The “VIDSTONE Serenity Panel” adds a 7″ LCD Panel “that may be attached to almost any upright or slanted gravesite monument”. The manufacturer says “it features a 5-8 minute photo slideshow detailing the most precious memories of your loved one’s life.”

On the technical side of things, the Vidstone is solar and battery powered (requires 4hrs minimum to maintain power), includes (2) standard headphone jacks (no speakers) on the flush-mount, “tamper resistant” weatherproof enclosure.

I have a few thoughts about this product.
My initial reaction is “T-A-C-K-Y”. But then I wonder, would some families really appreciate this? Perhaps I am criticizing too soon.
Photo montages and memorial videos are a rapidly growing aspect of the video industry, so perhaps this is just a natural extension of that service.

Regardless of the product’s viability or level of class, the LCD, playback components, and solar panel seem like a prime target for thieves. The term “grave robbers” takes on a whole new aspect, eh? Think about it; cemetaries are a fairly low-traffic environment, generally not under surveillance, and not a nighttime hotspot. I wonder how easily the LCD could be removed from a headstone…
