Funeral Live Streaming, Videography & Photography in Derbyshire
I'm Shaun, and I provide professional funeral live streaming, funeral videography and funeral photography across Derbyshire and the wider East Midlands — from large church services and crematoriums to woodland burials, celebration of life events, and everything in between.
With over 2,500 funerals covered personally across the UK, I bring both technical expertise and genuine care to every service. I arrive early, set everything up before guests arrive, and work closely with your funeral director so that you and your family can focus entirely on the day.
A Real Derbyshire Funeral — Captain Kori Stovell, Ripley
One of the most significant and moving funerals I have ever filmed took place in Ripley, Derbyshire. Kori Stovell — known to over 200,000 YouTube subscribers as "Captain" Kori — was 11 years old when he passed away after a long battle with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Johnny Depp paid tribute. Hundreds of people lined the streets of Ripley dressed as pirates to say goodbye.
I was asked to provide funeral videography and funeral photography for the service at All Saints Church, creating a lasting record for his family and for his global online community.

This example demonstrates how we provide professional funeral live streaming services in Derby, Derbyshire and across the UK.
What Funeral Live Streaming in Derbyshire Includes
Every service I provide in Derbyshire includes:
Two-camera setup — wide and close angles for full coverage
1080p high-definition live stream
Professional microphones capturing clear, balanced audio at every speaking point
Four bonded internet connections combined for a stable, reliable broadcast — essential in rural Derbyshire where a single mobile signal can be unreliable
Private viewing link shared only with those the family chooses
Full HD recording available immediately after the service
Stream hosted online for 12 months with a free downloadable copy
Everything is handled discreetly. Cameras are set up and tested before anyone arrives, and once the service begins I work quietly in the background.
Venues I Cover in Derbyshire and the East Midlands
I regularly provide funeral streaming, videography and photography at venues across Derbyshire, including:
Markeaton Crematorium, Derby — one of Derby's main crematoriums, serving the city and surrounding areas. I've worked here on several occasions and know the chapel layout and sightlines well.
Chesterfield Crematorium — serving Chesterfield, Staveley, Bolsover and north Derbyshire. A well-managed venue with good acoustics for streaming.
All Saints Church, Ripley — where I filmed Kori Stovell's funeral in 2023. A traditional Derbyshire parish church with the kind of strong stone walls that need bonded internet rather than reliance on mobile signal.
Oakhill Memorial Park, Annesley — a modern memorial park and crematorium on the Nottinghamshire border, serving families across the southern East Midlands.
I also work at smaller village churches, woodland burial grounds, and non-religious venues across the county. Each location has its own layout and technical requirements, and I plan for these in advance.
Videography and Photography Alongside Streaming
Many families in Derbyshire choose to combine funeral live streaming with funeral videography or funeral photography— the stream for those who cannot attend, and a film or photographs as a lasting record for the family.
Managing everything as a single service means nothing is missed and the family has one person to deal with from first enquiry through to final delivery.
I also create funeral tribute films and slideshows from £220, and can play them full screen through the live stream so remote viewers see them clearly at the same moment as those in the room.
For AV support at the venue itself — screens, projectors, music playback — my funeral AV services page explains what's available.
Cultural and Community Experience in Derbyshire
Derbyshire and the wider East Midlands are home to a wide range of communities and traditions. I have experience providing funeral services across Christian, Catholic, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and multi-faith ceremonies — as well as non-religious celebrations of life, woodland burials, and services shaped entirely by the family's own wishes.
Every service is unique. My approach is always respectful, adaptable and guided entirely by what matters most to the family.
Connecting Families Across the World
Many families in Derbyshire have loved ones living abroad — in Europe, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia or North America. Funeral live streaming allows those who cannot travel to be present in real time, watching on a phone, tablet, laptop or television through a simple private link.
Every stream I provide is also recorded and available to watch back for 12 months, with a free HD download included — so those in different time zones can watch the full service whenever they are ready.
Shaun did an incredible job filming our family funeral. This was so important to us as we wanted to share the service with our families in Jamaica, Barbados, and the rest of the world.
From start to finish, Shaun was incredibly easy to work with. His availability during out-of-hours and late at night was a pleasant surprise. The finished video he produced exceeded our expectations. He captured all the culturally significant aspects of the funeral, ensuring nothing was missed. He worked tirelessly throughout the day, filming the family home, the church, the open coffin, the burial, and the wake. He wasn't intrusive, but worked diligently and with the greatest respect.
The crisp quality of the video and audio was beyond anything we or our family had ever seen before. We are absolutely thrilled with our choice and feel lucky to have found him. We cannot recommend him enough.
