Lumestone

Where their story lives on

Lumestone turns a headstone into a living memorial. A small engraved plaque, one gentle scan, and everyone who visits can see their photos, hear their voice, and read the story of a life well lived.

Three steps to a living memorial

You order the plaque. We engrave a unique QR code into weatherproof metal and ship it worldwide within 48 hours. While it travels, you build their memorial page: photos, videos, their life story, their song, the recording of their voice you have been afraid to lose. Then you press the plaque onto the headstone, and anyone who visits can scan it with the ordinary camera on their phone. No app to download, no account to make, nothing to explain to a grandchild or a stranger.

The plaque

It is 5 by 5 centimetres, about two inches square, engraved into anodized metal with a champagne-brass rim. The code is cut into the surface rather than printed onto it, which is the difference between a marker that survives twenty winters and one that fades in three summers. The back carries industrial 3M adhesive, already applied, so it goes on in seconds with no drilling and no damage to the stone. It is deliberately quiet: the headstone already carries their name, so the plaque carries only their story.

The memorial page

Most memorial pages look like a form somebody filled in. Ours reads like a portrait. There is a quote to remember them by, a life story laid out along a timeline, their voice, their song, and a place for everyone else to leave what they remember. Unlimited photos and videos, in full quality, with no advertising anywhere near them. You decide whether the page is public or private, and you can change your mind at any time; a private memorial is visible only to the people you invite by email. The whole family can build it together, because more than one person should be allowed to remember out loud.

What it costs

$47.99 for the plaque, once, down from $71.99. Two plaques are $79.99 and three are $111.99, which is what most families choose when one goes on the headstone and one stays at home.

The memorial page is included in that price. Hosting, daily backups, unlimited photos and video and every improvement we ship afterwards are all covered by the single payment: no subscription, no yearly fee, nothing charged per plaque or per page, and nothing that can lapse because a card expired.

Every order carries a 30-day money-back guarantee and ships worldwide for a flat $4.90.

Questions people ask first

Do visitors need an app?
No. Any phone camera opens it in the browser.
Am I allowed to put one on a headstone?
It attaches without drilling, but cemeteries set their own rules. Ask the office and get the answer in writing. Our guide to cemetery rules includes an email you can send.
What happens if Lumestone disappears?
A fair question, and one we answer rather than dodge: you would get long notice and a full export of everything you uploaded. We wrote about the wider pattern honestly in what happens if a memorial website shuts down.
