Highgate Cemetery London

Highgate Cemetery London — QR Memorial Plaque — Lifemory

Highgate Cemetery is one of the most celebrated and atmospheric burial grounds in the world. Established in 1839 on the forested hillside of North London, it quickly became the fashionable resting place for Victorian society. Today, it is home to some of the most striking funerary architecture in Britain — ivy-clad mausoleums, Gothic chapels, the Egyptian Avenue and the Circle of Lebanon, a ring of catacomb vaults beneath a magnificent cedar tree. Karl Marx, George Eliot, Douglas Adams and countless luminaries of art, science and politics rest here among thousands of ordinary Londoners whose stories are equally worthy of remembrance.

Lifemory brings a new dimension to the act of remembrance at Highgate Cemetery. Our Bohemia ceramic QR memorial plaque is fixed to the headstone or memorial structure. When any visitor points their smartphone at the code, they are taken instantly to the dedicated memorial page — a private, beautifully crafted online space filled with photographs, a full biography, key dates and personal tributes from family and friends around the world.

Families from Archway, Crouch End and Muswell Hill who make regular visits to Highgate can deepen the experience of each visit with a single scan. But the memorial page is equally valuable for loved ones who cannot travel — family members living abroad, or the many descendants of those buried here who are scattered across the world, can contribute their own memories and revisit the page at any time of day, on any day of the year.

The Bohemia ceramic plaque from Lifemory is designed for a minimum of 25 years of outdoor use, resisting the damp and frost of an English winter as well as summer UV exposure. The QR code is fired into the glaze and will not fade, peel or wear away. Free delivery to all addresses in the United Kingdom. No monthly fees — a single payment for a permanent memorial.

Visit lifemory.eu to create your free memorial page, upload photographs and stories, and order your plaque. Once placed at Highgate Cemetery, your loved one's story will be just one scan away for everyone who visits this extraordinary place.
