Digital portal to the past helps remember loved ones

Families will be able to access a digital history of their loved ones with the launch of a unique tribute service that opens a portal to the past.

Building on the traditional online dedications and memorials, Hertfordshire based, Your Loving Memory, has gone a step further with a resource designed for the digital age.

Its unique features – including embedded QR codes on a headstone – are designed to appeal to a younger, more tech-savvy generation.

Paul Fegan, managing director, said: “It is a disturbing thought that the majority of what we know and experience in our lives is lost when we die.

“I want us to be able to provide an alternative that allows future generations to be able to easily take a look into the past to learn about their ancestors.”

The YLM-Tributes platform will be a collaborative space for families and friends to come together to remember the person they love through stories, photos, videos and memories.

Simply by scanning an embedded QR code on a headstone or plaque, users will instantly open a portal to a tribute of the person it is dedicated to, enabling a park bench to tell a story or a place of remembrance to revive the history of a person’s achievements.

“I created a digital tribute for my father David to preserve his memory, I didn’t want to condemn his life to a photo album and a few cine-films tucked away in the loft.

“Now everyone I know and share it with wants one for a family member or friend.

“Our team will liaise with customers to create a fitting tribute with images, videos, poems and memories. And you don’t need to wait until someone has passed before starting to build up the content.
