Professional Funeral Live Streaming Across the UK
I’m Shaun, and I personally handle funeral live streaming across the UK, having streamed and filmed over 2,500 funerals over the past ten years. For larger or more complex services I work with a small, regular team I know and trust, but your funeral is always led and managed by me.
When family and friends cannot attend in person, funeral live streaming allows them to be part of the service in real time from anywhere in the world. I provide a secure, private and meaningful way for loved ones to watch the funeral online and feel genuinely included in the farewell — whatever the service, wherever it is held.
I cover funeral streaming across the UK for services in churches, crematoria, cemeteries, family homes and outdoor venues. Every live stream is carefully managed and delivered with the reliability, respect and attention to detail that families and funeral directors need on one of the most important days of their lives. With over 2,500 funerals streamed nationwide, I understand that there are no second chances — which is why every live stream is planned in advance, set up professionally and monitored throughout.
Who Funeral Streaming Helps
Funeral live streaming is often chosen when not everyone can be there in person. It gives people a way to be present, even when travel, health or other circumstances make attending impossible.
It can be especially helpful for:
Family and friends who live abroad or far away in the UK.
Relatives who are unwell, housebound or living in care homes.
People who cannot travel at short notice because of work, cost or family commitments.
Loved ones who want the option to watch the funeral later, in their own time, as part of their grieving.
Wider communities – for example, church members, colleagues or friends who would like to pay their respects but cannot attend on the day.
If you are not sure whether funeral live streaming is right for your situation, my guide on how funeral live streaming works explains what to expect and the different options available.
What My Funeral Live Streaming Includes
High-definition funeral live streaming
Every funeral I stream is broadcast in 1080p high definition, so family and friends watching remotely can clearly see everything throughout the service. My professional setup ensures a stable, respectful broadcast from start to finish.
Simple viewing link for family and friends
I provide an easy viewing link that works on any device. There are no apps to install or accounts to create — viewers simply click the link on their phone, tablet, laptop or smart TV to watch the funeral online.
Two‑camera professional coverage
Every funeral I stream uses a two-camera setup as standard. One camera provides a wide view of the ceremony while the second captures closer moments — creating a more complete and engaging experience and ensuring nothing is missed.
Clear audio and professional setup
Audio is just as important as video. I carefully position microphones so that readings, tributes, prayers and music are captured clearly for those watching remotely, with everything set up discreetly before the service begins.
Streaming from almost any funeral location
I regularly stream more complex services — including graveside and outdoor funerals, where sound, wind and mobile coverage need careful management, and military funerals, where timing, protocol and discretion are especially important. I bring my own professional bonded 4G/5G mobile internet to every service, so I'm never dependent on the venue's Wi-Fi. This means I regularly stream from rural churches, countryside crematoria, gravesides, woodland burial grounds and other outdoor locations where fixed internet is not available.
If either of these applies to the service you are arranging, you may find my guides to live streaming a graveside funeral and how to live stream a military funeral helpful.
Watch live or on demand
Family and friends can watch the funeral live in real time, wherever they are in the world. The recording also remains available online for up to 12 months, so loved ones can revisit the service or watch it later if they could not join live.
To see how different services are set up and filmed, visit my funeral streaming examples page, which includes services from churches, crematoria and cemeteries across the UK.
How My Funeral Streaming Works On The Day
Booking My Funeral Streaming services
When you decide to go ahead, I keep the process as simple as possible. I send you a link to a short online booking form which collects the key details of the funeral so I can confirm availability and get everything in the diary.
After this, I send a brief questionnaire, contract and payment link that clearly sets out what we have agreed. Once this is completed, you can send me a photograph of the person whose funeral it is, which I can include on the viewing page if you wish.
Planning and setup
Before the day, I check the arrangements with you and, where needed, with your funeral director and the venue. I also prepare the live viewing link, which you can share with family and friends. You choose whether you would like the link to be open or more restricted.
On the day, I arrive early to set up discreetly and test the cameras, microphones and internet connections before any guests arrive.
Going live
I usually start the funeral live stream around 20 minutes before the service begins, so viewers have time to connect, test their sound and settle. Throughout the service I manage the stream, switching between camera angles and — where arranged — covering more than one location such as church and crematorium or graveside.
If you provide an order of service as a PDF, I can make this available alongside the video so online viewers can follow the service easily.
Watching Online
Viewers simply click the link you share with them and watch on their phone, tablet, laptop or smart TV. There are no apps or accounts to create — just a device with an internet connection. A built-in message area allows people to leave condolences and messages of support for the family while they watch.
After the service
After the funeral, the full recording remains available online for up to 12 months. You also receive a downloadable 1080p HD copy of the stream to keep as a lasting record.
Where available, I can also provide viewing statistics — showing how many people watched and from which countries they joined — which many families find comforting.
Working With Funeral Directors
I work regularly alongside funeral directors across the UK, providing professional funeral live streaming that complements the service they are delivering for families. Many of the funerals I stream come through funeral director recommendations, and I understand how important it is to be reliable, discreet and easy to work with on the day.
I'm happy to liaise directly with your funeral director to coordinate timings, venue access and any specific requirements, so families don't have to manage that communication themselves.
If you are a funeral director looking for a trusted streaming partner, I'd be glad to talk through how we can work together.
Where I Provide Funeral Streaming
I provide professional funeral streaming across London and much of central and southern England, covering services in churches, crematoria, cemeteries, natural burial grounds, gravesides, military settings and family homes.
Many of the funerals I stream take place in London and the surrounding areas, as well as across Derbyshire, Oxfordshire, Leicestershire and the routes in between. Recent services have included funerals in South and Central London, Dorking, Croydon and Surrey, alongside regular work in and around Leicester and Derbyshire.
I also travel further afield when families need me — including Yorkshire, Wales, Devon and Scotland, with services such as multi-day Hindu funerals in Edinburgh and streamed services in Newport, Leeds and York. If you would like to see the specific areas I cover, my funeral streaming near me page lists recent locations and examples from across the country.

