WHEN loved ones pass and the grief settles, there is little left to hold on to but our memories. Trips to the cemetery to say silent prayers or talk through our thoughts to the special someone who is no longer here to share our days with can offer peace, though lack the connection we seek. Forever Here can offer the chance to keep those memories close through the scan of a QR Code.
Broni Paine, Stacey O’Toole and Heidi van Maaenberg of Forever Here hope to combine technology with personalised memorials of loved ones who have passed to allow their precious memories to be shared over again. Weatherproof QR codes are placed directly on the headstone or urn, to be viewed on a smartphone by visitors wandering through the cemetery or watched when you visit your loved one’s grave site.
“So many amazing lives are lived and their stories are kept in draws. Why not share their stories and let history live on visually,” said Heidi van Maaenberg.
Generations to come will be able to play a visual presentation of the individual’s accomplishments, preserving history as it is, forever.
