A marquee can be particularly useful when a church or chapel cannot comfortably accommodate everyone wishing to attend a funeral.
Some families arrange an additional marquee within the church grounds or on nearby private land, allowing guests to participate in the service even when the church itself is full.
Other families choose to hold the entire memorial service or celebration of life inside a marquee.
Depending on the location, permission may be required from the landowner, church authorities or other relevant organisations. The marquee company can usually advise on practical requirements, including access, ground conditions and installation.
Funeral AV can provide a live audio and video relay from the church into a nearby marquee, allowing guests outside the main building to follow the service on large TV screens with clear, professionally managed sound.
We can also provide complete audio-visual support when the service itself takes place inside the marquee.
-
One of the most important considerations when organising a funeral or memorial in a marquee is ensuring that everyone can hear and see what is happening.
Marquees don't normally have permanent sound systems or display screens, so additional equipment is often required.
Funeral AV specialises in providing:
Professional PA systems – Clear, evenly distributed sound for speeches, readings, celebrants and music.
Wireless microphones – Handheld and discreet lapel microphones for celebrants, family members and speakers.
Large TV screen hire – Screens suitable for displaying photographs, memorial slideshows, tribute videos and live camera feeds.
Photo tribute videos – Beautifully presented collections of family photographs accompanied by meaningful music.
Music playback – Professionally managed music throughout the service, including entrance and exit music.
Funeral live streaming – Allowing family and friends unable to attend to watch the ceremony remotely.
Church-to-marquee video relay – Live pictures and sound transmitted from the church to an overflow marquee nearby.
Our experienced technicians arrive ahead of the service to install, test and operate the equipment, allowing the family, celebrant and funeral director to concentrate on the occasion itself.
-
Funeral marquee hire prices vary depending on the size of the marquee, location, hire duration and additional requirements.
A small marquee hire for a family gathering will generally cost less than a large structure designed to accommodate 100 or 150 guests.
Flooring, heating, lighting, furniture, delivery and installation can all affect the overall price.
Some marquee companies may offer short-term or one-day marquee hire, although delivery, installation and dismantling schedules can mean the structure needs to remain in place for longer.
As Funeral AV doesn't supply the marquee itself, we recommend obtaining a quotation directly from a specialist marquee hire company.
We can provide a separate quotation for any PA systems, microphones, large TV screens, live streaming or other audio-visual equipment required.

They can also provide additional space when a church or chapel is too small to accommodate everyone attending.
At Funeral AV, we specialise in providing professional funeral marquee hire equipment, including PA systems, wireless microphones, large TV screens, music playback, photo tribute videos and funeral live streaming.
Please note: Funeral AV does not hire out marquees directly. However, we have contacts with independent marquee hire companies and may be able to help you find a suitable supplier covering your area.

Funeral Marquee Hire Near Me – Finding a Suitable Supplier
If you're looking for funeral marquee hire near me, it's important to choose a marquee company that understands the requirements of a funeral, memorial or celebration of life.
Whether you need small marquee hire for an intimate family gathering or a larger marquee for 100, 150 or more guests, the right supplier can advise on the size, layout and facilities required.
Many marquee hire companies can provide:
Small and large marquees for funeral services and receptions

Tables, chairs and seating arrangements
Interior lighting and weather protection
Installation and dismantling
Short-term hire, subject to availability
We can help point families towards independent marquee suppliers covering Berkshire, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey and surrounding areas, where we have suitable contacts.
Funeral AV can then supply the PA systems, microphones, large TV screens and other audio-visual equipment needed inside the marquee.
PA System Hire for Funeral Marquees
Clear sound is essential when holding a funeral or memorial service inside a marquee.
Unlike churches and chapels, marquees rarely have permanently installed sound systems. Without suitable equipment, guests towards the back may struggle to hear the celebrant, family readings, eulogies or music.
Our funeral marquee PA system hire service provides professional sound equipment tailored to the size and layout of your marquee.
We can supply wireless handheld microphones, discreet lapel microphones, speakers and music playback equipment, ensuring that everyone can hear clearly.
Our experienced technicians install, test and operate the equipment throughout the service, taking care of microphone levels, music cues and all other technical requirements.
Large TV Screen Hire for Funeral Marquees
Displaying family photographs, memorial slideshows and tribute videos can be a beautiful way to celebrate someone's life.
Funeral AV provides large TV screen hire for funeral marquees, with screens available in various sizes, including 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch-class and 86-inch displays.
Depending on the marquee layout and number of guests, we can provide one or several screens to ensure everyone has a clear view.
Our screens can be used for:
Memorial photo slideshows
Tribute videos with photographs and music
Family photographs displayed throughout the gathering
Live camera feeds during the service
Live video relays from a nearby church or chapel
We supply the screens, professional stands, cabling and technical installation, with an operator available where required.
Funeral Live Streaming & Church-to-Marquee Video Relay
When a funeral service attracts more guests than a church can accommodate, an additional marquee can provide valuable extra space.
Funeral AV can arrange a live video and sound relay from the church into an overflow marquee, allowing guests to follow the ceremony on large TV screens with clear sound.
We have experience providing live relays over considerable distances, including complex installations where marquees are positioned away from the main church building.
We also offer professional funeral live streaming directly from marquees, allowing family and friends who cannot attend to watch the service remotely.
Our aim is to ensure that everyone can feel included, whether they are inside the church, seated in an overflow marquee or watching from elsewhere.
Marquee Hire for Memorial Services & Celebrations of Life
Not every memorial gathering takes place in a traditional church or chapel.
Families may choose a marquee in a private garden, at a country property, in a field or within the grounds of a hotel or other venue.
A marquee can provide a flexible and personal setting for a celebration of life, thanksgiving service, funeral reception or memorial gathering.
Funeral AV can help with the complete technical side of the occasion, including microphones for speakers, PA systems for music, large screens for photographs and tribute videos, and live streaming where required.
We arrive ahead of the event to install and test the equipment, ensuring everything is ready before family and guests arrive.
How Much Does Funeral Marquee Hire Cost?
If you're researching funeral marquee hire prices, the cost will depend on the size of the marquee, location, hire duration and any additional requirements such as flooring, heating, lighting or furniture.
A small marquee for a private family gathering will usually have different costs from a larger structure designed for 100 or 150 guests.
As Funeral AV doesn't supply the marquee itself, prices and availability should be confirmed directly with the marquee hire company.
We can, however, provide a separate quotation for funeral marquee PA system hire, wireless microphones, large TV screens, live streaming and technical support.
This allows families to arrange the marquee with their chosen supplier while leaving the audio-visual requirements to us.

Whether you require a simple microphone and speaker system, a large TV screen for a photo tribute, or a complete multi-screen and live streaming installation, we can tailor our services to suit the occasion.
Most importantly, we handle the technical arrangements so that families, funeral directors and celebrants can concentrate on the service itself.
