QR Wall vs Our Tributes: A Guest Book You Read Once, or a Wall Everyone Watches Together?

QR Wall is a better fit when

• ✓ A screen or projector will be part of the service
• ✓ You want everyone to share the memories together, in the room
• ✓ Photos matter as much as written condolences
• ✓ The family wants to download every photo and message afterward
• ✓ You want manual approval or AI moderation before anything shows
• ✓ You would rather start free and cancel after the service

Our Tributes is a better fit when

• ✓ You specifically want a guest book format — a page of condolences
• ✓ No screen will be used at the venue
• ✓ A standing online tribute page is the goal, rather than the service itself
• ✓ Written memories matter more than a shared visual moment

Replacing the paper guest book with something everyone can write in is a genuinely good idea — Our Tributes does that simply and well.

Is QR Wall a good Our Tributes alternative?

It depends on what you want the memories to do. As of July 2026, Our Tributes replaces the paper funeral guest book — memories, condolences, and photos are collected on a tribute page the family reads. QR Wall collects the same contributions and also shows them live on a screen during the service, so everyone watches the tribute grow together, and the family keeps every photo and message afterward.

What is the difference between a digital guest book and a live memory wall?

A digital guest book gathers condolences and photos onto a page that is read later, usually by the family and usually once. A live memory wall shows each photo and message on a projector or TV during the service itself, so the whole room shares the moment a memory arrives. QR Wall does both: the wall is live during the service, and everything is kept in one gallery afterward.

Does QR Wall also work as a digital guest book?

Yes. Every message and photo shared to the wall is saved in one place. On the Premium and Professional tiers the family can download the full collection as a single archive and share a private gallery link with relatives who could not attend — the same role a guest book plays, with photos alongside the words.

Can people who cannot attend the funeral still contribute?

Yes, with both tools. Our Tributes hosts memories on an online tribute page. With QR Wall, anyone with the link or QR code can add a photo and a message from anywhere, and it appears on the same wall shown at the service — so distant relatives are part of the room, not a separate page.

How do we keep the tone respectful on a live screen?

QR Wall lets you turn on manual approval, so every photo and message waits for a one-tap approval on your phone before it reaches the screen. The Professional tier adds AI moderation that filters inappropriate text and images automatically. The Memorial display theme — a quiet ivory-and-sage palette with a slower pace — keeps the wall feeling like part of the service.

What does QR Wall cost for a memorial?

You can start free — the free tier displays the most recent submissions and suits a small gathering. Premium ($10.99/month) unlocks unlimited photos and messages, the Memorial theme, and the downloadable keepsake, and can be cancelled right after the service. There is no long-term commitment.
