How Long Does It Take to Set Up a QR Memorial Plaque?
From placing the order to the first QR code scan at the graveside — here is how long each step takes and what you can prepare in advance.
One of the most common questions before ordering is: how long until everything is ready? It is a practical and important question — especially when you want the plaque in place for an anniversary or a memorial gathering. The short answer: the plaque is made within 3–5 business days, and delivery then takes 1–3 business days within Romania and around 3–7 business days to other European Union countries. Here is the detailed breakdown.
Step 1: Placing the Online Order — 5 Minutes
Placing an order on lifemory.eu takes a few minutes. You choose the product, enter the delivery address and pay securely online by card. You receive a confirmation by email straight away.
- Choosing the product: 2-3 minutes
- Filling in the delivery form: 1-2 minutes
- Secure online payment: 1-2 minutes
- Automatic email confirmation: instant
Step 2: Making the Plaque — 3–5 Business Days
Every Lifemory plaque is made to order. The QR code is unique, generated and linked to your memorial page. Production and quality checks take 3–5 business days from order confirmation.
Step 3: Delivery — Depending on the Country
Once dispatched, the plaque is delivered free of charge by courier to Romania and every other EU member state — we do not ship outside the European Union. The times below are estimates, counted in business days from dispatch.
- Romania: 1–3 business days
- European Union: 3–7 business days
- Free delivery
Step 4: Creating the Memorial Page — 10-15 Minutes
You can create the memorial page before receiving the plaque — in fact, we recommend it. That way, when the plaque arrives, the page is already ready. The QR code on the plaque will automatically link to your page once activated.
- Create your Lifemory account (free)
- Add photos and basic information
- Invite family members to contribute
- Activate the QR code when you receive the plaque — one single click
Step 5: Installing at the Graveside — 10-15 Minutes
The plaque is fixed with a special outdoor adhesive, suitable for granite or marble, without drilling. No professional is needed. Follow the adhesive's instructions — it usually sets in about 24 hours.
- Clean the surface of dust or moisture
- Apply adhesive to the back of the plaque
- Press the plaque into the desired position
- Leave 24 hours for the adhesive to set
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the entire process take from order to first scan?
Making the plaque takes 3–5 business days. Delivery then takes an estimated 1–3 business days within Romania and 3–7 business days to other European Union countries. Activating the code takes a few minutes, and you can create the memorial page in parallel while you wait.
Can I receive the plaque sooner?
We do not offer a paid priority delivery option: every order is made within 3–5 business days and delivered free of charge. If you have an important date coming up, we recommend ordering early and allowing for the delivery time to your country.
Can I create the memorial page before receiving the plaque?
Yes, and we actually recommend it. The memorial page is independent of the plaque. Once you receive the plaque, you activate it with a simple click and the QR code becomes active.
What if the plaque arrives damaged?
The plaque is specially packaged for transport. If it arrives damaged, we will replace it immediately, at no additional cost. Simply photograph the damage and send it to us by email.
It is best to order in good time — not the day before a memorial gathering, when every day counts. The plaque is made within 3–5 business days and delivery time depends on the country; meanwhile, the memorial page can be built step by step.
