The Importance of Live Streaming Funerals

In today's interconnected world, the ability to stay connected with loved ones during significant life events has never been more crucial. One such event, where connection and presence are deeply felt, is a funeral. Traditionally, attending a funeral in person has been the primary way to offer support and say goodbye. However, live streaming funerals has emerged as a valuable service, providing numerous benefits for families and friends who cannot attend in person. Here, we discuss the importance of live streaming funerals and how it can bring comfort and connection during difficult times.

Bridging the Distance

One of the most significant benefits of live streaming funerals is the ability to bridge the physical distance between loved ones. In an era where families often live in different cities, countries, or even continents, it can be challenging for everyone to gather in one place. Live streaming allows friends and family from around the world to attend the service virtually, ensuring that no one is left out due to geographical constraints. The Guardian discusses how live-streamed funerals have changed during COVID-19.

This Funeral took place at Pembroke Lodge in London followed by the Burial at Richmond Cemetery. For the day we were asked to provide the photography and Live Funeral Streaming as there were so many people unable to attend. The Funeral was organised by White Rose Modern Funerals and the Service was led by Hannah the Celebrant.

It was such a privilege to be asked to photograph Allan’s Funeral on behalf of his family a couple of weeks ago at St Mary Magdalen Church in Petersfield, Hampshire. It was a lovely celebration of Allan’s Life, the black horse and carriage were the perfect touch as he made his final journey to the church and Rams Hill Cemetery.

It was an absolute privilege to film and photograph this funeral on behalf of this beautiful family. I started the day at St Paul’s Church in Letchworth, Hertfordshire. It was a really cold day, very windy and the rain was trying it’s absolute best to get going, but managed to hold itself whilst family and friends arrived. The ceremony and tributes were really moving and after the service finished we headed off to Icknield Way Cemetery for the burial. Everyone gathered around the grave for the final blessings and then people took it in turns to help back fill the grave whilst others sung gospel songs, which I always love listening too.

This was my first visit as a Funeral Photographer to South Oxfordshire Crematorium and Memorial Park. A beautiful and peaceful place and the perfect setting for this lovely ceremony in Oxfordshire. I was invited to capture this day as the family simply wanted it documenting, capturing the detail and to help remember everyone who attended. It was a lovely ceremony and once we’d finished at South Oxfordshire Crematorium & memorial Park, we headed off to the lovely Denman College for the Wake for jam Scones, cake, sandwiches and tea.

This particular funeral was a Hindu Funeral, which was very beautiful and it took place at Thorncliffe Cemetery and Crematorium in Barrow-in-Furness. Cumbria. The day started at the Co-op Barrow Funeral Care to film the family arriving and the horse and Carriage as it left. Then it was on to Thorncliffe Crematorium for the ceremony. As is custom, this was an open coffin funeral with a lovely Hindu ceremony involving lots of flowers, butter and other traditions. The care and preparation was incredible, truly beautiful to watch and record on behalf of the family and was probably one of the most intricate ceremonies I have had the privilege to attend. This was followed by the wake which took place at the Chetwynde Hotel

“Mrs P” recently passed away but earlier in her life she was a dispatch driver in World War ll where she was responsible for delivering important messages and no doubt encountering plenty of danger along the way. After the war she continued with her fascination and love of motorbikes, so it was fitting that her coffin arrived on a stunning full length Trike hearse. Brilliant!!
