When someone cannot travel to a funeral, a live stream lets them be part of it. We have streamed hundreds of funerals over the last 10 years, for families in London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Berkshire, Hampshire and Buckinghamshire.
We bring everything with us, including our own internet connection, so the venue does not need wifi. Your guests open one private link on any phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to install and no limit on how many people can watch.
The whole service is recorded, so anyone who misses it can watch it later.
Our prices are the total you pay, including travel within the M25 and the South East. Free for your guests to watch, with no limit on numbers. There are no extras for the recording or the viewing page.
| Live stream from one location, usually the service or ceremony | £595 |
| Each additional location, such as the burial, committal or reception | £180 |
A service followed by a burial at a second location would therefore be £775 in total.
Our guarantee: if a live stream is ever interrupted, we replace it with the in-camera recording within 12 hours.
We arrive about 90 minutes before the service to set up and to introduce ourselves to the funeral director, the celebrant or priest, and any musicians. Unless you ask otherwise, the camera stays on a tripod and we do not move around during the ceremony.
We use a Sony Z200 broadcast camera. The service is streamed in full HD and recorded in 4K in the camera.
Poor sound is what spoils most home-made streams. We place a wireless lapel microphone on the priest or celebrant, a microphone at the lectern for readings and eulogies, and room microphones for hymns and music. All of our microphones are Sennheiser.
We transmit over six 4G connections bonded together with LiveU equipment. If one network drops, the others carry the stream. This lets us stream from almost any church, crematorium, cemetery or graveside without using the venue’s internet.
The camera records the service independently throughout. If a stream is ever interrupted, the in-camera recording replaces it on your viewing page within 12 hours.
The stream looks like a private television broadcast. We go live about 15 minutes before the service starts, so people have time to connect. Until the service begins, the stream shows a quiet view of the altar, the flowers or a candle.
We film from the back or side of the room, mostly over the shoulders of the congregation. We do not show close-ups of mourners’ faces. Long zoom lenses give a clear view of whoever is speaking, even from across a large church.
A live stream shows the service as it happens and keeps a complete recording. If you would like a shorter, edited film with music to keep and share, see our funeral videography. For still images of the day, see our funeral photography. Many families combine two of the three, and one operator can often cover both.
Yes. We speak to the venue and the funeral director beforehand to agree where the camera will stand and to check that filming is permitted.
Yes. The recording stays on the same private link for at least 12 months, and often up to 5 years, and you can download it at any time. We recommend saving a copy as soon as you receive it. People in other time zones often watch the following day.
With us, £595 for one location and £180 for each additional location, including travel within the M25 and the South East.
We do not use venue wifi. We bring six bonded 4G connections, which work in almost every location, including gravesides.
Yes. Only people with your link can watch. You decide who receives it.
A phone picks up the room, not the speaker, and depends on a single mobile signal. We use a broadcast camera on a tripod, a microphone on each speaker and six connections at once. Your guests also do not need an account or an app.
As many as you like. There is no viewer limit and no charge per viewer.
Rarely. We set up before guests arrive, stay in one place and work silently. Many families tell us afterwards they forgot we were there.
Less than you might think. We are sometimes booked just 24 hours before a funeral. If the date is close, call or WhatsApp 07939 292839 and we will tell you straight away whether we can do it.
It is rare, because six connections carry the stream at once. The camera also records the whole service independently. If a stream is ever interrupted, we replace it on your viewing page with the in-camera recording within 12 hours, so nobody misses the service.
Longer technical answers are on our FAQ page.
