QR codes for memorial cards, funeral programs and tributes
A printed memorial card can only hold a few lines and one photo. A small, quiet code opens a page with a life story, more photos and a place for friends to share memories, for people who want to look.
Details change in the days before a service. Because the code is dynamic, you can print the programs once and update the page they open if a time or place changes.
This is a dynamic QR code: $3 once, and you can change where it points at any time without reprinting. How that works
What should a memorial QR code link to?
Link to a tribute page, a photo gallery, a livestream link for those who cannot attend, or the details of the service and reception. Keep it simple and gentle to read.
- Keep the code small and unobtrusive, with a short line such as "Photos and memories".
- Make sure the page loads easily for older relatives on an older phone.
Is it appropriate to put a QR code on a funeral program?
Many families do, and it can be a kind way to share more than a page can hold. If you are unsure, add it on the back and keep the front traditional.
Will the code last for years?
A dynamic code keeps working as long as our site runs, and we commit to at least 90 days' notice before any shutdown. For something people keep for years, also print the web address as text, and consider downloading the photos yourself.
