Newsroom — Scan2Remember

Resources for journalists covering grief tech, deathcare, and memorial technology. Everything below is on the record. For interviews, high-resolution images, or a live demo memorial you can scan, use the media contact at the bottom of this page.

The one-line

Scan2Remember makes a weatherproof QR memorial plaque that mounts on a headstone, bench, or urn. Scan it with any phone and you reach a full digital memorial — photos, video, a voicemail, written tributes. No app to download. The plaque is a one-time purchase; the digital memorial is free to create and the family owns it, with optional Plus and Pro upgrades the family can choose later.

What it is

• Product: a small, durable QR plaque linking to a digital memorial page the family builds.
• Model: one-time hardware purchase; the memorial is free to create, with optional Plus/Pro upgrades. The family keeps and controls the page — the free plan keeps it live at no cost, and upgrading is always the family's choice.
• The frame that matters — preservation, not resurrection: Scan2Remember surfaces the real artifacts a person left behind — their actual voice, handwriting, and photos. It does not use AI to generate new words or video of the deceased. It is a sensitive complement to the memorial, and an honest counterpoint to the griefbot and deepfake debate rather than a participant in it.

Why it's a story now

• Grief-support tech is the fastest-growing slice of a ~$150B+ death-care market. The grief-counseling market alone is projected to grow from ~$1.5B (2024) to ~$2.8B (2033), ~7.5% CAGR (Market Data Forecast). Death Care Services overall: ~$107B (2024) → ~$193B (2033).
• The category is splitting: AI avatars and griefbots on one end (expensive, ethically loaded); low-tech preservation on the other (growing fast, under-covered). Scan2Remember is the affordable, no-lock-in corner of the second.
• Adjacent signals the beat is hot: Empathy raised $47M (Series B, 2024) for AI-assisted bereavement; a 2025 Munich case saw 1,000+ unauthorized QR stickers appear on graves (AP) — evidence the demand is real, and a clean contrast for a sanctioned, durable plaque done right.

Founder & origin story

Scan2Remember was built from a very personal place. After experiencing loss, I realized how limited traditional memorials are — a name and dates don't truly capture a person's life. I wanted to create something that lets families preserve memories in a deeper, more meaningful way — photos, videos, stories — all accessible in a simple, physical way at the grave. What started as a small idea quickly resonated. Today, thousands of families use Scan2Remember to turn grief into a living memory.
