A dignified way to bring people together
Whether guests are interstate, overseas, unwell or otherwise unable to attend, livestreaming allows them to participate in the service from a phone, tablet, computer or compatible television.
Respectful and discreet
Our operators work quietly in the background, with carefully positioned cameras that do not distract from the service.
Clear picture and sound
Professional cameras, microphones and live switching provide a polished experience with clear coverage of readings and eulogies.
Simple for every guest
Family and friends receive an easy-to-share viewing link. Private access can be arranged, with a recording supplied after the service.
Simple, supported and stress-free
We coordinate the practical details from preparation through to delivery of the recording.
Before the service
We confirm your wishes and liaise with the funeral director and venue. For unfamiliar or complex venues, an advance site visit can be arranged to assess access, camera positions and connectivity.
During the service
Our team manages the cameras, sound, live broadcast and technical monitoring from the background using professional equipment.
After the service
A secure recording is made available for viewing or download, allowing family and friends to revisit and share the service privately.

Reliable livestreaming with our own independent connection
We use our own battery-powered Starlink satellite system for funeral livestreams. This provides a fast, stable and highly reliable connection without using the venue’s Wi-Fi, internet connection, power supply or mobile data.
To set up Starlink, we simply need permission to place our compact satellite equipment in a safe outdoor position with a reasonably clear view of the sky. We coordinate the most suitable location with the venue or funeral director before the service.
For additional peace of mind, the complete service is also recorded locally in high quality, independently of the livestream.
Care that people remember
“The images were so crisp and clear we felt like we were actually there, and we could hear everything because the audio was excellent. The coverage was from multiple angles, with the livestream downloadable for years to come.”
“The recording was clear, the camera positions perfect and respectful. Friends who watched remotely mentioned that the livestream was perfect.”
“From start to finish Jason was fantastic, from his professional videography to his compassion for the occasion. The final production was worth every dollar.”
“The team are careful with their presentation at sensitive moments and have the ability to blend into the background, never making the event about them.”
