QR Code Memorial Guides for Headstones and Graves
The questions worth asking while someone is still here, and plain answers to the ones families ask before putting a QR code on a grave: how the codes work, what the plaques are made of, what they really cost, who you need permission from, and what happens to the page in twenty years.
We write these because the honest answers were hard to find when we went looking. Prices here were read from each company’s own website on the date at the top of the page, and anything we could not verify we left out rather than guessed at. Where a competitor does something better than we do, we say so.
