If only there was a document which a person could prepare when they were alive, that could give guidance as to their wishes when they were dead.

If only it weren't a fraction of people who bothered. Kids? People without beneficiaries? Homeless? Working class who won't bother? etc etc etc....
It's very VERY rare that people (of any background) bother to define exactly what informatin they would like to be public after their deaths.....

Ooooh, horror movie territory right here. Person scans random headstone QR and downloads the angry ghost of a serial killer.
That's copyrighted, folks.

Have you actually defined (in any official way) exactly what you would like to be made public about yourself after your own death?
Soldato
That's brilliant.
I have to agree. That would be very interesting. And just imagine the business possibilities that could pop up in conjunction with it i.e. companies providing the info on the deceased loved one.

QR codes with a biography of the person and video memories would be awesome and people would go for it I think.
I vote yes, I am in.
QR codes could be used for absolutly anything where data is concerned!

I've actually paused the TV during a Syfy advert because I spotted one.
Thought it might lead to some sort of secret competition or something but it just goes straight to the syfy website
I've considered putting a QR code on my business cards, just not sure if it'll work properly with the style I want.

I can just see the Obituaries column converting to a grid of QR codes, that is if they can work out the intractable issue of how to write an Obituary in the absence of express wishes from the deceased

I can't say I've ever heard of anyone deceased asking for an obituary, it's normally the family of the deceased that contact the papers, at least in our area it's that way.

Yes, mine would redirect to something grotesque.

No idea, hadn't given it that much thought. I'd imagine it would be a service requested in a will...pretty sure the Co-Op would want quids in on it

A friend of mine put one in the corner of his CV, links to his linkdin profile.

This is an excellent idea.
Soldato
Got him a job lol. Well not just the QR code, I guess the actual CV, qualifications, experience and interview technique had a slight effect.

I've one on mine directing to a website which acts almost like a rolling portfolio of my latest projects.
