Life doesn’t always go to plan, and when a bereavement occurs, sometimes it’s challenging to get everyone together for the funeral service. While many friends and family will wish to attend the service and say their final goodbyes, sometimes not everyone can make it on the day, whether due to travel challenges, health restrictions, or other reasons.

To help bridge the gap and still give loved ones a way to say goodbye, a Live and On Demand funeral streaming option offers a meaningful way for those who can’t physically attend to still be a part of the service, wherever they may be in the world. While we understand that logging-in to a Live Stream is not the same as being there on the day, for some it can still give the opportunity to say farewell and offer a moment of solace during times of grief.

Unite loved ones, even from afar 

Live streaming ensures families and friends can participate in the service in real-time, even if they are unable to get there. Families also retain full control over who receives the log-in details, ensuring privacy and peace of mind.

Flexibility to revisit special moments 

Our On-Demand feature allows families to watch a recording again for up to 28 days after their loved one's service has taken place. This can be a source of comfort during their grieving process, or a way to ensure no one misses the final farewell.

Preserving memories for the future

Whether a family decides before or after the service that they would like to have a stream, in many cases service recordings can be retrieved for up to 90 days after the service. Keepsake options also allow families to cherish a recording of the service forever in their chosen format.

Please speak to your funeral arranger about the streaming and multimedia options available at your chosen crematorium.
