So now cemetery headstones can be connected to the internet!

“Each headstone has a brick with a QR code. If you have a smarthphone, all you have to do is put your phone over the QR code and voila! Up pops scads of information about the “resident” of the cemetery. These may be the only cemeteries in North America where each and every resident is identified in this way. Quite extraordinary when you think about it.”

    Strange concept. I can envisage genealogists loving it and a lot of opposition from everyone else.

      I also have mixed feelings – even as an amateur genealogist!

    Wow! I was in shock about this idea! But historians, and geneologists will love it!

      I have mixed feelings – we don’t usually hang out at cemeteries just to ponder the previous lives of the dead. There are times, though, a unique headstone will catch our attention.

        Weel, true, but I’m still a little creeped out!
