Memorial QR plaques: choosing and sharing a keepsake
A QR plaque connects a keepsake or a place of remembrance to a digital story. Scanning the code with a phone opens a profile containing photos, videos and tributes.
What the QR code opens
The plaque does not store the entire memorial or its photographs. Its QR code points to an online profile. New memories can therefore be added without engraving a new code. An Internet connection is still required to view the content.
Choose a discreet or a larger format
A 1 × 1 in plaque suits a small space such as a frame or keepsake. A 4 × 4 in plaque offers more room for personalization and a more visible code. Consider the available space, scanning distance and desired appearance. Review product specifications before ordering.
Placing a plaque on an urn or monument
Before attaching anything to an urn, monument or cemetery property, check with its owner or manager. Confirm that the surface and fixing method are suitable with the supplier. Outdoor conditions, maintenance and the material of the surface can all affect installation.
Personalized in Quebec
Empreinte Vie plaques use anodized aluminum and are prepared and engraved in Quebec. Depending on the product and available options, personalization may include a name, dates, a short message, an image and a QR style. A birch QR cube offers another way to keep the profile link in a tangible object at home.
Review privacy before sharing
A QR code is easy to share. Choose profile visibility with its location in mind: a keepsake in a family living room and a publicly accessible monument have different audiences. Protected profiles keep their access restrictions when opened through a QR code.
Prepare and check your order
Review names, dates and text before confirming personalization. Check the associated profile and test the code with a phone when the object arrives. If you are unsure about sizes, contact the team. Current pricing explains the available packages and included digital profile.
