Hello, I'm Darren
For years I've run an audio-visual and video production company, filming events and providing sound and screens. Back in 2017, before live streaming was something most people had heard of, families started asking us for help with funerals: a film of the service to keep, speakers outside a church so the crowd could hear, or a TV to relay the service to people who couldn't fit inside. We realised we had exactly the skills and equipment to help, and Funeral AV was born.
Since then we've helped over 2,500 families across the UK. Being trusted with a funeral or memorial is something I never take for granted. It's an honour to help a family on one of the hardest days of their lives, and to make sure nobody who loves the person is left out.
What I do is simple to explain: I make sure everyone can see, hear and be part of the day. That might mean a live stream for relatives on the other side of the world, big screens and speakers so a packed church or marquee can follow every word, a tribute video of your photos, or a film and photographs to keep. I bring everything with me, including my own internet for churches with no signal, and quietly make it all work, so you can focus on saying goodbye.
Have a look at the services below to see how I can help, or if you'd rather just talk it through, send me a text. Tell me the date and the venue, and I'll come back to you, usually within minutes.

Really excellent sound quality, good framing and intercutting between cameras. Thank you as well for setting up in good time and delivering the streamed video whilst being so unobtrusive.
Please let me know where we can best post a great review. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Common questions
Can you film a funeral?
Yes. Filming a funeral is now common, and most churches, chapels and venues are happy for it to happen when it's done discreetly. It's always best to check with the minister or venue first, and I'm happy to do that for you. I film quietly from the back or side, with no lights and nothing moving during the service.
Should you film a funeral?
It's a personal choice. Many families are glad they did: a recording means relatives who couldn't be there can see the service, and it becomes a precious record of the tributes and everyone who came. If you're unsure, a simple wide shot of the service is a gentle middle ground.
How do you play music at a funeral?
Most churches and venues can play recorded music, but sound quality varies and many village churches have little or no sound system. I can bring speakers and play your chosen songs from a laptop or phone, so every piece of music sounds clear, inside and outside the venue.
Can you play any song at a funeral?
Usually, yes, especially at crematoria, celebrations of life and wakes. Some churches prefer hymns or sacred music during the service itself, particularly at a Catholic funeral Mass, so check with the minister. A favourite song can often be played at the end, or at the wake instead.
Can I play copyrighted music at a funeral in the UK?
Playing music at the service is usually fine, as most churches, crematoria and venues hold the licences needed. Including recorded music in a live stream or a recording you share can need separate permission, so let me know your music choices and I'll advise on what's best.
What is a funeral PA system, and do we need one?
A PA system is a set of speakers and microphones so everyone can hear speeches, readings and music clearly. You'll want one if the church has no sound system, if the funeral is outdoors or at a graveside, or if there will be people standing outside or in an overflow area.
Can I hire a TV for a funeral?
Yes. I hire large TV screens from 45 to 86 inches across the UK, including a super-bright outdoor screen that's easy to see even in daylight. They're ideal for showing a tribute video or slideshow, or for relaying the service live to a hall or marquee. I deliver, set up and test everything, and take it all away afterwards. See TV hire for funerals.
How much does a funeral photographer cost?
My funeral photography starts from £595, including edited high-resolution photos within 3 to 5 days, and travel. Live streaming also starts from £595.
Can you provide a funeral photographer and videographer together?
Yes. Many families book photography alongside live streaming or filming, so they have both a film of the service and photos of the day to keep.
