Funeralcast can webcast a professional, high-quality funeral service from any church, chapel, retirement home, or outdoor space. Since 2005 we’ve specialised in live-streaming funerals for thousands of loved ones across Australia.
Our funeral live-streaming services enable friends and family who are unable to attend the funeral in person to still participate in the service, regardless of their location. This is especially important in today's world, where travel restrictions and social distancing measures have made it difficult for people to gather in large groups.
With our high-quality live-streaming technology, we ensure that those who cannot be there in person can still pay their respects and be a part of the ceremony. We are committed to providing a compassionate and reliable service, and we strive to create a meaningful and dignified experience for all who are involved.
Experience matters when it comes to delivering a successful live stream for a funeral. Funeralcast has been providing funeral streaming services for over 18 years. Over that time, we have refined our approach and have become experts in the field. We understand that funeral streaming is not just about technology; it's about capturing the essence of the service and ensuring that those who cannot attend in person still feel connected to the ceremony.
A dedicated web page for an online funeral is a critical component of a seamless and respectful virtual experience. The page should be polished and discreet, with a professional design that reflects the solemnity of the occasion. A large video player is essential, as it enables attendees to view the service in high definition without distractions. Hosting the funeral on YouTube or Facebook can be inappropriate, as these platforms are often associated with casual content and may not provide the privacy and security needed for such an important event. A dedicated web page offers a more controlled environment, ensuring that attendees can focus on the funeral without any unwanted distractions or interruptions.
Good technology is vital for delivering a live stream of a funeral service as it ensures that the service can be viewed by those who are unable to attend in person. The use of high-quality cameras, audio equipment, and reliable streaming hardware encoders can help ensure that the service is streamed smoothly and without interruption, providing a meaningful experience for those watching remotely. Without good technology, there is a risk of technical difficulties or poor quality, which can cause frustration and disappointment for those trying to participate in the service from a distance.
“Thank you for bringing me a little closer to Australia, so I could feel a part of the service for my dear sister”

“Thank you, Funeralcast for organising a live stream and the work to make it a smooth transition from the beach headland to the memorial venue. It was something we did not have to worry or even think about.”

“Thank you for the lovely production of the funeral. It was well received by those relatives overseas who could not make the service”

“I’ve never organised a live stream for a funeral before. How does it work?”
Once a booking is made, we email a link for you to share with family and friends. On the day of the service, our camera operator will arrive one hour prior to begin setup and testing. Once everything is ready, we then broadcast the service to the page we provided you in the link. When the service has finished, we stop the broadcast. Family and friends can view the recording on the same page after the service is over.
“Do we need to provide anything?”
In our booking confirmation email, we will provide a Dropbox link for you to upload the Order of Service and a video tribute (slideshow) if there is one. We look after everything else. We have our own bonded internet equipment to deliver a reliable live stream.
“Do our family and friends need to do anything?”
Family and friends only have to click on the link we send you to view the live stream on any device with a web browser. Tablets and mobiles will work long as they have a reliable connection to the internet.
“How private is the live stream? Can anyone find it on Google?”
Our live streams are hidden from Google searches. If someone tries to Google the deceased's name, our live stream page will not be found in the search results. However, we can provide an additional layer of privacy with a P.I.N
“Can you do a graveside burial or outdoor memorial service?”
Yes, we can live stream from just about anywhere. We specialise in every kind of production requirement, including multi-camera, outside broadcasts and high-level productions for V.I.P’s and large event occasions.
“What is the cost to professionally live stream a funeral?”
This depends on the time, location and complexity of the production. Our live streams start at $1,089.00 for a 75-minute service which includes our on-site camera operator, studio operator and the web page. Every funeral is different; therefore, the best thing to do is call our friendly team on 02 8006 8894 to discuss how we help.
