During the pandemic, Ocean County Cremation Service saw an increase in demand for funeral live streaming, emphasizing the many benefits that can now continue while planning a loved one's funeral. Read on to know more about funeral live streaming or why it is advantageous for ceremonies.

What Is A Funeral Live Streaming?

Live funeral streaming occurs when a ceremony is streamed through video to an internet platform so mourners can view it anywhere. COVID restricted people from participating in funerals in person, so the demand for live broadcasting of funerals increased. Thus, distant friends and relatives may participate actively in commemorating their departed loved ones.

How Does Live Streaming Work?

For funeral live streaming, you can use social media platforms, including YouTube and Facebook. However, these avenues may not be secure and private. Alternatively, you can use commercial live streaming sites to which only invited funeral attendees to have access. A benefit of live streaming funerals is that you can record them for subsequent viewing, allowing those unable to attend the service to view them later.

The Sustainability of Funeral Live Streaming

Many of the greenhouse gases produced by funerals result from attendees' journeys to the service. Consequently, live funeral streaming is an excellent opportunity for eco-friendly funerals. Discuss this notion with your loved ones if you plan a funeral, so they may make the best-informed decision possible.

The Accessibility Of Funeral Live Streaming

An essential element of using this technology is that it makes funerals more accessible to those who would have difficulty attending in person. It means that the global guests can participate without travelling great distances, which could significantly impact the ceremony's environmental and overall cost.

In addition, anybody with a physical or mental handicap who may find attending a funeral in person difficult can participate from the comfort of their own home. It becomes a good solution if some people prefer attending the funeral service online due to personal challenges or overwhelming grief. This online service allows senior people to participate in the proceedings without traveling far, especially if they are ill or indisposed.
