Departed souls are remembered in a myriad of ways — one way is to honour them by putting a QR code on the graves, their final resting place.

A QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that is read by scanning it. These have been used since the 1980s, although they have been widely used today.

A QR code is made by using free tools such as QR code Generator or QRCodely. One can, of course, buy readymade QR codes through internet. You need not use your real phone number as the code’s URL. Instead, you can use email address or an anonymous unique identifier such as UUID — Universally Unique Identifier.

A QR code on a grave shows that you care about the identity of the deceased. You engage with people walking past the final resting place. It provides information about the resting person — name, age when passed away and a brief note about them. It can be a memory trigger. Mostly, QR codes are text-onlyQR codes. You can put a poem or quote even. There are QR codes with images and pictures. Here pictures of family members are shared. Future generations can gather how their ancestors looked like.
