Professional Funeral Live Streaming Across the UK
When someone you love dies, distance should not stop family and friends from being part of the funeral. Funeral live streaming allows those who are overseas, unwell or unable to travel to watch the service as it happens.
I provide professionally managed funeral streaming throughout the UK, covering churches, crematoriums, gravesides, woodland burials and family homes.
From £650 for a single location.
Two-camera 1080p coverage with professional sound, bonded 4G/5G and Starlink where needed.
A private viewing page, playback after the service and three months of online hosting.
A downloadable HD recording for the family to keep permanently.
No charge for guests to watch.

What is Funeral Live Streaming?
Funeral live 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.

Why Choose Professional Funeral Live Streaming?
Families usually look at three options:
These are usually a single camera at the back of a church or crematorium chapel. The angle is limited, the sound is often picked up from the room rather than from dedicated microphones, and the recording may only stay online for a short time. This can work for a simple service, but it is less reliable when people are watching from overseas or when the venue has poor lighting and audio.
Fixed Venue Camera
A phone, tablet or laptop can work in perfect conditions. In practice, battery life, weak signal, thick church walls, outdoor gravesides and the pressure of managing it on the day often make it unreliable. It also takes attention away from the funeral itself at a time when the family should not have to worry about the technology.
DIY Streaming
This is the service I provide as a professional funeral streaming company. It includes two or more professional HD cameras, dedicated microphones for the officiant, speakers and music, bonded 4G/5G internet and Starlink where needed, a private viewing page, playback after the service, and a full HD recording available for 3 months. The stream is set up and managed so the family does not have to think about cameras, signal or who can watch.
For most families, the difference is reliability, sound quality and peace of mind — especially when relatives are watching from other countries, the venue has little or no signal or when the service moves from church to graveside.

The final cost depends on the venue, service duration, travel requirements, additional locations and whether funeral videography or photography is included.

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.
