NFC Pet Memorial Cards: How They Work

How NFC Memorial Tags Work

NFC (Near Field Communication) allows a physical tag or card to open an online memorial page when tapped with a smartphone.

Step by Step

• **Receive your keepsake** —Personalized with your pet's name and dates
• **Tap with phone** —Hold your smartphone near the NFC chip
• **Memorial page opens** —View photos, videos, story, and messages
• **QR code backup** —Scan the QR code if NFC isn't available

Carbon Fiber Tag vs Memorial Card

Both include full access to your online pet memorial page.

What You Can Include

Photos, videos, name, dates, story, family messages, favorite memories, and an optional guestbook.

Common Questions

• **Do I need an app?** No — modern phones open the page directly after a tap or QR scan.
• **Can I update the page later?** Yes — photos and memorial text can be updated; the NFC/QR link stays the same.
• **NFC or QR?** Both open the same page. See our full comparison: [NFC vs QR code for pet memorials](/blog/nfc-vs-qr-code-pet-memorial).
