What a Premium QR Code Medallion Is

A premium QR code medallion is a small marker that brings a person’s whole story to the place they rest. It mounts on a headstone, monument, urn or memorial bench, and contains a scannable code with a portrait of your loved one, so it reads as a QR code grave marker with a photo rather than a plain plate. A quick scan opens an online tribute filled with photographs and milestones. At Chapel of the Chimes, the medallion becomes part of something larger: a permanent tribute set within a place built to honor life and legacy.

— How We Walk With You

A Premium Memorial Medallion

Every detail of a premium memorial medallion lasts and feels personal. Here’s what sets the premium version apart, and how our team helps you put it together.

A Portrait and a Code in One Marker

The premium medallion places a portrait of your loved one beside the scannable code, so a marker becomes a photo. Visitors recognize the person before they ever lift their phone. It’s the difference between a name on stone and a presence. It’s the reason families choose a QR code grave marker with a photo over a plain plate.

A Lasting Finish

A premium medallion is built to stay legible season after season, outdoors and inside. The finish is chosen for durability and for dignity, so the tribute lasts for years to come. Our team will walk you through the finishes and mounting options that suit the marker you have, or the one you’re planning.

The Online Memorial

The QR code opens a fuller story than any marker can hold. The online memorial can include photographs, video, a written life story and the obituary, ready for family to read and add to. It becomes a gathering place for generations, and a way for grandchildren to meet someone they never had the chance to know.

Where It Can Be Placed

A premium medallion is adapted to where your family already plans to remember: a headstone, a flat marker, a monument, an urn or a memorial bench. If you’re placing a tribute on a mausoleum or need a larger format, our oversized QR code medallion is designed for that scale. Either way, our team handles the fit and the placement.
