Funeral Live Streaming, Photography & Videography in Nottingham & Nottinghamshire
I stream funerals right across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire — from city churches in Nottingham and West Bridgford to village services out toward Newark, Southwell and Bingham, and the busier towns like Beeston, Arnold, Hucknall and Mansfield in between. Little village churches, big city ones, the odd celebration of life somewhere unexpected — I've done a lot of them here over the years, and I still do.
Churches, gravesides, crematoriums, alternative venues — wherever the service is being held, our funeral streaming services can stream it. I can live stream from just about anywhere and help however's needed, whether that's a full church, a quiet graveside, or somewhere that just meant something to the person you've lost.
I also do funeral photography and videography if you want them, and the streaming itself, all handled by me and my team.
Beeston Methodist Church — today, as it happens
I streamed a funeral this morning at Beeston Methodist, on Chilwell Road. The church was full, which is always a great thing to see — it tells you everything about what people thought of the man whose funeral it was.
Because it was so busy, two cameras wouldn't have done it justice, so I ran three. Two downstairs, moving between the minister, the family speaking, the congregation, the coffin. And a third up on the balcony, which is the one that earns its keep on a day like this — it sits back and gives you the whole room, everyone in it, in one sweep. For someone watching on a laptop in Australia, that shot is the difference between seeing a service and feeling like they were sat at the back of it.
The minister was lovely and led it gently, two of the sons stood up and spoke about their dad, and the congregation sang right the way through, the way they do when a church is that full. Afterwards they went on to the crematorium.
Thirty-three devices watched it live — England, Ireland, and one over in Victoria, Australia. That's who this is really for: the ones who can't be in the room. And it stays up for a year, so anyone who couldn't be there when it happened can still sit down and watch it properly, in their own time.
What you get when booking our Funeral Streaming Services
Two cameras as standard, three when the service needs it — a full church usually does
HD, 1080p, so it actually looks like something
Proper microphones on the minister and wherever people are speaking from, because sound is the thing people forget and then miss most
Four internet connections bonded into one, so it holds up even where the signal's rough — I never rely on the venue's Wi-Fi
A private link — only the people you send it to can watch
The recording ready straight after
Kept online for twelve months, and a copy that's yours to download and keep
Want funeral photography or a proper cinematic funeral video of the day as well or a tribute slideshow or Audio Visuals such as TV’s or a Sound System at the venue.
Difficult Venues Where Signals are difficult Are No Problem
Old churches are some of my favourite places to film and, funnily enough, some of the hardest — thick stone, lead in the windows, and a signal that dies the second you step inside. It's exactly why you can't trust the building's Wi-Fi, if it even has any. Rural gravesides can be just as tricky, out in the open with barely a bar of signal to work with.
None of it's a problem. I bring my own way in — four mobile connections working as one — and I turn up early to find where it holds. I get set up before anyone arrives, with the cameras placed where they see everything and disturb nothing, because ideally you shouldn't notice me at all. And if it's a big church with a balcony, I'll use it, because that wide, slow look over a full congregation is worth more than any close-up.

Where I go
All over Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. To name a few:
Nottingham itself, and West Bridgford
Beeston, Chilwell, Stapleford
Arnold, Carlton, Gedling
Hucknall, Bulwell, Kimberley
Eastwood, over toward the Erewash side
Mansfield, Sutton and Kirkby
Newark, Southwell, Bingham
Worksop and Retford, up the top end
If you're right on the county line I probably cover your side too — I do a lot over in Derbyshire as well. Wherever it is, we'll sort the travel out before you commit to anything, so there are no surprises.
For the ones who can't get there
That's the real point of all this. Someone's ill, someone's abroad, someone can't get the time off or afford the flight — and streaming means they don't have to miss it. Like this morning: family watching in Ireland and Australia who'd otherwise have had nothing but a phone call afterwards.
You send them a link, they click it, and they watch — phone, tablet, laptop, telly, whatever they've got, with no app or account to set up. And if it's the middle of the night where they are, the recording's there for a year, so they can watch when they're ready to. Have a look at some of our examples on our Funeral Streaming Portfolio page if you want a feel for how it comes out.
