Finding a grave.
Rediscovering a life.

REQUIEM-Memory links a grave to the memory of the person who rests there. A QR code at the cemetery entrance or on the stone opens their biography, their memory book, their family ties and their military record.

The app

Search, read, remember

Searching for a grave in the app, shown in French: a few letters typed, three results, each followed by a “Localiser” (locate) button.
Demonstration record: the names are fictitious.
A military grave page in the app, shown in French: Thomas Brown Macgregor, died on 28 September 1915 aged 24, a soldier of the Cameron Highlanders, at Ninth Avenue Cemetery in Haisnes.
A civilian grave page in the app, shown in French: name, dates and location, then the biography, the family tree and the “Voir le cahier de souvenirs” (open the memory book) button.
Demonstration record: the names are fictitious.

Search

From the cemetery entrance, search for a name and know where to go: the row, the number, the way to the stone.

Read

Dates, a trade, a war lived through, photographs. For those who served, the service number and the regiment.

Remember

Leave a photograph or a few lines in the memory book. It stays open: the family adds to it over time.

Three ways in

Depending on where you come from

For families

Find a grave, bring together what is known about a person, and pass it on to those who will come after.

For municipalities

Make a cemetery readable without touching the stones. One QR code at the entrance, and every visitor finds what they are looking for on their own.

For veterans’ associations

Tie an engraved name to a life, a regiment, a date. The tributes that the rain washes away, the QR code keeps.

The origin

The project was born of a grave that could not be found, in a cemetery in Houdain, and of military tributes that the rain washes away in the Commonwealth cemeteries of northern France.
