In recent years, rapid advances in technology combined with changing family structures and global mobility have quietly reshaped how families come together to say goodbye. Live streaming and digital tools are no longer viewed as temporary solutions or optional extras; they are becoming an integral part of modern funeral services.

As we look to the future, these technologies are not replacing tradition. Instead, they are extending it - allowing more people to participate, remember, and grieve in ways that feel meaningful and accessible.

“At weddings, yes… but at a funeral? No way.”

“Pictures bring these memories back… and keep the memory a bit ‘alive’ for longer.”

We’ve shared their story on our blog - in their words - about why funeral photography became such a meaningful keepsake during an incredibly difficult time.
