A QR code (Quick Response code) is a type of barcode that can be scanned using a smartphone or QR code reader. When scanned, it instantly directs the user to a specific online location, such as a website, online memorial page, social media account, or any internet page you choose.
Dynamic QR Codes Managed by Mainely Urns
At Mainely Urns, we offer dynamic QR codes, which provide a significant advantage over static QR codes provided by some online memorial companies. With dynamic QR codes, the link destination can be changed even after the QR code has been created and distributed. This flexibility allows you to update the linked content as needed, ensuring that your QR code always directs users to the most current and relevant information.
Applications for QR Codes in Memorials:
Obituaries: Direct users to the obituary on your funeral home's website, providing easy access to service details and remembrances.
Online Memorial Pages: Link the QR code to a dedicated online memorial page where friends and family can share memories, photos, and messages.
Facebook Memorialized Accounts: Connect to a Facebook Memorialized Account to view and post tributes on a loved one’s profile.
Any Internet Page: QR codes can link to any web page you wish, offering flexibility for various uses.
Custom Shapes: QR codes don't have to be squares. They can be in the shape of a heart, tear, paw print, or endless other shapes, adding a personalized touch to the memorial.
How QR Codes Can Be Used:
Engraved on Cremation Urns: QR codes can be engraved directly onto cremation urns, creating a lasting, scannable tribute.
Lasered onto Stainless Steel: Apply QR codes to stainless steel plaques or tags that can be affixed to cemetery grave markers.
On Key Chains: QR codes can be printed or engraved on key chains, allowing loved ones to carry a scannable memorial with them.
Printed on Prayer Cards and Funeral Programs: QR codes can be printed onto prayer cards and funeral programs. Imagine if 150 people sitting in a church could all scan the QR code, linking them directly to the obituary on your funeral home's website. This is particularly useful as many attendees at a funeral may not know which funeral home is providing the services.
Using QR codes in these ways provides a seamless and interactive method for people to access digital memorials and remember their loved ones. With Mainely Urns' dynamic QR codes, you have the added benefit of updating the link destination at any time, ensuring that the memorial remains relevant and current.
