Funeral AV Services UK | TV & PA Hire with On‑Site Support

We provide professional funeral audio visual (AV) services across the UK, ensuring every word is heard and every visual tribute is seen clearly. From funeral PA system hire and microphones to TV screen hire for funerals, outdoor speakers, and full technical support, everything is supplied, set up, and managed on the day – nothing is ever just dropped off and left.

Whether the service is small and intimate or spread across a church, crematorium, outdoor area, and overflow rooms, we focus on calm, discreet AV support so families, funeral directors, and officiants can concentrate on the service itself while we take care of the technical side.

What is funeral audio visual (AV) support?

Funeral AV support involves providing professional sound systems, microphones, TV screens, and technical management to enhance how a funeral, memorial, or celebration of life is heard and seen. It ensures that readings are heard clearly, music is played at the right level and at the right time, and visual tributes – such as funeral slideshows and tribute videos – are displayed properly to everyone who has gathered.

This is especially important in venues where the built‑in system is limited, unreliable, or simply not designed to handle larger numbers of people or additional spaces. Professionally managed funeral AV removes uncertainty and replaces it with clarity and consistency, allowing the service to flow naturally without technical distractions.

Why professional AV support matters at a funeral

Every funeral venue presents its own challenges. Churches may have ageing sound systems that struggle to carry voices, crematoria can be restrictive about what can be plugged in, and outdoor or graveside services often have no amplification at all. When attendance is high, many guests find themselves outside, in side aisles, or in overflow rooms where they cannot hear or see clearly.

Professional funeral AV support ensures that these issues are anticipated and planned for in advance. We assess the spaces, supply suitable PA systems and screens, and handle all setup, testing, and operation. The result is a service that feels unified and inclusive, where everyone present – inside, outside, or in another room – can follow and share in the moment.

Our funeral AV services

We provide fully managed funeral AV hire with an experienced technician on site for every booking – no dry hire, no unattended equipment. Each setup is tailored to the service and can be combined with our funeral live streaming, videography, photography, and slideshow services where needed.

Funeral PA system hire

Clear audio is at the heart of any funeral or celebration of life service. We supply professional funeral PA systems designed for everything from small chapels and crematorium chapels to large churches, halls, marquees, and outdoor settings. These systems ensure that every word is heard clearly, without distortion or harshness, regardless of where people are sitting or standing.

We provide:

  • PA system hire for funerals, gravesides, memorials, and celebrations of life.

  • Portable speakers for indoor and outdoor use.

  • Mixing and control so volumes are balanced and comfortable throughout.

Microphone hire for funerals

We offer a range of microphones suitable for different parts of the service, including:

  • Lapel (clip‑on) microphones for officiants and celebrants.

  • Handheld microphones for readings, eulogies, and tributes.

  • Ambient microphones when choir, musicians, or congregational singing needs to be captured more naturally.

Our aim is always to make those speaking feel as comfortable as possible, with simple, clear guidance and no unnecessary fuss.

TV screen and funeral screen hire

For visual tributes, we offer funeral TV hire and screen hire for funerals, wakes, and celebrations of life. Our high‑quality TV screens and stands are suitable for:

  • playing funeral slideshows and tribute videos;

  • showing live or replayed coverage of the service in overflow rooms;

  • providing visual coverage outside the venue when numbers are high.

Screens can be positioned discreetly inside the venue, at the entrance, in a side chapel, in a hall or marquee, and in other locations where guests gather. All screens are supplied, set up, and operated by us on the day.

Support for funeral slideshows and tribute videos

We regularly create and run funeral slideshows and tribute videos on our screens as part of the service. If we are also creating your slideshow, we can prepare everything in advance and manage the playback so it starts at exactly the right moment, with the right sound level and without any technical worry for the family or funeral director.

Supporting larger services and complex setups

Many funerals now involve larger attendances or multiple spaces. We regularly provide funeral AV solutions that extend beyond a single room:

  • Outdoor funeral speakers and screens – for when the church or chapel is full and people are gathered outside, so they can still hear and see the service clearly.

  • Overflow room AV – extending audio and video into additional rooms or halls so that those who cannot fit in the main space still feel part of the service.

  • Graveside PA systems – portable PA and microphones for graveside prayers, committals, and short services where sound can easily be lost in open air.

Every setup is planned with the funeral director, officiant, or venue in advance. We arrive early, run tests, and manage everything quietly in the background from start to finish.

Combining AV with live streaming and videography

One of the key advantages of working with UK Funeral Video Services is the ability to combine funeral AV hire with funeral live streaming and funeral videography in one integrated setup.

Instead of three separate suppliers, you have one team handling:

The same microphones, PA systems, and visual feeds that support the room are used to feed the live stream and recording. This avoids messy, improvised connections, and helps ensure the best possible quality for both in‑person and online attendees.

