A livestream funeral allows participants to celebrate the life of their loved one together whether they live close by or far away. A livestream funeral is a way to take advantage of the benefits of a virtual memorial while also incorporating aspects of an in-person ceremony that capture the beauty of your loved one’s life.
One-Way Livestream Funeral vs. Two-Way Livestream Funeral
“Livestream funeral” can mean a few different things. There are ways to hold a livestream funeral so that viewers can simply watch the services. However, in this article, we will discuss holding a two-way livestream funeral.
Two-Way Livestream Funeral
A two-way livestream funeral is a way to bring people together when they are spread out in different locations, to share a type of closeness surrounding the memory of a loved one. This added closeness comes from the ability of virtual viewers to communicate with the in-person participants and for the in-person guests to communicate with the virtual guests. For all those who wish to not only pay their respects but provide comfort with their presence, a livestream funeral can provide a great way to do so.
The Benefits of a Livestream Funeral
Adding a livestream funeral to your in-person ceremony can make attending the ceremony much easier for guests. First, it can alleviate costs associated with travel. Secondly, it can eliminate travel time for guests who may live far away, which is especially convenient if there is relatively short notice leading up to the ceremony. A livestream funeral can also reduce scheduling conflicts associated with childcare, taking care of elderly family members, and other personal or professional commitments. Finally, the livestream funeral option allows guests to join the ceremony from the comfort of their own homes. For some who prefer to grieve with more privacy, this benefit can be important because it allows the attendee to process their emotions away from a crowd.
Adding a Livestream Funeral to the Ceremony
Hiring a professional team to help with a two-way livestream funeral can be a way to make the planning process easier. On the day of the memorial service, family and friends can be relieved of the potential concerns that come along with setting up equipment, deciding where microphones and camera angles should be placed, and testing the two-way communication capability. We at Lighten are professionals who are skilled at conducting a two-way livestream funeral, meaning you can focus on what matters most the day of the memorial: your loved one.
Creating Lasting Memories
Funerals, memorials, and celebrations of life can help us take a collective moment to reflect on memories of our loved one that will have a lasting effect. It can bring people joy to be able to share in these memories together. Adding a livestream funeral option to the plans for a loved one’s memorial can be a wonderful way to share this ability with guests who may be facing travel, environmental, or scheduling difficulties.
