More about our Funeral Live Streaming Service

We take a great deal of care and work respectfully at all times with families, clergy and funeral directors.

It's important for us to be as unobtrusive as possible. Where possible we set up out of sight so others attending may not even realise we are there.

We aim to be in place before guests arrive and will wait a respectful period of time after the service before we leave. We are aware that in some cases there is not much time prior to or after the service. We work with the venue officials to ensure everything we do is compliant with their procedures.

How funeral live streaming can help

Live streaming funeral services has become increasingly important in recent years, offering many advantages for both the bereaved family and those unable to attend in person. One of the most significant benefits is the ability to include loved ones who are geographically distant. In today's interconnected world, families often reside in different cities or even countries, making it challenging for everyone to gather for a funeral. Live streaming allows these individuals to participate in the service, providing comfort and a sense of connection during a difficult time.   

Live streaming provides accessibility for those who may be unable to attend due to illness, disability, or other unforeseen circumstances. It ensures that everyone who wishes to pay their respects can do so, regardless of their location or physical limitations. Additionally, for those who are hesitant to travel or are concerned about the potential spread of illness, live streaming provides a safe and convenient alternative.   

Beyond the practical benefits, live streaming can also offer emotional support. Watching the service together can create a shared experience for those who are grieving, creating a sense of unity and togetherness. The ability to view a download the service at a later time allows individuals to process their grief at their own pace. This can be particularly helpful for those who are struggling to cope with the loss.   

Live streaming funeral services is a valuable tool for supporting families and friends during a challenging time. By bridging geographical distances, accommodating diverse needs, and providing emotional support, this technology offers a compassionate and inclusive way to honour the memory of a loved one.
