The idea of using a QR code on a headstone isn t new, but in this day and age of handheld information at the swipe of a scan, the idea might be ready to make a comeback.
Headstones have been around for thousands of years. The markers were originally designed to help keep the grave from being disturbed by unknowing individuals. It also became a way to memorialize the deceased.

Some of my friends weren t as fortunate as I was and they lost parents along the way who were in service to our country.
