Not for me.. I'm requesting a Silver Birch Tree in a natural burial site

I know what you mean HPQ. I don’t like them either, find them creepy.

This isn't particularly new and it has it's place for those that want to share the deceased's history. I assume you could create the QR code yourself at no cost. I've seen similar on memorial benches where it can contribute greatly to local history.

Not for me thanks. I find the gravestones with photographs of the deceased disturbing too, they are a reminder that there once was a living, breathing person who is now by your feet. I may not have described this very well,sorry.

Sounds ghoulish - and I would worry about the motives of those accessing them and what they might do with the information they would get from such a device.

I wouldn't like that for all the world to see! But then I'm being cremated so irrelevant.

Absolutely no way. I have my own memories of my parents and also photos, as do our children. These memories and pictures are private, not for general viewing.

No. I believe in "Rest in Peace"

Not in the least appealing to me. Mr i is buried in a woodland remembrance garden near our home. It’s so peaceful with no technology, just the occasional rabbit or deer

Not for me, thanks.

I have just seen an ad for this. It’s a small medallion with a QR code which you can attach to a gravestone, and people can view footage of the deceased. I’m not sure I like the idea, what do you think?
