Cork trio's enduring idea — headstone QR codes paint picture of deceased's life

The 'The Story Of' venture is the brainchild of pals Judie Russell, Luke Murphy and Danny O’Donovan, who met through UCC's Entrepreneurial Network

Three young entrepreneurs have set up a business that can place QR codes — like barcodes for phones — on headstones which, once scanned by the phone's camera, will link straight to a specially created memorial webpage which tells the life-story of the deceased in words, pictures and video.

We normally use our phones to connect with the living but now we can use them in cemeteries to connect with our dearly departed.
