Graves With A 'Memorial Window'


Memorial Japanese stone maker Ishinokoe will soon begin producing grave stones with QR codes embedded in them.
They are calling the concept Kuyou no Mado, roughly meaning 'Memorial Service Window,' as visitors can scan the code with their mobiles and get information on the deceased.

Contents can include pictures, video, family information, and other items. While using a QR code for this may actually seem a bit outdated in a country of burgeoning RFID technology, they are simple and will likely be readable by generations of future devices.