Is Funeral Live Streaming Appropriate?
Many families worry whether funeral streaming is the right thing to do. They want to include people who cannot attend, but also want to make sure the day still feels respectful, private and focused on the people in the room.
I've worked across a wide range of services — from small family funerals and natural burials to large Caribbean, African and military services in churches, cathedrals, crematoria and at the graveside. My approach is quiet, documentary and focused entirely on making sure the people who can't be there in person still feel part of the day, without drawing attention or altering the tone of the service for those in the room.
The cameras are set up discreetly before guests arrive, and the stream is shared only with the people you choose. For most families, the stream becomes an important part of how they include everyone who mattered, while keeping the service itself calm, focused and respectful.
If you are unsure, my article Is it respectful to live stream a funeral? looks at the question in more depth. I also write about the importance of live streaming funerals and the support it can offer to people grieving from a distance.

How much does Funeral Streaming Cost In The UK?
My funeral live streaming services start from £650 for a single location. The final cost depends mainly on where the funeral is taking place, how long the service lasts, whether there is more than one venue, and whether you would like any additional options.
There are no viewing charges for guests — once the service is booked, family and friends can watch using the link you share with them.

Funeral Live Streaming and Funeral Videography
Funeral live streaming is usually chosen when you want people to be part of the service in real time — especially relatives abroad, those who are unwell, or anyone who cannot travel at short notice. Funeral videography is often preferred when families would like a more cinematic, edited film of the day to keep and revisit.
Many families choose both — I live stream the service for people watching online in real time, and also create a separate funeral film that brings together the key moments of the day in a more polished way.
If you are deciding between the two, my guide on funeral filming vs live streaming explains the main differences and when each option works best.
Frequently Asked Questions About Funeral Live Streaming
Can we watch the funeral live stream later?
Yes. Every funeral I stream is also recorded, so you can watch it back afterwards if you miss part of the live broadcast or want to revisit the service. The viewing page is normally available for up to 12 months, and a downloadable copy is included for the family to keep. For more detail on how replay works, see my guide Can you watch a funeral live stream later?
Who can see the funeral live stream?
You decide. Most families choose a simple viewing link — anyone with the link can watch, which works well when there is a wide circle of friends, colleagues or community members. If you prefer a more private approach, I can provide a restricted link so that only invited people can view. I'll talk through the options with you in advance so you can choose what feels right.
How do people watch the funeral online?
Viewers simply click the link you share and watch on their phone, tablet, laptop or smart TV. There are no apps or accounts to create — just an internet connection and a device with sound. Before the day, I give you simple instructions you can pass on to family and friends, and I'm on hand to help if anyone has trouble connecting.
What happens if the internet fails at the venue?
I bring my own professional streaming equipment and mobile internet to every service and always test the connection before the service starts. In the rare event of a problem with the live connection, the service is still recorded locally so nothing is lost. If a connection drops briefly, viewers will usually see the stream resume automatically. If a more serious issue occurs, I upload the full recording as soon as possible so people can watch it back on the same viewing page.
Can you stream both the church and the crematorium or graveside?
Yes, in many cases. I regularly provide funeral streaming across more than one location — a church service followed by a crematorium committal, or a chapel service followed by a graveside burial. Whether this is possible depends on the timings, locations and travel distance between venues. When you get in touch, I can advise on what is realistic for your specific arrangements.
How much does funeral streaming cost?
Funeral live streaming typically starts from £650 for a single location. The exact price depends on where the funeral is taking place, how long the service lasts, whether there is more than one venue, and any additional options. For a full breakdown, see my guide “How much does funeral live streaming cost in the UK?”
Is funeral live streaming respectful?
Yes. When handled properly, funeral live streaming is a very respectful way to include people who cannot be there in person. I work discreetly, keep equipment as unobtrusive as possible, and cooperate closely with the celebrant and funeral director. My article “Is it respectful to live stream a funeral? ” explains this in more detail.
Do you only offer live streaming, or can you also film the funeral?
I provide both professional funeral live streaming and cinematic funeral videography. Live streaming is usually chosen when people need to watch online in real time; a filmed funeral is often preferred when families want a more edited record of the day to keep. My guide Funeral filming vs live streaming explains the differences and when each works best.
How far in advance do we need to book?
I recommend getting in touch as soon as you know the likely date and time — funerals are often arranged at short notice and I will always confirm availability quickly. Even if your date is very soon, it is still worth asking. I'm often able to help at short notice, particularly across London and the surrounding areas.
How do we book or check availability?
Call or text me on 07772 509101, or fill in the enquiry form on this page. I'll confirm the details with you, answer any questions, and send a simple booking form, questionnaire, contract and payment link so everything is clear and in writing. Once confirmed, I handle all aspects of the streaming on the day so you can focus entirely on the funeral itself.
