Memorial Ideas – Gravestone Technology

Technology Enhanced Memorials

In many cases, memorials and grave markers are the last remaining reference to those that have gone before us. Gravestone Technology can enhance such markers and are a unique and excellent memorial idea.  Historically, these markers convey the traditional name and date along with an epitaph, which may conflict with a desire for simple elegance and engraving cost constraints.

Due to advances in microchip technology the family can now associate detailed text and photo with a memorial from the pre-installed technology that may occupy as little as 60mm (2.25”) diameter of space. The resulting capability will allow future generations, visitors and historians to access both a story and genealogical information about the deceased from an internet enabled cell phone while at the markers physical location.

Technology enhanced memorial products are purchased both by the living and the family of those that have passed. Such products serve as a personal genealogical artifact with a service life that may exceed thousands of years.

“I think that when you walk by a gravestone and only see things like a few words or a name and a date, it can be somewhat cold, impersonal and almost incomplete… This gravestone is supposed to tell the story of a person and provide that connection of emotional remembrance.”–Christopher Hill, Founder FuneralResources.com
