What is Funeral Live Streaming?

Funeral Live Streaming involves broadcasting a funeral service over the internet, allowing people to view the service in real-time from their computers or mobile devices. This is done through a secure platform that is only accessible to invited viewers.

Live streaming can be used to broadcast any aspect of the funeral service, from the eulogy and readings to the music and final moments. The video is captured by professional videographers using high-quality equipment and techniques, ensuring that every moment of the service is captured with sensitivity and precision.

Benefits of Funeral Live Streaming

Funeral Live Streaming offers many benefits to families and loved ones who are unable to attend the service in person. Here are just a few:

  1. Stay connected: Live streaming allows you to participate in the funeral service and feel connected to your loved ones, even if you can't be there in person.

  2. Accessibility: Live streaming is accessible from anywhere in the world, so no matter where you are, you can be part of the service.

  3. Inclusivity: Live streaming ensures that everyone who wants to be part of the service can be, regardless of physical limitations, distance or other circumstances.

  4. Convenience: Even if you live close to the funeral home, you may not be able to attend the service due to work, family or other commitments. Live streaming allows you to participate in the service at your convenience.

  5. Recording: The live stream can be recorded and made available for viewing after the service, providing a lasting tribute to the loved one.

How Funeral Live Streaming Works

Funeral Live Streaming is easy to use and can be accessed from any device with an internet connection, such as a computer, tablet or smartphone. The funeral director or family member will provide a link and password to invited viewers, who can then log in and watch the service live.

The live stream can also be recorded and made available for viewing after the service, providing a lasting tribute to the loved one.

The Benefits of Live Streaming


Live streaming has become a popular medium for communication and entertainment in recent years. It offers many benefits, both for individuals and businesses, and has revolutionised the way we interact with each other. In this blog post, we will explore some of the key benefits of live streaming.

Accessibility: Live streaming makes it possible for anyone, anywhere, to connect and communicate with a large audience in real-time. This is particularly useful for people who are unable to attend events or meetings in person due to physical or geographical restrictions.

Interactivity: Live streaming allows for real-time interaction between the broadcaster and the audience. This creates a more engaging and dynamic experience, compared to pre-recorded content. On some live streams viewers can ask questions, make comments, and even participate in real-time polls.

Increased Engagement: Live streaming is a highly engaging form of content that can attract a large audience. By providing an interactive and authentic experience, live streaming has the potential to increase engagement and loyalty among viewers.

Cost-Effective: Live streaming is a cost-effective way to reach a large audience. Unlike traditional media such as television or radio, live streaming requires only a reliable internet connection and one or more professional cameras. This makes it an accessible and affordable option for businesses and individuals looking to reach a wider audience.

Flexibility: Live streaming can be used in a variety of settings, from concerts and sporting events to educational workshops and business meetings. This flexibility makes it a versatile tool for a wide range of purposes.

Increased Reach: Live streaming has the potential to reach a much larger audience than traditional forms of media. With the ability to share streams on social media platforms as well as websites, businesses and individuals can expand their reach and connect with a global audience.

In Conclusion: Live streaming is a powerful tool that offers numerous benefits, including accessibility, interactivity, increased engagement, cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and increased reach. Whether you are a business looking to connect with customers or an individual looking to connect with friends and family, live streaming is a powerful tool that should not be overlooked.

Copyright Infringement

To those using Facebook and You Tube for live streaming and video hosting the consequences of the new rules regarding streaming music can be quite dramatic. Both platforms are increasingly shutting down streams where the content includes music.

With Facebook you get a standard takedown notice, followed by another warning that you are repeatedly in breach of the rules, followed by a 3-day ban from going live.

You then receive a warning which informs you that continued breaches will lead to a permanent and irreversible live ban.

Pages can be taken down regardless of how much you might have spent on advertising etc.

Of course if you’re not playing anything copyright related you can carry on as normal.

If you need any help or advice contact us.

Covid-19

Well as most of our work has dried up as all bookings have either been cancelled or postponed, we have been devoting our time to filming and live streaming funerals here in Lancashire.

As our equipment was sitting idle and news started to emerge how difficult it was for families not being able to attend funerals because of social distancing, we thought we might as well make ourselves useful.

So we contacted funeral directors in the area offering our live streaming service and since lockdown we have streamed a staggering 150 funerals to allow family and friends who can't attend to pay their repects.

The feedback we have received has been truly amazing form all around the world, including South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, France and the USA.

We're not sure when business will start to get back to normal, but at least we're keeping ourselves busy.

Stay well everybody!

Why not have your corporate video produced in stunning 4K

It’s widely been accepted for a long time that the quality of your promotional or corporate video largely reflects the quality of a business and a poor quality amateur video means a poor business.

The minimum requirement for a half-decent quality picture is generally HD at 1080p.

However with our new delivery of cameras we are now able to film in glorious 4K mode. As the names implies 4K has a considerably higher resolution than 1080P HD video.

4K resolution is exactly 3840 x 2160 pixels, whilst 1080P consists of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The 4K designation refers to the close to 4000 horizontal pixels which is a huge increase.

Of course any camera is only as good as its operator and having excellent quality video alone is not enough. It’s just as important - some would say more - to make sure the audio is equally as good.
