The inspiration for AnamnisisQR began with a deeply personal loss—my father’s sudden passing when he was just fifty years old. He died while on a vacation, far from home, and the shock of losing him left me devastated. For years, I struggled to cope with his absence, missing his laughter, wisdom, and the warmth of his embrace.
In Cyprus and Greece, where I come from, burial traditions are sacred. Gravesites serve as places of memory and reflection, honoring the lives of those who have passed.
However, I noticed something was missing. While many graves are adorned with inscriptions and photos, it feels incomplete—like there is more to be shared.
The idea struck me: what if we could use technology to keep the essence of a person alive, even after they’re gone? By incorporating QR codes on gravestones, we could offer a richer way to remember and celebrate the lives of our loved ones. This realization was my way of honoring my father’s memory, ensuring that his legacy continues to inspire and bring joy, even to those who never knew him.
With AnamnisisQR, I found a way to keep my father close, to feel his love and guidance even in his absence. Now, his grandchildren, who never had the chance to meet him, can feel his spirit woven into their lives by simply scanning a code.
AnamnisisQR is more than just a link to memories; it’s a bridge between past and present, a testament to the enduring power of love and innovation. Our mission is to ensure that the stories of our loved ones live on, accessible to everyone, forever.
QR codes are everywhere – why not in cemeteries, attached to tombstones or even at home? Our mission is to ensure that the memory of our loved ones remains alive, not only in our hearts but also in the digital world, accessible to everyone.
