The Complete Guide to Funeral Streaming Options in the UK
Introduction
Every farewell is different. Some families prefer a simple, one-location funeral stream. Others need coverage across several venues or cultural settings. This guide explains your streaming options — from DIY to professional — and helps you make the best decision for your loved one’s service.
What Is Funeral Streaming?
Funeral streaming allows family and friends to take part in a service even if they can’t attend in person. A secure live stream is shared privately, so guests can watch the service in real time — from anywhere in the world.
It’s a personal and inclusive way to stay connected during one of life’s most difficult moments.
The 3 Ways to Live Stream a Funeral – Pros & Cons
Families typically have three options for livestreaming a funeral. Here’s a side-by-side look at what each one offers:
1. DIY Streaming (Phone or Tablet)
Some families try to live stream using a mobile device and social media platform. While it’s possible, there are common challenges:
Poor signal or unstable internet
Shaky video and poor audio
No zoom or lighting control
Often filmed from the back of the room
Result: the stream may cut out, and key moments may be missed or hard to hear.
2. Crematorium or Church Webcast Systems
Many venues offer basic fixed-camera streaming. These are usually automated and built-in.
Limited camera angles
No control over sound levels
Often unbranded or hard to customise
Can’t switch views or include tribute videos
These systems work — but often feel distant or impersonal.
