A Living Tribute — The Complete Guide

1. The Concept — Why Memorial QR Is Different

Traditional memorials are static. A name, two dates, and stone that never changes. Memorial QR keeps the timeless dignity of a physical plaque, but connects it to a rich digital memorial that can hold a lifetime of stories, photographs, music and video.

Every plaque is paired with a memorial webpage, a digital service card and a digital invite. When someone scans the QR code — at a graveside, in a home, or at a service — they are taken to a page that feels alive: scrolling photographs, music playing gently in the background, and even video in the header. It is designed to move people, not just inform them.

This emotional experience is also what makes it spread. Everyone who attends the funeral, receives the digital invite, or opens the service card is quietly introduced to something new — and realises it will one day be available for them, their own family and their friends.

2. What's Included in Every Memorial

• A beautifully engraved QR plaque in your chosen material — brass, steel, stone, marble, slate or plastic.
• Three plaque styles: QR only, QR with the loved one's name & dates, or QR with name, dates and five special words.
• A fully designed Memorial Website that becomes the loved one's permanent online home.
• A Digital Service Card — a shareable order of service that guests can keep forever.
• A Digital Invite so family and friends can be welcomed to the service and the memorial.
• Boxed, gift-ready packaging for the physical plaque.

3. The Features That Create an Unforgettable Experience

• Scrolling photographs — a rotating gallery of images in the header and throughout the page.
• Background music — a favourite song plays gently behind the header, setting the emotional tone.
• Video headers — bring the header to life with a moving tribute instead of a still image.
• Shaped photo frames — circle, square or rectangle framing with precise positioning and zoom.
• A guided life story (bio) — About, Achievements, Passions and Career sections told beautifully.
• A photo & video gallery with captions, plus visitor photo comments.
• Tributes & condolences — guests can leave messages and memories.
• Favourite songs and a personal video, audio or written message from the family.
• Donation links to chosen charities, external social links, and resting place details.
• A digital service card and downloadable keepsakes for everyone who attends.

4. How It Works — For the Creator

1. 1Choose the plaque: pick the material, plate, colour and plaque style. A live preview updates as you go.
2. 2Add the loved one: enter their name, nickname, dates and a short statement — decide what appears on the plaque and page.
3. 3Design the header: upload photos, add scrolling images, choose background music or a video, and position everything perfectly.
4. 4Build the memorial page: write the life story with guided prompts, add the gallery, tributes, favourite songs and donation links.
5. 5Preview & order: see the finished memorial exactly as visitors will, then check out securely.
6. 6Receive & share: the plaque arrives boxed, the memorial goes live, and the QR code links straight to it. Share the digital invite and service card.
7. 7Keep it living: return any time to add photos, stories and memories — the memorial grows over the years.

5. For the Affiliate — A Purpose-Built Platform for Funeral Directors

Memorial QR isn't a generic referral scheme bolted onto someone else's website. It is a purpose-built platform, designed from the ground up for funeral directors, parlours, celebrants, churches, cemeteries and crematoria. It hands you a brand-new, premium service and product to offer every family you serve — one that deepens the care you already provide, sets you apart from every competitor on your high street, and opens a genuine, recurring new revenue stream without a penny of upfront cost or stock to hold.

For the families in your care, it is a complimentary, thoughtful gift at the hardest of times: a living memorial that keeps their loved one's story alive. For your business, it is a modern, high-margin addition that positions you as the forward-thinking firm that offers something no one else can — while the platform quietly does the marketing for you.

Best of all, you don't just get a link. You get your own bespoke CRM and design suite — a complete back office built for your firm, so you can look after every client, design beautiful tributes on their behalf, and watch your earnings grow, all from one place.

1. 1Join as an affiliate and instantly receive your unique referral code, QR link and access to your CRM and design suite.
2. 2Offer Memorial QR to every family as a complimentary, premium addition to your existing services.
3. 3Design tributes for them or let them create their own — either way, the order is tracked straight to you.
4. 4Manage customers, orders and earnings from your bespoke dashboard, with clear commission on every sale.
5. 5Use the built-in email and social marketing tools to keep growing your reach and revenue.

6. How It Works — For the Visitor

1. 1A visitor scans the QR code on the plaque, or opens a digital invite or service card.
2. 2They arrive at a living memorial — scrolling photos, music and video greet them instantly.
3. 3They explore the life story, gallery, favourite songs and tributes at their own pace.
4. 4They can leave their own tribute, comment on photos, and donate to chosen charities.
5. 5They realise this beautiful tribute is available for their own family and friends — and become the next creator.

7. The Ripple Effect — Marketing Built In

Every memorial is also a quiet ambassador. Guests at a service, recipients of a digital invite, and everyone who opens a service card experience the platform first-hand. That personal, emotional introduction is the most powerful marketing there is — and it works for the affiliate and the platform alike, spreading naturally from family to family.
