Memory Medallion: "With the Memory Medallion, now tombstones can upload photos too.
The Memory Medallion is a metal disc, about the size of a half-dollar, designed to be embedded into a tombstone. It contains a microchip that stores photos and text of the deceased.
When someone visits a tombstone, they open the lid on the Memory Medallion, and touch it with a special wand. The wand activates the medallion, and causes its to upload data through the wand, and into a handheld computer or laptop.
The wand resembles a stylus, except it has a wire connecting it to the visitor's computer, via USB port. Once the wand touches the Memory Medallion, the data transmitted instantly. Special software installed on the computer allows the visitor to see someone's lifestory and photos.
The data remains in the computer for as long as the visitor wants, and can take it home, to build their family tree, or make scrapbooks.
The Memory Medallion is not just for tombstones though. They can be used with historical markers, museum exhibits, zoos, the possibilities are endless.
Memory Medallion is the product of Greene Ventures, Inc. They are sold exclusively through Rock of Ages."
