We make one thing, in one place, for one reason.

Cuimhne Code is a small workshop in Westport, Co. Mayo. We make a single product — a QR memorial plaque that opens a private digital memorial — and we make it well.

The story

A headstone is a strange object. It carries everything important about a person on it — their name, the years they walked the earth, often a line of scripture or a few flowers carved into stone. But the rest of who they were — the laugh, the cooking, the way they answered the phone, the photograph from the day on the boat — has nowhere to live except in the memory of the people left behind.

Memory does what memory does. It fades. The photograph goes into a drawer. The story gets told fewer times. The grandchildren born after the funeral never hear it at all.

Cuimhne — the Irish for memory — is the word at the centre of what we do. We make a small plaque, laser-engraved in stainless steel, that fits onto a headstone. When somebody visits the grave and scans the code on the plaque with their phone, they see a memorial page that the family has written. Photographs. A short biography. Stories. The small details that made a life a life.

There is no app to download. No subscription. You pay once for the plaque, and the page lives for as long as we do.

Our promise

We are aware of what we are asking of you: trust that a small Irish business will still be here in twenty years. We take that seriously. Read our promise.

Where and how

Every plaque is engraved by hand in Westport, finished, and posted with An Post the next working day (or, during pre-order, the week of 16 June 2026).

If you ever want to ring us with a question, you can. The same person who answers the phone is the person who engraved your plaque.
