Professional Funeral Live Streaming Across the UK
When someone you love dies, distance shouldn’t stop family and friends from being part of the funeral. Funeral live streaming allows those who are thousands of miles away, too unwell to travel, or simply unable to attend on the day to watch and share in the farewell as it happens — privately, securely and in real time.
I’m Shaun. Over the past ten years I’ve personally planned and managed more than 2,500 funerals across the UK for families of every faith, culture and background. From quiet services with only a handful of people present to large Caribbean, Nigerian, Hindu and military funerals watched live by hundreds of people around the world, I bring the same level of preparation and technical skill every time.
I use professional cameras, dedicated microphones, bonded 4G/5G connectivity and Starlink satellite internet so that funeral streaming works reliably — even in rural churches, cemeteries and signal blackspots where most conventional setups fail.
Funeral live streaming starts from £650, with everything needed to stream and record the service included, and no charge for family or friends to watch.

Real Funerals I've Streamed
Rather than simply describe what I do, here are some of the real services families have trusted me to cover:
A funeral at a thousand-year-old Norman church near Crawley in a rural signal blackspot — one of the most technically difficult streams I've done, delivered flawlessly to family in England, Scotland, Australia and Canada
A recent Zimbabwean funeral streamed from a church in Pimlico, London, watched by 571 people across nine countries
A Jamaican funeral in Birmingham, covering both the church service and the committal which shows our extensive experience with Caribbean traditions.
A military funeral at Wellington Barracks, London - a full ceremonial service with military honours in central London
A celebration of life at the London Rowing Club, streamed to family and friends in 27 countries
A Hindu ashes immersion (asthi visarjan) on the River Almond in Edinburgh, streamed to more than 400 people across eight countries, with much of the family joining live from across India

Why Choose Professional Funeral Live Streaming?
When arranging funeral streaming, most families consider three main options:
Fixed venue cameras (usually the crematorium or church system) These are typically a single fixed camera at the back of the room. They often have limited angles, average sound quality, and the recording may only be available for a short time (sometimes just 28 days).
DIY funeral streaming (phone, tablet or laptop) This can work in perfect conditions, but signal problems, battery life, poor audio, and the stress of managing it on the day often make it unreliable — especially in older buildings or outdoor locations.
Professional funeral live streaming This is the service I provide. It includes two professional cameras, dedicated microphones, bonded 4G/5G and Starlink connectivity, a private viewing link, and a full HD recording available for 12 months. Everything is set up and managed so the family can focus on the day rather than the technology.
For most families the difference is reliability, picture and sound quality, and peace of mind — particularly when people are watching from other countries or when the venue has poor or no signal.
What Does My Funeral Live Streaming Include?
Every funeral I stream is a fully managed professional service. As standard it includes:
1080p high-definition streaming using professional cameras
Two-camera coverage (wider views of the service and closer coverage of readings, tributes and important moments)
Dedicated professional microphones for ministers, celebrants, speakers and music
Bonded 4G/5G connectivity using multiple mobile networks
Starlink satellite internet where required for remote venues and signal blackspots
A private viewing page that can be shared securely with family and friends
The option to incorporate a Funeral Slideshow into the Live Stream
A personalised holding screen before the service begins
Digital order of service displayed alongside the broadcast (where required)
Online guestbook for remote viewers to leave messages
Coverage across multiple locations where timings allow (for example church followed by graveside or crematorium)
3 months of private online hosting
A downloadable HD recording for the family to keep
Can You Live Stream a Funeral Where There’s No Wi-Fi or Signal?
Yes. Many beautiful churches, rural cemeteries and natural burial grounds are extremely difficult places to stream from. Thick stone walls, valleys, woodland and remote locations can all weaken mobile connectivity.
I never rely on the venue’s Wi-Fi. I bring multiple mobile connections across different networks and bond them together for greater resilience. Where there is no usable mobile signal at all, I use Starlink satellite internet. I’ve successfully streamed from remote rural settings and even from a private walled garden in Little Venice, Central London where there was no 4G/5G signal whatsoever.
If connectivity at your venue concerns you, simply tell me the location and I will assess it and plan the most appropriate solution before the day.
How Does Funeral Live Streaming Work On The Day?
Before the funeral
Once the booking is confirmed I create your private viewing page and send you the link well in advance. You can share it with anyone you’d like to watch. There are no apps for guests to install and no accounts to create.
Setup
I normally arrive around two hours before the funeral and aim to have everything fully set up and tested long before guests arrive. Cameras and microphones are positioned discreetly.
Going live
The stream usually begins around 20 minutes before the service starts. A holding screen (often with a photograph of the person being remembered) lets viewers know they are in the right place.
During the service
I remain with the stream throughout, monitoring the connection, sound and cameras, and switching between angles as the funeral unfolds. For larger or multi-location services, trusted members of my team can work alongside me.
Afterwards
The recording remains available on the same private viewing page. A downloadable HD copy is provided for the family. Where available, I can also supply viewing information showing how many people joined and the countries they watched from.
What Can Family and Friends Watching Online Expect?
Guests simply open the private link on a phone, tablet, laptop, desktop or smart TV. No specialist software is required.
Once the service begins they see a clear high-definition broadcast with professional sound and carefully chosen camera angles — from the arrival of the coffin through readings, tributes, music and the final farewell. Viewers can open the order of service alongside the video and leave messages in the online guestbook. Anyone who joins late can rewind to the beginning. The recording remains available afterwards so relatives in different time zones, or those who found the day too difficult, can watch when they feel ready.
Why the Recording Matters as Much as the Live Stream
For many families the recording becomes something they return to long after the funeral itself.
I’ve worked with a gentleman who was too unwell to attend his wife’s funeral and watched the recording later that afternoon from his hospital bed. Another family had relatives in Canada who couldn’t join live because of the time difference and watched the entire service together the following morning. Many families tell me they return to the recording on anniversaries and birthdays.
Every service is recorded professionally and a permanent HD copy is provided for the family to keep.
Where Do I Provide Funeral Streaming Services?
I provide funeral streaming across the whole of the UK. In recent months alone that has included services in Edinburgh, Nottinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Surrey and across London. Over the years I’ve streamed funerals everywhere from the Scottish Highlands to Cornwall — rural village churches in Wales, large city-centre services in Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Oxford and York, multi-day Hindu funerals in Scotland, and Caribbean and African services right across England.
Distance isn’t an obstacle. When a family wants me there, I travel — and I bring everything needed to stream reliably, including satellite for venues with no signal at all.
