The Church has ‘In house’ live streaming… should we just use that ?
Many Churches have installed their own live streaming facilities. This service is OK for Sunday Services which is where they are mainly used but to be used for something as important as a Funeral or Memorial service comes with caveats.
They typically use 1 internet connection which often goes down
Its often just 1 static camera locked off view
Lip sync falling out is frequent
low quality sound and video
too cheap to be good
Often recordings don’t happen for after
Its often as emotionless as a crematorium live stream
Often lots of buffering
The vicar is worrying and panicking that the live stream is not working rather than focusing on the service itself
Personaly I don’t know how they help with burials in the Church yard or burials at Cemeteries after
If you want it to be as beautiful as the service itself which you have put in so much hard work into then you really need a professional company like Funeral AV to do the funeral or memorial live streaming.
Why Professional Funeral & Memorial Streaming Makes All the Difference
In recent years, many churches have begun offering their own live streaming for funeral and memorial services. While this can seem like a convenient option, families are often disappointed when they discover the limitations of in-house streaming – especially for such an important and once-in-a-lifetime occasion.
At Funeral AV, we specialise in professional live streaming that ensures your loved one’s service is captured with care, quality, and reliability – so every friend and family member watching remotely can truly feel part of the day.
1. Multiple Camera Angles – Not Just One Static View
Church streaming setups are often fixed in one position. This means you’ll get a single, wide shot of the whole scene – no close-ups of speakers, no focus on flowers or tributes, no moments captured in detail.
We use multiple professional cameras to create a warm, engaging viewing experience. This lets us capture readings, eulogies, performances, and emotional moments up close, so the stream feels personal rather than distant.
2. Crystal-Clear Sound – Independent of the Church PA
In many church streams, the sound is taken from their PA system – which can mean uneven levels, muffled voices, or music that doesn’t translate well online.
We never rely on the church’s audio system. Instead, we bring our own professional-grade microphones, mixers, and audio equipment designed specifically for live streaming funerals. This means perfectly balanced sound for both speech and music, no matter where in the venue the speaker or musician is positioned.
3. Rock-Solid Streaming – No Buffering, No Dropouts
We don’t rely on the church’s internet connection. Instead, we use our bonded network system, combining 6 4g 5g modems combining 6 networks to deliver a strong, uninterrupted broadcast.
This ensures your loved one’s service streams smoothly in full quality with no buffering, even if one or more networks have issues on the day.
4. Thoughtful Coverage – Tailored to Your Family
Church streams are set up for general services, not specifically for a funeral. They often miss moments such as the arrival of the hearse, placing of flowers, or the final farewell.
We work closely with the family to plan exactly what you want streamed, from the first moment to the last – including any outdoor moments or overspill venues via large screens or outdoor speakers.
5. A Recording You’ll Treasure Forever
Our streams are recorded in high-definition video and crystal-clear audio, giving you a beautiful keepsake to watch back or share with future generations. Many church streams are low resolution and stored for only a short period before being deleted.
In short: Your loved one’s farewell is too important to leave to chance. While church streaming may be available, it’s often designed for convenience rather than quality. With Funeral AV, you get a broadcast your family can be proud of – and a recording you can cherish forever. Contact Funeral AV today, its too late after
