High Tech Grave, Japan

It was just a matter of time before the dead got high tech, and Japan is unsurprisingly showing the way. A Japanese grave stone maker has developed grave stones with embedded bar codes in them.

When visitors visit the gravesites of their dead relatives, they can take a picture of the tag with their cell phone, etc. The code records all details of the deceased’s death, and also logs how many times the tag was scanned, so visitors know when other family members last visited the grave site.

The grave maker, Ishi No Koe, thinks the high tech gravestones would be especially useful to young people who might not be able to make the time to actually visit the cemeteries of their relatives.
