2021: Launch of data storage service for the dead in Russia

In early June 2021, it became known about the launch of the Memory Code service in Russia, which collects information about the dead and creates relevant Internet pages. The platform allows you to place a QR code with access to the page with information about the drowned on the tombstone, on a stainless metal plate.

The developers of the service listed three main steps in working with it:

• Choose the format of the memory page - short, extended or related burial - and register on the site.
• Populate memory page. To post a full biography, with photos and videos, you need to select and pay for the "Extended Page."
• Get a sign with a QR code to place it on a monument or columbar plate.

Memory Code service launched in Russia to store data on the deceased

By the beginning of June 2021, the Memory Code offers several tariffs, including free. An option with the maximum possible set of options will cost 16,350 rubles.

In the "Memory Code" you can download a photo, voice recording, video from the family archive of the deceased, memorable text. Such information can be shared with relatives.

We realized that new generations have no desire and opportunity to preserve the memory of their ancestors. People come less and less to visit the departed relatives in the cemetery, photos are smoldering, videos are being erased. How to help new generations preserve memory - a problem that we solve, - reports "Life" with reference to one of the founders of the project Roman Boldyrev.

Abroad, there are also projects of "digital immortality." The largest of them, according to the "Memory Code," was implemented in 2017 in Beijing with the support of the authorities. Local authorities proposed creating a QR code with a memorial page on the departed, with the consent of relatives, for an "environmentally friendly" burial in compact biodegradable urns over which trees, bushes and grass were planted. According to the Memory Code's own data, by the beginning of June 2021, more than 4 thousand people used the service.^[1]
