Global outreach for grieving families and friends

Typically, the only way distant family members, friends, and anyone else who cares can say goodbye to a loved one is by making a phone call, sending a card or flowers, or passing on their condolences and condolences. Well not yet. Now, thanks to the latest webcasting technologies, anyone from all over the world can be there to experience the entire service from the comfort of their own home.

Hiring a live streaming service provider is the easiest way to stream a memorial service. Today, a home computer, iPad, Android tablet, or smartphone can deliver high-quality HD video, allowing you to create content without the need for expensive video equipment. Cloud streaming services were designed to accommodate anyone who is unable to attend a funeral or special event due to health, distance, cost, or work concerns.

Most service providers create a personalized, secure website for private viewing and send their guests an email that includes a link to the site, a user ID and password, and instructions on how to view the ceremony. Also, viewers can chat with each other, so it becomes interactive.

Helping people heal through remote engagement

As our lives become more demanding and the distances between loved ones grow, it is not always possible to attend a funeral due to poor health, distance, cost or work. However, webcasting services overcome these barriers by providing a live streaming platform for family and friends to participate in the memorial service.

Some funeral directors suggest that sharing condolences with family members may be more important to the grieving process than witnessing the actual service.

A discreet video camera can be set up to film a funeral, which is then broadcast online on a password-protected site for the benefit of mourners who were unable to attend.

A live streaming specialist can webcast the funeral to any internet-connected device (for example, PC, iPad, Android tablet, or smartphone) so the memorial service can be viewed live from the comfort of home of the remote viewer.

Built for the non-technical user

How simple is the memorial broadcasting service? As the funeral is about to begin, viewers click the link included in their email invitation. Then, through the high-speed Internet connection, they can see the entire service, visually and aurally. That’s all about it. And that’s just one of the reasons more and more families are asking funeral directors about this perfect new option that can bring people together like never before.

An emerging movement

Live webcasting is becoming more prevalent in the funeral industry. Why? For less than the cost of a single plane ticket, family, friends and other supporters can watch a high-quality broadcast of a memorial service from the comfort of their home or on the go. There is no need to miss another funeral, ever again.
