Live Streaming
The loss of a loved one is an emotional and difficult time. For many, the funeral service is over in a flash, and it can be hard to remember what was said or everyone who attended.
For those that live interstate or overseas, there is the emotional toll of not being able to attend the funeral in person. Where they can get solace is joining the service via a live stream and still feel part of the day. With technology at our fingertips, a live streamed funeral gives those family and friends the ability to still grieve and feel connected.
In an era of preserving memories, there is a power of documenting a funeral service to relive and honour the essence of our loved ones.

What is a Funeral Live Streaming?
Live streaming is when a video is shared via an internet platform, making it available to view in real time, rather than being recorded and uploaded to view later.
When live streaming a funeral service, a videographer sets up at the church/venue with multiple cameras, microphones, and a dual SIM internet connection. The video is broadcast over the internet with a 5 – 10 second delay.
Benefits of Live Streaming a Funeral
Families may consider live streaming a loved one’s funeral service for a number of reasons. Over our 15 years of filming funerals, we have spoken with many families and discussed what is important to them. This is why some families live stream their loved ones service:
Living Memory
A live streaming gives family and friends the ability to look back on the video recording to reflect on the day, listen to the eulogies or see who was in attendance.
Accessibility
The cost of travel, work commitment or health concerns may restrict who can attend a funeral. For those people, a live stream is the next best thing.
Unity
For those watching the live stream, it's an opportunity to come together to watch online while supporting and reflecting on their memories together.
Intimate
A family may opt for an intimate service or the venue may not be able to accommodate everyone. A live stream allows everyone to feel part of the service.
