What to Expect When Live Streaming a Funeral Service

When someone can’t be physically present to say goodbye whether they’re across the country, stationed overseas, caring for young children, recovering from surgery, or simply unable to travel, it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be able to bear witness to a moment that matters. That final goodbye, the quiet music, the words spoken at the pulpit these are moments that help us heal. Livestreaming makes it possible for loved ones to be there emotionally and spiritually, even when they can't be there in person.

At C King Media, we understand that this isn’t just a “job” or a service it’s an act of support during one of the hardest days a family will face. We’ve had the honor of helping families connect across time zones and oceans, ensuring no one has to miss the chance to honor a life well lived.

We treat every funeral livestream with care, discretion, and deep respect. From our camera placement to the way we interact with your clergy, funeral director, or family point of contact, everything we do is built to preserve the sanctity of the moment. And yes we bring the technical expertise. But more importantly, we bring the heart.

Here’s what you can expect when you invite us to livestream a memorial service for your loved one.

1. Pre-Event Coordination With Compassion

From the first inquiry, we understand the importance of speed and sensitivity. We’ll walk you through:

• Your preferred livestream platform (usually unlisted YouTube)

• Who should receive the viewing link

• Whether the video should be recorded, archived, or taken down afterward

• Any house of worship or funeral home AV coordination

We work with tight turnarounds often in less than 24 hours and keep the tech side easy for families and planners.

2. Discreet, Professional Setup

We arrive early to set up in a quiet, respectful way. Our gear is compact and our presence is subtle. Most setups include:

• 1–2 cameras on tripods

• Wireless audio mics or integration with venue soundboard

• Bonded cellular internet for stability (especially in rural cemeteries or older churches)

• Backup power and recording systems for peace of mind

We never film the audience unless explicitly requested, and our camera placement is always out of the way.

3. Private, Reliable Viewing Experience

We provide you with a private viewing link that works on any device smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart TVs. Viewers do not need an app or account to access the stream.

You can choose from:

• Unlisted YouTube (our most common choice)

• Password-protected embedded players

• Temporary replay links for guests in different time zones

We also offer post-event recordings and downloadable files for memorial keepsakes.

4. Support for Funeral Directors and Families

We often work hand-in-hand with:

• Funeral directors

• Clergy or celebrants

• AV or soundboard teams

Our mission is to stay out of the spotlight while ensuring the moment is captured with dignity and care.
