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 exactly how long each step takes and how you can speed up the process.
One of the most common questions before ordering is: how long until everything is ready? It's a practical and important question — especially when you want the plaque ready for an anniversary, a memorial service, or All Saints' Day. The short answer: 5-10 days from order. 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, fill in the delivery address, and complete the payment (card or transfer). You receive immediate confirmation by email.
- 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: Plaque Production — 1-2 Business Days
Each Lifemory plaque is produced to order. The QR code is unique, generated and linked specifically to your memorial page. Production and quality verification takes 1-2 business days.
Step 3: Delivery — 2-5 Business Days
Delivery within Europe takes on average 3-5 business days after dispatch from production.
- UK & Ireland: 3-5 business days
- Central Europe (Germany, France, Italy etc.): 3-5 business days
- Other countries: please contact us
- Free delivery across Europe
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 comes with everything needed for installation: special ceramic adhesive for granite or marble surfaces, and clear instructions. No professional needed. The adhesive cures in 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?
On average 5-8 business days: 1-2 days production + 3-5 days delivery (Europe) + a few minutes activation. The memorial page can be created in parallel during delivery.
Is there an express delivery option?
Yes, for urgent situations (upcoming memorial service, approaching anniversary) contact us at [email protected] and we will find a priority delivery solution.
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.
The best time to order is now — not the day before a memorial service, when every day counts. With 5-8 days from order to installation, you can be prepared for any commemorative moment. And the memorial page can be built in parallel, step by step.
