Professional Funeral Live Streaming Across the UK
Funeral live streaming lets family and friends who can't be there watch the service as it happens, from anywhere in the world. Over the past ten years I've covered more than 2,500 funerals across the UK. I attend every stream myself and manage the whole day, from the first phone call to the recording afterwards.
Funeral streaming brings relatives who are overseas, unwell or unable to travel into the service, so they can be part of the day and say goodbye.
From £650 for one location
Two professional cameras and dedicated microphones at every speaking point
Four bonded 4G/5G connections, with Starlink satellite where there's no signal. I never rely on venue Wi-Fi.
A private viewing link, free for guests, with no limit on viewers
Playback on the same link for 3 months, and an HD recording to download and keep
Fully licensed with PRS for Music, so hymns and songs can be streamed
Short-notice bookings welcome, even the next day if I'm free
What is Funeral Live Streaming?
Funeral live streaming is a live broadcast of a funeral to a private web page. Family and friends open the link on a phone, tablet, computer or smart TV and watch in real time, with no app or account. Afterwards the same link plays the recording, so anyone in another time zone can watch later.
Can any funeral be live streamed? Yes. Churches, cemeteries, natural burial grounds, homes and halls can all be streamed, even with no Wi-Fi or signal.

What My Funeral Streaming Service Includes
Two cameras as standard, streaming in 1080p HD, and a third where the venue needs it
A full sound setup, with microphones at every speaking point and a vision mixer to switch between cameras
A dedicated viewing page through Boxcast with your loved one's photo, name and service details, private or open, with no adverts and only people with the link able to join
The stream opens about 20 minutes before the service
Four bonded 4G/5G internet connections, with Starlink satellite where there's no signal
A full-quality backup recording on a separate device, so if the mobile signal drops across the area, nothing is lost and the whole service can be uploaded afterwards
The recording online for 3 months, so guests can rewatch the funeral, plus a free HD download for the family to keep
The option to play a funeral slideshow in the service and on the stream
How Much Does Funeral Live Streaming Cost?
My funeral live streaming starts from £650 for one location, such as a church, cemetery, natural burial ground or celebration of life venue. It sits at the high end of funeral live streaming production, and everything listed above is included in the price, with no charge for anyone watching.
Prices
One location: from £650
Each extra location (graveside, wake or reception): from £250
Starlink satellite, only where the venue has no usable signal: +£75
Longer services: quoted for the extra time
Guests watching: free, with no limit on viewers
I can follow the funeral from the church to the graveside and on to the wake, with two cameras and my own internet, and your recording stays online for 3 months.
There's no travel limit. I've covered funerals in Scotland, Wales, London and Plymouth. You can also add funeral videography, funeral photography, an overflow room or AV support.

What Families and Funeral Directors Say
Constantly rated five star on Google ★★★★★
"There is no doubt in my mind that he is one of the best in the business. He is meticulous, knowledgeable and produces a very professional funeral streaming."
Paul Fisher, Funeral Director
"The streaming was absolutely fine even though there wasn't any sort of internet available in the church - it was all done via 4G. We had over 120 devices connected to the stream and a huge number of positive comments from people who were really pleased to be able to join the service, even though they were not able to be there in person."
Dan Waldman
How Funeral Streaming Works
Before the funeral
Send me the date, time and venue and I'll confirm availability with a clear quote. You can book through your funeral director or directly with me. Once you've booked, I'll send you the viewing link to share with guests a few days ahead.
On the day
I arrive two and a half to three hours before the service begins, setting up and checking where the signals are coming from. I'm always early, and I always text you to let you know I've arrived. All of that care, and making sure you're at ease, is included.
After the funeral
The recording is on the same link straight away for 3 months, with an HD copy to download and keep.
What guests need to know
There's no app, account or payment. Guests just open the link.
Anyone who joins late can rewind to the start.
To watch on a TV, use the TV's browser, AirPlay, Chromecast or an HDMI cable.

Funeral Streaming Where There's No Wi-Fi or Signal
Old stone churches, woodland burial grounds and even London venues like Highgate Cemetery can have almost no signal, so I always bring my own connection. For most venues I bond four mobile networks. Where there's no usable signal at all, I use Starlink, which only needs a clear view of the sky. I've used it for a funeral in a walled garden in Little Venice, London.
Tell me the venue and I'll check it and tell you honestly what's realistic. Read more about satellite funeral streaming.
Church, Graveside and Reception on One Link
I regularly stream the church, then the graveside, then the wake, and guests use the same link all day. There's a short pause while I move, so allow an extra 15–20 minutes between the church and the graveside. My equipment runs on batteries and brings its own internet, so it works in open cemeteries and natural burial grounds. See live streaming a graveside or outdoor funeral.

Overflow Rooms, Screens and Sound
I can also live stream the service to a second room, so if your church or venue can't fit everyone in, extra guests can still watch together on a big screen with clear sound. See my funeral overflow rooms for how it works.
Funerals of Every Faith and Culture
I've streamed quiet graveside burials, Jamaican and Caribbean celebrations that last several hours, military funerals, Greek and Ethiopian Orthodox services, African church services with hundreds of mourners, Sikh, Muslim, Jewish and Hindu funerals, and LGBTQ+ celebrations of life.
