into memorials to have QR Codes for the departed loved ones.
QR codes, those little black-and-white grids that can speak to the phones, are adding a new dimension to grave markers, linking to websites brimming with all of the information a family would want in a memorial.
“I think it’s great technology,” said Jim Busch, who runs Cleveland area’s Busch Funeral and Crematory Services with his brother, Mark. “You’re walking through a cemetery, put your smartphone up to the code and you’re instantly linked to a living memorial. It’s a lot better than just seeing the words ‘Loving Husband.’ “
QR Codes at Cemeteries and Grave Stones
QR Codes for the departed could provide an interactive ‘living’ memorial that is a legacy for future generations. If cremated, you can add a QR Code to the resting place or the urn itself.
These QR Codes for the departed can be 3D printed on outdoor plastics which all provide long life and security. You can add slideshows, videos, or photos then upload to YouTube or your favourite platform. Finally, link the URL with the QR Code.
We use a Bio-Link software which makes it very easy to make a memorial page or you can use any of the free ones available.

The same system can be used for pets and animals who you have cherished and passed away.
