Case Study: When a Broadcasting Industry Leader Chose Funeral AV

A Very Special Funeral Live Stream in the Maidenhead Area

Some funeral services stay with us for many years, not simply because of the equipment involved, but because of the people we meet.

One particularly memorable occasion was when Barry Johnstone (1945–2022) contacted Funeral AV to arrange the funeral of his beloved wife.

Barry was no ordinary client when it came to television production. He was the founder of CTV Outside Broadcasts, later Chairman of EMG UK, and one of the most respected figures in British live television broadcasting.

His career included involvement in the coverage of major sporting events such as the Olympic Games, The Open Championship, the Ryder Cup and many other internationally televised productions.

He understood professional live broadcasting at the highest level.

"I've Looked at Your Website, and You're the Company I'm Going to Use"

When Barry first contacted Funeral AV, he explained that although his family had been considering other providers, he had already made his decision.

He had researched Funeral AV, looked at our work and decided that we were the company he wanted to handle the broadcast of his wife's funeral.

For Darren, having someone with Barry's considerable experience in television broadcasting place that level of trust in Funeral AV was an enormous compliment.

Barry knew exactly what was involved in producing a professional live broadcast. He understood the importance of camera positions, sound quality, reliable connectivity, preparation and experienced technicians.

A Five-Camera Funeral Live Stream with Large TV Screens and Professional Sound

This was a technically demanding funeral requiring considerably more equipment than a standard two-camera funeral live streaming service.

The arrangements included:

  • Five-camera professional funeral live streaming, providing multiple views of the ceremony

  • Large 75-inch television screens for video playback

  • Professional PA systems and microphones to improve sound quality throughout the church

  • Starlink satellite internet to address unreliable mobile reception

  • A pre-event site visit to discuss and plan the technical arrangements

  • Experienced technicians to install, test and manage the equipment

Barry was particularly aware of the mobile signal limitations at the church and wanted the internet arrangements carefully considered.

Our professional funeral streaming services are designed to accommodate anything from straightforward single-camera coverage to complex multi-camera productions.

We also provide large television screen hire for funerals, professional PA systems and audio-visual equipment for larger funeral services.

Careful Planning and Professional Preparation

Barry requested a site visit so that we could discuss the requirements together and plan the installation.

Meeting him was a memorable experience. Despite his extraordinary achievements in broadcasting, he was a genuinely lovely gentleman who knew precisely what he wanted for his wife's funeral.

On the day, we arrived with sufficient time to install the cameras, screens, audio equipment and connectivity systems, test everything and prepare for the service.

There was a considerable amount of equipment involved, but the installation and live broadcast went exactly to plan.

Praise from Someone Who Knew the Broadcasting Industry Inside Out

The following day, Barry telephoned Darren to thank him personally.

He said:

"You are a credit to the industry."

He was delighted with how the service had been handled and offered to provide a testimonial or review whenever needed.

For Funeral AV, receiving that feedback from someone who had spent decades at the highest levels of live television broadcasting was particularly meaningful.

Barry knew what professional broadcast production should look and sound like. His confidence in our work meant a tremendous amount.

Remembering Barry Johnstone

Sadly, only a few months later, Barry himself passed away.

His son subsequently contacted Funeral AV, asking us to support the family once again, this time for Barry's own Thanksgiving Celebration at Wentworth Golf Club.

It was a privilege to be trusted by the family for another important occasion.

Barry will always be remembered by us, both for his remarkable achievements in broadcasting and for the kindness and confidence he showed towards Funeral AV.

What is “online funeral streaming”?

Answer:
Online funeral streaming (or “live‑streaming a funeral” / “virtual funeral”) is a service where a funeral or memorial service is broadcast live over the internet so loved ones who can’t attend in person — perhaps because they live far away, are unwell, or cannot travel — can still “attend” virtually.
It became much more widely used after the COVID‑19 pandemic, and many families now consider it a normal and compassionate option.

How do I get a funeral live‑streamed?

Answer:
Typically, live‑streaming is arranged via Funeral AV or a dedicated streaming provider Funeral AV
The funeral director Funeral AV will often need to coordinate with the venue (e.g. church, crematorium) to ensure permission, and set up the technical infrastructure (cameras, internet, audio, etc.).
If booked in time, they’ll supply a private link (often password‑protected) for remote viewers.

How much does funeral streaming cost (in the UK)?

Answer:
Costs vary depending on what kind of service you choose:

  • A “DIY” streaming option (e.g. streaming via smartphone or simple equipment) may cost relatively little.

  • More professional services — with dedicated cameras, cameras operators, good audio, and a private, managed stream — can be more expensive. For example, some providers list prices around £595 upwards for a “professional” live stream package.

  • For more complex services (multi‑camera, multiple locations, burial + crematorium, etc.) — the price may increase.

Because of the variation, it’s wise to ask the funeral director or streaming provider for a clear, itemised quote.

Is the live stream private and secure — who can watch?

Answer:
Yes — with reputable providers, the stream is typically delivered via a private, unlisted link (often password‑protected). Only people who receive the link (and password) from the family or funeral director can view the service.
This helps ensure privacy and dignity, so the funeral is not broadcast publicly (unless the family chooses it).

Can people watch the funeral later if they missed the live stream?

Answer:
Often yes. Many funeral streaming services record the live stream and make it available as a video after the service ends. Families sometimes receive a downloadable copy (e.g. MP4 or USB) for archiving or sharing.
This is particularly useful for relatives overseas or those who couldn’t watch at the time.

What if the venue has poor internet or no WiFi — can live‑streaming still work?

Answer:
Yes — many funeral‑streaming providers use mobile‑internet bonding: that is, combining signals from several mobile networks (e.g. 4G/5G from different providers) to create a reliable uplink, even where WiFi or wired internet is poor or absent.
They often bring their own equipment and backup power (battery packs), to ensure the stream works and is as stable as possible.

Funeral & Memorial Sound Services

We provide professional PA systems inside churches, complete with an experienced sound technician. We bring our own high-quality microphones and play the chosen music—taking full control so you don’t have to rely on outdated or unreliable church equipment.

Many families ask us to install a PA system just to “play the music” inside the church, because the in-house speakers often sound tinny or fail altogether. We’ve seen countless Bluetooth systems disconnect mid-service—something no one wants on such an important day. We don’t use Bluetooth

We can also provide outside sound relay for overspill mourners, whether that’s just outside the church doors or in a marquee.
Additionally, we can record the audio and provide you with a copy afterwards.

Funeral & Memorial Video Services

  • Live TV Relay: Using our cameras inside the church and our exclusive, super-bright weatherproof TVs (up to 3× brighter than standard models), we can stream the service to a marquee, church hall (up to 300 metres away), or just outside the church.
    These TVs are crystal-clear even in bright daylight—unlike standard TVs, which often appear dull and washed out.

  • Tribute Video Playback: We can supply a large TV inside the church to play tribute videos on cue (which we can also create for you).

  • Pillar-Blocked View Solutions: Live relay inside the church for guests whose view is obstructed.

  • Wake Display: Large TV setup at the wake for photo slideshows or tribute videos.
