A Modern Way to Honour and Remember Your Loved One
Memorials are changing, and families across New Zealand are looking for meaningful ways to share the stories, photos, and memories that shaped their loved one’s life. Our Memorial QR Code Services allow you to add a discreet, beautifully crafted QR code to a headstone or plaque, giving visitors instant access to an online tribute page when they scan the code with their phone.
It is a thoughtful, modern addition that lets you honour your loved one with more detail than a traditional inscription can hold, while keeping the physical memorial elegant and timeless.

What Is a Memorial QR Code?
A memorial QR code is a small, durable plaque or engraving placed directly on a headstone, base, or memorial plaque. When scanned, it opens a personalised digital page created specially for your loved one.
This page can include:
- A written life story
- Photo galleries
- Videos or recorded messages
- Music or favourite hymns
- Family tree information
- Messages from loved ones
- Information about the unveiling or future remembrance events
It offers a meaningful blend of tradition and technology—allowing future generations to connect with their family history in a personal and accessible way.
Why Families Choose a QR Code Memorial
Families choose to include a memorial QR code because it helps:
- Share their loved one’s story more fully than a headstone inscription alone
- Keep memories alive for younger generations who may not have met the person
- Preserve family history with photos, videos, and written tributes
- Create a private or password-protected space for messages and memories
- Bring together families overseas, including Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, the Philippines, China, and other communities with whānau across the world
It’s a simple addition that adds incredible depth and connection to a memorial.
How Your QR Memorial Page Works
We create a beautiful, secure memorial webpage for your loved one that can be accessed anytime. This page can include:
- Biography or life story
- Service details
- Photo and video galleries
- Cultural or religious elements
- Favourite quotes or scriptures
- Guestbook or message wall
- Links to family contacts or future events
You can update the page at any time by contacting our team.
Durable, Long-Lasting QR Plaques
Your QR code can be:
- Laser-engraved directly into granite
- Engraved onto a stainless-steel or aluminium plate
- Printed onto a long-lasting porcelain tile
- Added as a small plaque to an existing headstone
All materials are chosen for weatherproof durability, ensuring the QR code remains scannable for decades.
Our Memorial QR Code Service Process
Our team builds a personalised memorial page based on the photos, text, and stories you provide. You will have the option to choose:
- Public or private access
- Password protection
- The layout and general look of the page
Once your page is live, we create the physical QR code plaque or engraving using durable, long-lasting materials that suit your headstone.
We can install the QR code during the creation of a new headstone or add it to an existing memorial.
Can a QR Code Be Added to an Existing Headstone?
Yes. Our team can install a small, matching plaque on most existing granite headstones, plaques, or bases. This is a popular option for families who want to update or modernise an older memorial.
A Meaningful Connection for Future Generations
Adding a QR code to a memorial is a simple way to expand the story behind the stone—ensuring that younger whānau, future descendants, and friends around the world can always learn about and remember the person who meant so much.
It is a modern memorial option, but one that carries deep respect, connection, and cultural value.
