I am seeking information to see if have some made to add to headstones. How much information can a three inch by three inc square hold ? 12 words with spaces? Pictures ? 30 spaced words ?

Typically, a QR code would link to a website, and there you could put all the words you like. Your idea is interesting by the way. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

A QR code can hold 4000 characters of text, I believe. There are some free QR generators out there but if you were going to do something as permanent as putting it on a headstone, I think you would want to have a website that the QR code links to. But a free text QR could be like this, which I just generated from some free generator. You should get a message when you scan with your phone.

My idea is to include 12 or fifteen blood relatives names and perhaps their birth and death dates. For genealogy purposes. And if space permits some pictures. Of them. But I didn't know about website linking. Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

For a headstone, I'd want to think ahead to how the elements are going to degrade the QR & that it would eventually no longer work if it the degradation makes it too difficult for a cell camera to scan. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

I would put something like "This space available for advertising." in the QR code. But I like this idea. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Umm. They’re very handy for giving out contact info at conferences… I should probably put some up in my stores. Personally, I think graveyards would be better off as parks. Put small stone markers up at the relevant places, and let the trees and bushes etc reclaim the nutrients. I’d rather see them as private parks for heirs to enjoy/play in for awhile than as some locked away chunk of land. No marker needs to last past 100 years. No one really has a reason to care where someone was buried that long ago. | |||

I don't know. I was early to pick up a friend not long ago so pulled into a cemetery and drove through slowly, reading some names on headstones. There were a few that I wondered about. Having access to information instantly would have been interesting. Not careless. To go even further back than 100 yrs. would be cool. The gravel street I grew up on the corner of was named after a family in the area. I still run into their kin. I sort of know their ancestral tree but to be able to see it from the beginning from when the first family came to the area would interesting. I guess I'm getting older. | |||

There are many dozens of extremely interesting people in Oakland Cemetery. Some have considerable historic lives ,stories trials and significance. ( i.m.o.) https://www.icgov.org/governme...ion/oakland-cemetery If I win the lottery,I might very well hire six or eight qualified people to go through and Q.R. the good stories and the interesting ones.
