How much does it cost to live stream a Funeral?
The cost of a Funeral Live Stream depends on the following:
The location of the funeral service
We travel all over the UK to webcast and live stream. Some funerals are local to us in Chester, but we have travelled to some that are 100 – 200 miles away. We get recommended by Funeral Directors, Clergy, Celebrants all over the UK.
The number of locations you choose
Most often we stream from just one location in a church. and other times we can be covering the family home, the church service, the Burial and the Wake. For the more complicated Funeral Streaming requests where we are asked to cover the family home, church service, the Burial and the Wake, we may need a far bigger team with up to three videographers with full ‘kit’ to make it work. This will obviously have an impact on cost.

We use a piece of equipment that joins together the data connection from several networks to give us a strong, reliable connections. Most of our funeral webcasts come from churches, but we have also streamed crematoriums, graveside, and forests. We have even streamed live from a beautiful tithe barn in the middle of the countryside. No matter how unusual the location, a live stream is most likely possible.
How can I watch a Funeral Live Stream online?
We have made it really easy to watch a funeral online. On booking us to Live Stream a Memorial Service or Funeral, we will create a web link that will show the service. You can share this out ahead of time to any number of friends and relatives, there really is no limit.
If you provide us with a PDF copy of the order of service we can include this too as a download so that everyone watching online can get the same experience as everyone there.
On the day itself, we start the live stream at least 15 mins before the service begins. This will give everyone watching online the chance to login nice and early, ensuring they are ‘good to go’ when the service begins.

The live stream can be viewed from anywhere in the world. All that is needed to watch is the streaming link, an internet connection, and a mobile phone, tablet or computer. Click the streaming link just before the service starts to view everything live.
It’s entirely up to you who you decide to share the private link to the live stream with. Everyone that you share the link will be free to watch when the funeral service when it goes live. By default, we do not password protect live streams, but we are able to provide this feature should you require it.
Is it weird to Live Stream a Funeral?
Our first live streamed funeral was for a family member during the first lockdown in 2020 when, due to Government covid restrictions, only six family members were permitted to attend. Since then we’ve streamed scores of funerals and have yet to meet anyone who thinks it’s weird or insensitive. Our experience is opposite, often receiving compliments and thanks with friends and family saying it’s ‘a great idea’.
On occasions we’ve had hundreds of viewers join us online and have received great feedback and thanks from all over the world for making it possible.
The technology that we use has come along way for professional funeral live stream companies, so staying discreet and taking up only a small ‘footprint’ means we can film from a distance without getting in the way.
What if my church or crematorium already has a live stream installed?
There are many occasions where a client doesn’t use the system installed in a Church or a Crematorium. Obitus and Wesley are the low-cost, unattended systems used in most of these locations. The quality of the stream is reflected in the price.
Always ask for an example of what they provide so that you can make an informed decision over whether to use their system or ours.
Can you watch a Live Stream Funeral Later?
Yes, definitely. You can watch a live stream funeral online later after the event has finished. The original link to view the service will still be valid and the recording of the live stream will stay online and be available for the next 3 months.
Why Live Stream a Funeral?
Many families are spread all over the world, so the main reason we are asked to live stream a funeral is to give friends and relatives who can’t be there due to distance, short notice, illness or covid restrictions the chance to pay their respects online and take part in saying goodbye.
