What is a Gravestone QR?
A gravestone QR is a QR code which is attached to a gravestone. Its primary purpose is to allow more information to be told about the deceased person’s life. A regular gravestone will only allow for a small amount of text to be written about the deceased person. By including a QR code on the gravestone using a medallion or having it engraved gives you lots more options.