Funeral AV prices and packages

Our funeral AV services are tailored to each service, with pricing depending mainly on:

  • the type of venue and spaces involved;

  • the amount of equipment needed (PA systems, microphones, TVs, screens, outdoor coverage, overflow rooms);

  • the length of the service and time on site;

  • whether AV is being combined with live streaming, videography, photography, or slideshow creation.

Simple setups, such as a single PA system and microphone inside one venue, are more straightforward. Larger events – for example, church plus outdoor coverage and an overflow room with screens and sound – require more equipment and more time on site.

We always provide clear, upfront pricing based on your specific requirements, with no hidden costs. Once we understand the venue, timings, and what you would like to include, we will recommend a setup and provide a detailed quote.

What Families Say

“Shaun and his team were absolutely outstanding. They arrived early and set up two large TVs and a professional speaker system outside the church, ensuring that the many people who couldn’t fit inside could still see and hear every part of the service clearly. He also provided a live stream for friends and family across the world—the quality of which was genuinely the best I’ve ever seen.

It made a huge difference to know everything was being handled so professionally and with such care. A heartfelt thank you to our funeral directors for recommending you. Shaun, you helped make an incredibly difficult day feel a little easier.”

Rob & Family ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Shaun created several tribute films for us and also provided the TV, screen, music, speakers, and visuals on the day, managing everything seamlessly. He did an incredible job — everything was handled to absolute perfection.”

Frequently asked questions about funeral AV hire

What types of equipment do you provide for funeral services?

We provide a full range of professional audio visual equipment for funerals, including PA systems and speakers, microphones, TV screens, and stands. Each setup is tailored to the service, whether it takes place in a church, crematorium, outdoor space, marquee, hall, or across multiple locations. Everything is supplied, set up, managed during the service, and removed by us afterwards.

How do you ensure the AV setup does not disrupt the funeral service?

Our approach is always discreet and respectful. We arrive early to set up before guests arrive, positioning equipment carefully so it blends into the surroundings. Once the service begins, everything is managed quietly in the background, with no unnecessary movement or interruption, so the focus remains entirely on the service itself.

Can you accommodate last‑minute requests for funeral AV services?

Where availability allows, yes. We understand that funeral arrangements can change quickly and that AV requirements are sometimes only identified closer to the day. The earlier we are contacted, the more we can prepare, but we will always do our best to support families and funeral directors with short‑notice requests.

Can AV be integrated with funeral live streaming?

Yes. Our funeral AV setups integrate seamlessly with funeral live streaming, allowing the same microphones and audio feeds used in the room to be sent directly to the stream. This helps ensure that those watching remotely hear the service clearly and experience a consistent sound quality throughout.

How do you handle outdoor AV challenges during funerals?

Outdoor services can present challenges such as wind, open space, and background noise. We use equipment designed for outdoor use — including weather‑suitable speakers and carefully placed microphones — and adjust levels during the service so that voices carry clearly and naturally without being overpowering.

What should families consider when planning AV support for a funeral?

It helps to think about how many people are expected, whether some guests may be outside or in other rooms, and whether you would like to include visual elements such as a funeral slideshow or tribute video. We can talk through the venue layout, order of service, and any concerns you have, then recommend a setup that supports the day properly.

Are your services available for different types of funeral ceremonies across the UK?

Yes. We provide funeral AV hire and on‑site support for all types of funerals and memorial services across the UK, including religious services, cremations, graveside services, and more informal celebrations of life. Each service is approached with sensitivity and respect, and the AV is shaped to fit the tone and structure of the ceremony.

Do you stay on site during the funeral, or is it just equipment hire?

All of our funeral AV bookings include an experienced technician on site – we do not offer unattended or “drop‑off only” equipment hire. We handle delivery, setup, testing, live operation during the service, and pack‑down afterwards, so families and funeral directors do not have to worry about any technical details.

What do you need in terms of power and internet?

For most PA and TV setups we simply need access to standard mains power sockets at the venue or in adjacent spaces. For live streaming, we can often work with a venue’s internet connection, but we also carry our own mobile solutions where coverage allows. If you are unsure what is available at your church, crematorium, hall, marquee, or outdoor location, we can discuss this in advance and plan a suitable setup.

Which areas do you cover for funeral AV hire?

We provide funeral AV, TV and PA hire across the UK, regularly working in London, the South East, the Midlands and further afield. If you are arranging a funeral outside these areas, please get in touch – if the travel and timings work, we are usually able to help or recommend the best approach.

Can you work with our funeral director, officiant, or venue?

Yes. We regularly work alongside funeral directors, celebrants, clergy, crematoria and venue staff to plan the AV setup and fit around the order of service. Good communication beforehand means everything runs smoothly on the day and the AV supports the funeral rather than getting in the way.
