Japanese gravestone company Ishinokoe is selling tombstones emblazoned with barcodes, specifically QR codes that can be scanned with a mobile phone camera. Scanning the code brings up a Web site on the phone's browser with photos, text, and videos of the deceased individual. The company can add a QR code to an existing stone for around 200,000 yen (US$2000). From KOFU:

those QR codes are freaking cool. Only the Japanese phones and network can use it. Most of their merchandise and ads have the QR codes for their camera phones to snap a pic and automatically get more info via the internet about that product/service.
