Forever Story?

Not for me, thanks.

Not in the least appealing to me. Mr i is buried in a woodland remembrance garden near our home. It’s so peaceful with no technology, just the occasional rabbit or deer

No. I believe in "Rest in Peace"

Absolutely no way. I have my own memories of my parents and also photos, as do our children. These memories and pictures are private, not for general viewing.

I wouldn't like that for all the world to see! But then I'm being cremated so irrelevant.

Sounds ghoulish - and I would worry about the motives of those accessing them and what they might do with the information they would get from such a device.

Not for me thanks. I find the gravestones with photographs of the deceased disturbing too, they are a reminder that there once was a living, breathing person who is now by your feet. I may not have described this very well,sorry.

This isn't particularly new and it has it's place for those that want to share the deceased's history. I assume you could create the QR code yourself at no cost. I've seen similar on memorial benches where it can contribute greatly to local history.

I know what you mean HPQ. I don’t like them either, find them creepy.

Not for me.. I'm requesting a Silver Birch Tree in a natural burial site

Yes, that would be a concern for me too. Not for me, I'm afraid.

No it sounds disrespectful.
There is a place for technology a grave yard is not one. Especially with children's graves being there.

A big fat NO!

Definitely not

Nope, not for me. The thought makes me feel very uncomfortable.

Too weird for me

What on earth is weird about an online tribute, that's all it is.

There's a grave in USA. Married couple. They were competitive dancers.

The QR code is footage of them dancing the waltz when they were young.

It's actually rather lovely

I m not keen on this everyone is going to have a different take on someone’s life, so it depends who writes it, one child’s view of their parent may be very different to another, unless the dead person writes it themselves before they die
anyway I m getting cremated so doesn’t fit

Can’t see the point of it. Those who know me well will have memories and photos of me. I do find graveyards interesting and they remind me that a person actually lived but don’t see the need to find out more about them.

Oooh definitely not for me, my late parents would also have a pink fit! Sorry, imo bit weird and creepy!

I know it’s awful, but I find this a bit disturbing too

I disagree with many posters on this topic. When walking through a graveyard in a different area recently, I was surprised to see a few photographs attached to headstones: one for each deceased.

On inspection, the deceased was elderly but the photograph was of them as a young vibrant person. I thought that this was a rather lovely idea - not that there is anything wrong with ageing - I embrace it but one showed a woman in her prime and I rather liked the idea.

I don't really agree with the the QR code idea (for where will it end, a video of one's 'best bits' of a life?) but I thought that a single photo was rather lovely. I didn't feel it was tasteless or tacky.

Not for me, but then again I’ve told my family I want to be cremated and my ashes scattered. I do however wear a pendent my brother got made which includes a small amount of my parents ashes, which I know some will find ghoulish, but it brings me comfort. I gave him a key ring which you can project a light through that shows our parents on their wedding day. We lost our parents when we were very young, so it a way to have them with us.
