What to put on a grave marker? That’s a current debate in my family. We can’t all be like some of the ancients, with amazing tombs and carved columns describing their life and times. There’s just not enough room in the average graveyard or on the average tombstone.
I’ve read about some fun epitaphs on tombstones, and I’ve also seen gravestones that say, “Loving wife and mother,” and you know there’s got to be more to the person.
I think it would be swell if you could have a QR code that people could scan to get the full scoop. Then you could say, “Mother, grandmother, and so much more!” above the QR code, and people could scan and find out why.
I’ve seen gravestones with ceramic pictures affixed to them. Scanning a QR code onto a tile should be a snap to do. It probably will be outdated in 100 years, so historians won’t have much fun (unless there remained a niche market for the scanning technology); but wouldn’t it be cool to be able to access the past? No hieroglyphic-carved columns necessary.
