To keep the memory of their son alive, the parents of Dr. Ivin Francis have placed a QR code on his tombstone. Anyone who scans the QR code will be taken to a specially designed web-page, which has videos of Ivin giving musical performances or playing sports. Ivin was only 26 years old when he passed away in 2021 after collapsing while playing badminton. Despite his rigorous medical school education, he never gave up his passion for music and sports. Ivin was known to create profiles of people accessible via QR codes, so his parents decided to create one for him too. The idea of placing a QR code on Ivin's tombstone came from his sister, who created the website in just ten days. According to Francis, when people visit Ivin's grave, there won't be anyone there to tell them about Ivin's life, but by scanning the QR code, they can get to know the kind of person he was.
