Professional Funeral Live Streaming Across the UK
Funeral live streaming lets family and friends who can't attend a service watch it live online, in real time, from anywhere in the world. I provide professional AV Hire and multi-camera setups for funeral streaming across London and across the UK, from £650, with more than 2,500 funerals covered over the past ten years.
When someone you love dies, distance shouldn't keep the people who loved them away. Streaming brings those who are overseas, unwell, or simply unable to travel into the service as it happens — so they can be part of the day, and say goodbye, from wherever they are.
I cover churches, crematoria, gravesides, woodland burials and family homes nationwide, and every stream is handled personally by me, from the first phone call to the recording afterwards.

What is Funeral Live Streaming?
Funeral streaming allows family and friends who cannot attend in person to watch the service as it happens on a phone, tablet, computer or compatible smart TV. Professional cameras and microphones capture the ceremony, which viewers watch through a private link. A recording is also provided to watch afterwards and download to keep.
Real World Examples of Funerals I've Live Streamed
These examples show how I adapt the coverage to different venues, traditions and practical challenges—from rural churches with poor reception to services taking place across several locations.
A rural church with almost no mobile signal: A funeral at a thousand-year-old Norman church near Crawley, streamed to family in England, Scotland, Australia and Canada.
A Zimbabwean funeral in London: A service at the Church of the Holy Apostles in Pimlico, watched by 571 people across nine countries.
A Jamaican funeral across multiple locations: The Rock Church in Walthamstow and the burial, with relatives watching from Jamaica, the USA, Australia and Grenada.
A military funeral with ceremonial honours: A service at Wellington Barracks in London, capturing the ceremony and military honours.
A celebration of life with an international audience: A service at the London Rowing Club, streamed to family and friends in 27 countries.

What is the best way to live stream a funeral?
The best way is a professional funeral live stream: two cameras, dedicated audio, your own internet, and a viewing link the family control. Families usually weigh up three options.
Fixed Venue Camera
Often a single camera fixed at the back of the church or crematorium, with limited angles, average sound, and a recording that may only stay online for a short time. It covers that one room and nothing else — no graveside, no reception, no second location.
DIY Streaming
A phone, tablet or laptop can work in perfect conditions, but battery life, poor audio and weak signal make it unreliable — especially in older churches with thick walls, or outdoors in remote locations. It also takes someone's attention away from the funeral at the very moment they should be present.
Professional Funeral Streaming
Two HD cameras, dedicated microphones, bonded 4G/5G and Starlink where needed, a viewing page the family control, and a full HD recording available for 3 months and downloadable to keep permanently.
For most families the difference is reliability and peace of mind — particularly when people are watching from other countries, when the venue has poor signal, or when the service moves from church to graveside.
What Funeral Live Streaming Includes
Discreet setup using two professional fixed cameras and streaming in 1080p
Dedicated microphones for the officiant, speakers and music
Bonded 4G/5G internet across multiple networks to prevent the stream from dropping

