How to Generate a QR Code for a Headstone

A QR code links a headstone to the digital memory. You can generate it right in the memorial editor.

Where to get the code

In the memorial editor, click "QR code" — the service creates a code that leads to the memory page and shows the link beneath it. The code can be downloaded as an image for printing. It's best to do this after the page is published.

Where to place it

You can print the code and order a plaque made of stainless steel or ceramic — resistant to rain, frost, and sun. It is fixed near the headstone or right on it. Paper stickers aren't suitable outdoors — they deteriorate quickly.

If the link changes

In Pomni, a QR code can be redirected to a new page later — without having to replace the physical plaque. This guards against a situation where the code "leads nowhere." The memory will remain accessible for many years.

Check before ordering

Before ordering the plaque, scan the code with your phone and make sure it opens the right page. Check that it reads clearly at different lighting and sizes. This saves you from having to redo it.

  • Steel or ceramic — for outdoors.
  • The code can be redirected without replacing the plaque.
  • Test the scan before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Will the QR code still work many years from now?
Yes, as long as the page exists; and if the link changes, the code can be redirected without changing the plaque.
Is internet needed to scan it?
Yes, the QR opens an online memory page, so the phone needs network access.
