FUNERAL WAKE TV HIRE SERVICES FOR FAMILIES ACROSS THE UK
After the formality of the service, the wake is where people finally start to talk. Old friends find each other, family catch up, and the stories begin. It's often where the real celebration of a life happens, and the right music, a few heartfelt speeches and the photos on a big screen all help that happen.
I'm Darren, and since 2017 I've provided AV support for wakes and receptions in pubs, hotels, golf clubs, village halls and family homes across the UK. I bring everything needed and run it all for you, so you can be with the people who loved them.
How I can help at the wake
Your tribute video on a big screen. Large, sharp screens so everyone can see the photos and tribute video clearly, from anywhere in the room. A slideshow playing quietly on a loop helps the stories flow. Guests often call friends over to look at a photo from years ago, and I've lost count of the wakes where people have taken photos of the screen to keep.
Music and speeches. A PA system and wireless microphones, so their favourite music can play in the background and every speech and memory can be heard by everyone, even in a busy room.
The tribute video itself. If you don't have one yet, I can make it for you. Just email over your photos and choose the music. If some of your photos are prints, I can scan those too.
We do it all for you
- We arrive early and set up the screens and sound before anyone arrives
- We play your tribute video from our own reliable equipment, not a USB stick in the TV, so it never freezes or jumps out of order
- We look after the music and microphones throughout, so speeches are heard and the music sits just right
- We pack down quietly when the wake is over
Just text me the date, the venue and what you'd like, and I'll come back to you, usually within minutes.
Wakes and receptions: your questions answered
Can I hire a TV for a wake?
Yes. I supply large, sharp screens for wakes and receptions in pubs, hotels, golf clubs, village halls and family homes, and I set up and run everything for you.
Can I show a tribute video at the wake?
Yes. I can play your tribute video on a big screen so everyone can see it clearly, and a photo slideshow can play quietly on a loop throughout, helping guests share memories.
Can I have a tribute video made for the wake?
Yes. Just email over your photos and choose the music, and I'll make a tribute video for you. If some of your photos are prints, I can scan those too.
Can I just plug a USB stick with photos into the TV?
I'd advise against it. The media players built into TVs often freeze, loop incorrectly or show photos out of order, usually at the worst moment. I play every slideshow from my own reliable equipment, so it runs smoothly from start to finish.
Can I have music playing at the wake?
Yes. I supply a PA system so their favourite music can play in the background, at just the right volume for people to chat and share memories.
Can I have speeches at the wake?
Yes. I provide wireless microphones and speakers, so every speech, toast and memory can be heard by everyone, even in a busy room.
Can I have screens and sound at both the funeral and the wake?
Yes. I can provide screens and sound at both the service and the wake, so everything is ready and working in both places.
Can you set it all up and pack it away?
Yes. We arrive early to set up the screens and sound, look after everything during the wake, and pack down quietly when it's over. You don't have to do a thing.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the venue, the number of screens, and whether you'd like sound or a tribute video made. Text me the date, the venue and what you'd like, and I'll send you a clear quote, usually within minutes.
How do I book?
Text or call Darren on 07766 754944 with the date, the venue and what you'd like. I usually reply within minutes.