A viewing page for family and friends — either password-protected or openly shareable, depending on what the family prefers
Viewers can watch on a phone, tablet or computer through a browser, no special software is required
You can rewatch a Live Stream after the service, and receive a free downloadable full-HD recording.
3 months of online hosting
The option to include a funeral slideshow in the stream
I never rely on venue Wi-Fi.
How Much Does Funeral Streaming Cost in the UK?
Funeral live streaming starts from £650 for a single location.
That includes two cameras, professional audio, bonded internet, a private viewing page, three months of hosting so you can rewatch the live stream afterwards. A downloadable HD copy is provided for the family to keep permanently. There is no charge for guests to watch.
The final cost depends on the venue, service duration, travel requirements, additional locations and whether funeral videography or photography is included.
For more information, see my guide to how much funeral streaming costs.
Chosen by a Hollywood Director of Photography
“My friend George Richmond, the Director of Photography for the Marvel movie Deadpool, took on the responsibility of selecting a videographer for my husband’s funeral. He chose you out of everyone he looked at, and I am immensely grateful for that decision.
Your work is truly remarkable — from the beautiful opening shots to the impeccable sound quality and the finer details throughout. The way you captured the vibrant blue sky was touching, especially since my husband had such an affection for blue skies. My heartfelt thanks for everything you’ve done.”
Can You Live Stream a Funeral Where There’s No Wi-Fi or Signal?
Yes. Limited connectivity does not have to prevent family and friends from watching the funeral. Rural churches, cemeteries and natural burial grounds can be challenging places to stream from, particularly where thick stone walls, valleys or woodland weaken mobile reception.
I bring my own internet connections rather than relying on the venue’s Wi-Fi. Multiple mobile networks are bonded together for greater resilience, and where there is no usable mobile signal, I can use Starlink satellite internet, provided a suitable position with a clear view of the sky is available. I’ve successfully streamed from remote rural locations and a private walled garden in Central London where there was no usable 4G/5G signal.
If you are concerned about connectivity, send me the venue details. I will assess the location and plan the most appropriate solution before the day.
Funeral Streaming at Church, Graveside and Reception
Funeral live streaming does not have to end when the church service finishes. I regularly provide coverage across multiple locations, including churches, crematoriums, gravesides and reception venues.
Each changeover is planned around the funeral’s timings and travel between venues. My battery-powered equipment allows me to work without relying on venue power, while my own internet connections support streaming at each location.
After the service, I pack down, travel to the next venue and set up again. Family and friends use the same private viewing link throughout the day, so there is no need to find a different page for the burial or reception. There may be a pause in coverage while I move between locations, with the broadcast resuming once the next setup is ready.
How Funeral Live Streaming Works
Before the Funeral
Send me the date, time and venue, and I’ll confirm availability with a clear quote. Once booked, you receive a viewing link to share with family and friends. You can choose a password-protected page or a link that is easier to share more widely.
On the Day
I arrive early, position the cameras discreetly and test the sound and internet connection before guests arrive. The broadcast usually opens around 20 minutes before the service.
I manage the stream throughout. Coverage at a second venue, such as the graveside or reception, can also be arranged, with any changeover planned in advance.
After the Funeral
The recording is available on the same viewing page after the service. Family and friends can watch it again, and an HD copy can be downloaded to keep permanently.
The viewing page remains online for three months.
How to Watch a Funeral Live Stream
Once the booking is confirmed, I send the family a private viewing link to share with relatives and friends anywhere in the world. Guests simply open it on a phone, tablet, computer or compatible smart TV. No app, download or account is needed.
The broadcast usually opens around 20 minutes before the funeral, with a personalised holding screen so viewers know they are in the right place.
Afterwards, the same link can be used to watch the recording and the family can download the HD copy. The viewing page remains available for three months, and the downloaded recording is yours to keep permanently.

Is Funeral Live Streaming Private?
The family chooses who can watch. A password-protected viewing page offers more control over access, while a link without a password is easier to share with relatives and friends. Anyone who receives a link without password protection may be able to watch and pass it on, so an unlisted page is not the same as a password-protected one.
Unless the family requests a public broadcast, I set the viewing page to discourage search-engine indexing and do not promote it publicly.
Funeral Live Streaming vs Funeral Videography
Funeral live streaming allows family and friends to watch the service as it happens. A HD recording is also provided to watch afterwards and download to keep.
Funeral videography creates a carefully edited 4K cinematic film of the service or wider day, bringing together meaningful moments into a lasting record.
The services can be booked together. Explore my funeral videography service for more information.
Where I Provide Funeral Streaming Services
I provide professional funeral live streaming throughout the UK, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Yorkshire, the South East, Scotland, Wales and Nationwide.
From city-centre churches to rural cemeteries and natural burial grounds, I travel to the venue and bring the equipment needed for the service.
Explore my funeral streaming locations, or get in touch if your area is not listed.
Can You Live Stream a Funeral Service That Includes Copyrighted Music?
Yes. I hold a full PRS for Music licence, paid and in place, covering the live streaming of funeral services nationwide. In the UK, streaming a service that includes music online requires the right music licence — and because a funeral is an event with music as part of it, rather than a music broadcast in its own right, having the correct licence in place means the whole service can be streamed properly and legally, exactly as it happens.
Churches and celebrants often ask whether a streamer is licensed, and many aren't.
With me, it's fully covered — whatever songs, hymns or music form part of the service, there's nothing for the church, the celebrant or the family to arrange or worry about. I'm happy to provide my streaming licence and certificate on request.
