Deathly Dame

The blog of an aspiring Funeral Director/Embalmer. So anything I post will most likely be related to death and funerals in some way. I am really random tough so expect random goodness of things I love as well. I'll be enrolling in Funeral Science classes next year after my husband finishes college. I do use a queue so don't feel bad if I'm posting but not answering your questions immediately. I will answer them as soon as I can. Feel free to ask me anything.

The Art of Dead

[deathlydame]

elephantsandgold:

The practice of embalming

Must add splendor to the tedium of death

The idea that something 

Still

Is worth preserving

Tickles the heart-string

And rewinds 

All our fatalistic inclinations.

To her, 

it is not a dead art

but a ritual of life,

not to be disturbed by modern

sensibility nor contemporary

death denial.

I don't even care that this was more than likely made for kids. It was pretty awesome.

QR code graves give a “Memorial Window”

With all of the QR codes in Japan it takes a good concept to really make us notice it these days.

Memorial stone maker Ishinokoe (Voice of the Stone) of Yamanashi Prefecture will soon begin producing grave stones with QR codes embedded in them. They are calling the concept Kuyou no Mado, roughly meaning “Memorial Service Window”, as visitors can scan the code with their mobiles and get information on the deceased.

Contents can include pictures, video, family information, and other items. While using a QR code for this may actually seem a bit outdated in a country of burgeoning RFID technology, they are simple and will likely be readable by generations of future devices. The sample QR code below is readable if you have a capable phone, but you can also check it out with this link.
