Usually, the only way distant family members, friends, and anyone else who cares can say goodbye to a loved one is by making a phone call, sending a card or flowers, or conveying your condolences and condolences. Well not yet. Now, thanks to the latest webcasting technologies, anyone from around the world can be there to experience the entire service from the comfort of their own home.

Hiring a live streaming service provider is the easiest way to stream a memorial service. Today, a home computer, iPad, Android tablet, or smartphone can deliver high-quality HD video, allowing you to create content without the need for expensive video equipment. Cloud streaming services are designed to accommodate anyone who is unable to attend a funeral or special event due to health, distance, cost, or work issues.

Most service providers create a custom, secure website for private viewing and send your guests an email that includes a link to the site, a user ID and password, and instructions on how to view the ceremony. Also, viewers can chat with each other, so it becomes interactive.

Helping people heal through remote participation

As our lives become more demanding and the distances between loved ones grow, it is not always possible to attend a funeral due to ill health, distance, cost or work. However, webcasting services overcome these barriers by providing a live streaming platform for family and friends to participate in the memorial service.

Some funeral directors suggest that sharing condolences with family members may be more important to the grieving process than witnessing the actual service.

A discreet video camera can be set up to film a funeral, which is then broadcast online on a password-protected site for the benefit of mourners who were unable to attend.

A live webcast specialist can webcast the funeral to any internet-connected device (for example, PC, iPad, Android tablet, or smartphone) so the memorial service can be viewed live from the comfort of home of the remote viewer.

Built for the non-technical user

How simple is the memorial broadcast service? As the funeral is about to begin, viewers click the link included in your emailed invitation. Then, through the high-speed Internet connection, they can see the entire service, visual and auditory. That’s all about it. And that’s just one reason why more and more families are asking funeral directors about this perfect new option that can bring people together like never before.

Live web streaming is becoming more prevalent in the funeral industry. Why? For less than the cost of a single plane ticket, family, friends and other supportive individuals can view a high-quality broadcast of a memorial service from the comfort of their home or wherever they are.
