Just had this thought and I'm caught between the two. Assuming anything being considered were all "good" photos, what would you prefer if it were you?

*Lots of great responses! I do want to clarify that I am not currently dealing with this scenario myself, but I appreciate the thoughtful comments. Hopefully they can help people that are struggling. I know I'll keep them in mind for the future.

just noting that people have started putting QR codes on tombstones that direct to a collection/directory of multimedia photos videos audio, notes etc. i think its a great use.

A tombstone should last for centuries, but a QR code depends on a URL that might not last 5 years.

Either the QR code should be on a swappable card, or needs to point at a domain controlled by the family like RememberingJoeSmith.com

How long do you think Joe Smith's family is going to maintain that site, given that it costs real money?

(Yes, there's a joke about the dead visiting graves, but I chose to ignore it)
