Japanese gravestone maker Ishi no Koe ("Voice of the Stone") is going to sell gravestones with embedded two-dimensional bar codes called QR code (common in Japan).

When scanned with a QR capable cell phone, visitors can view pictures, video and other information about the deceased: Link – via Tokyo Mango

    That is crazy, I love it. When I die tomorrow I want that to be my grave stone.

    That’s like having a betamax video tape attached to your tombstone. What a waste of money.

    Assuming anybody wants to actually learn anything about you after you’re gone?

    Wouldn’t it be easier just to inscribe a URL to your Facebook page (since it’s impossible to cancel your account anyways).

    Personally, I want a credit card operated vending machine selling my Autobiography (extra of course for signed copies).
