Funeral Live Streaming

Live Funeral Streaming in the UK

Funeral Live Streaming is a family-run business based in the UK that provides audio-visual services for funerals and memorials. Established in 2014, it began with traditional videography and in 2018 added live streaming, an activity through which it has broadcast more than 750 funerals since then, reaching audiences in over 120 countries. The company operates under the trading names Funeral Live Streaming, uk-funeral-livestreaming.co.uk and UK Live, all belonging to The Shutter Hub Limited.

Live Streaming Services

The company live streams funerals and memorials from gravesides, churches, mosques, crematoriums, family homes, function rooms and other venues. It is able to cover multiple locations consecutively, allowing the service to be linked with the burial or cremation. Each broadcast includes a professional camera operator, high-definition signal, ambient and lapel microphones, online video hosting, a space for remote attendees to leave condolence messages and a digital download of the recording. There is no limit on the number of viewers and the stream can be watched from anywhere in the world on a smartphone, tablet or smart TV. The company states that it can operate without a power supply or wifi connection at the funeral venue.

Traditional Videography and Audio-Visual Solutions

In addition to live broadcasting, the company films funerals and memorials with subsequent studio editing, using music chosen by the client. Filming can cover everything from the family home and the hearse or horse-drawn carriage to the service, the flowers and the wake. In the audio-visual field, it offers sound projection to other rooms or outdoors, projector and flat-screen TV hire, and the creation of photo and video slideshows. It also combines services, such as simultaneous global streaming with projection in an adjacent room.

Packages Based on the Number of Locations

The company structures its streaming packages according to the number of locations. The single-location package covers the service, memorial, burial or cremation in one place, whether a church, crematorium or cemetery. The two-location package usually combines a service with a subsequent commemoration, such as a cremation or burial, and also covers memorials at private residences and the scattering or interment of ashes. The multi-location package handles cases requiring coverage of several points, such as the funeral home and the family home before the service and the commemoration. All packages include 100 miles of travel.

Geographic Coverage and Availability

The service operates throughout England, as well as in parts of Wales and Scotland, with a presence in London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Bedford, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Yorkshire and other areas. The company works seven days a week and can take bookings for the following day subject to availability. As a small team, it can only stream one funeral per day, and bookings are usually made one to three weeks in advance.

Support for Families

The company describes its work as a support service that begins at the time of booking, when it guides the family in setting up a personalised memorial webpage with photographs, donation links and a biography. The team coordinates with funeral directors and the venue to achieve the best camera angles, and during the broadcast the operators monitor the feed and mix the audio sources. The company states that it has more than fourteen years of experience filming and photographing funerals of all faiths. It also notes that it respects those who prefer not to be filmed and that, if instructed, it will endeavour to avoid focusing directly on those individuals.
