Over 485+ Funerals live Streamed NATIONALLY
Crematorium : Graveside : Place of Worship : Wake : Family Home
A very basic system:
A mobile phone is the basic way of webcasting
A WiFi or mobile signal is essential
A carrier i.e. Zoom, YouTube, WhatsApp
Allthough the above is certainly a way of live streaming a memorial service, there are a few draw backs:
Someone has to hold a mobile phone throughout
Mobile signal is not always strong enough in crematoriums
The phone has to be close to those speaking, to pick up good audio
Some carriers do not like copyright music
Advantage of having a company or someone like me to do the job:
I would sort out everything so you wouldn't have to worry about it
A private web page would be created for the broadcast to be viewed
Unlimited viewers and viewing available worldwide
Quality filming and audio service would be provided
Live streaming can be from family house through to wake
A final copy of the video would be available afterwards

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, most crematoriums provide a live streaming services, but this is normally controlled remotely with a single camera at the back of the room
MY SERVICES ARE VERY DIFFERENT
MUCH MORE PERSONAL, SUPERIOR AND BESPOKE
...from the arrival of the cortege, waiting to go in, to zooming in and out, and then the flowers and family afterwards...I don't miss a thing, all professionally captured
If Live streaming at a previous venue to the crematorium, then the link stays the same and the cost is comparable to that charged by a crematorium
Yes I do, regularily, please see 'Travel Costs Map' or ask for travel costs
If live streaming is in London, an extra £80.00 is charged for overnight accomodation
I don't use local WiFi, network or mains power
I set up my own network...even in low mobile signal areas, with the equipment I have, this is not normally an issue
I normally arrive about an hour before start time - I don't need to get into the venue at that stage, my camera is on a tripod, on wheels, so I setup next to my car
I can then be live streaming within 5 minutes in neccesary
EXPERIENCE, PROFESSIONALISM and EMPATHY
Plus, my equipment setup means I am totally mobile - camera and live stream equipment is fixed on a tripod on a dolly - I can live stream from anywhere, from family home through to graveside
Between venues I would normally put a camera on my car and live stream from my car, driving behind the cortage
Sorry, but no - this is normally due to network failure and situations outside of my control. However, with the specialised equipment I use, it is rare that the live stream fails
I do record in the camera and put an edited version on the page within a day, if not sooner
Why Funeral Streaming?
In a digital age where technology is reshaping every aspect of our lives, it's no surprise that it is now making its way into the funeral industry. The rise of funeral live streaming is revolutionizing the way we grieve and memorialize our loved ones. With a simple click of a button, families and friends can now participate in a funeral service from anywhere in the world, bridging the gap between distance and mourning whether:
● They live overseas
● They are unable to travel
● They are elderly or unwell
● They have caring responsibilities
● Work or Committments prevent them attending
● The funeral is taking place a long distance away
● Several family members cannot be there in person
● They migrated and unable to travel
This emerging trend is driven by the need to adapt to modern times and the desire to include as many people as possible in the final farewell. Funeral live streaming allows those who are unable to attend in person, whether due to physical distance or health restrictions, to still be a part of the mourning process. It also provides a sense of closure and solace to those who are unable to say their goodbyes in person
Although this digital innovation may seem unconventional at first, it has quickly gained recognition for its ability to connect people during difficult times. As we continue to embrace the digital era, funeral live streaming is bridging the gap between physical and virtual worlds, bringing comfort to grieving hearts
