Sample web page answering "why live stream & record"
SAMPLE BLURB
In today’s interconnected world, live streaming and recording have become essential components of modern memorial services. Studies show that 1 in 4 Americans live over 300 miles away from family, making it difficult for many loved ones to attend services in person. Live streaming bridges this gap, allowing family and friends to honor their loved one from anywhere in the world. Recording the service creates a lasting keepsake, offering families the opportunity to revisit cherished moments and share them with future generations. By including live streaming and recording, families can ensure that everyone has the chance to participate and preserve the memory of their loved one, regardless of distance or circumstance. We are pleased to offer advanced live streaming and recording services through our partnership with LiveControl, enhancing the way families can participate in memorial services.

High-Quality Live Streaming and Recording for Cherished Memories
We offer high-definition live streaming that connects families and friends from anywhere in the world. Each service is also professionally recorded, providing families with a downloadable keepsake to treasure forever. These recordings preserve meaningful moments, allowing loved ones to revisit and reflect for years to come.
Indoor Multi-Camera Production with Dynamic Coverage
Our advanced multi-camera setup for indoor chapels is designed to remain completely unobtrusive, ensuring that the cameras go unnoticed by attendees. Operated remotely by skilled videographers, the system offers dynamic coverage, including smooth zooming and tracking of special moments. This ensures every meaningful part of the service is captured with precision and care, maintaining the highest quality without disrupting the solemnity of the occasion.
Mobile Live Streaming for Graveside and Offsite Services
With our mobile live streaming solution, we ensure that graveside services and offsite memorials are just as accessible as indoor ceremonies. This flexible technology allows us to broadcast these meaningful moments directly to a private, branded viewing page, enabling loved ones near and far to join in real-time.
Easy Sharing with Automatic Notifications
Sharing the live stream has never been easier. We automatically send text messages and emails with the service link, making it simple for families to share with friends and loved ones. This ensures everyone can join in honoring their loved one, no matter where they are. After the service, you’ll automatically receive a download link within 24 hours, allowing you to save the recording for future viewing. Additionally, the same link used to watch the live stream remains active, enabling immediate replays and continued access whenever needed.
Includes Personal Touches
If a video montage or slideshow is part of the memorial, it can be seamlessly integrated into the live stream and recording. This feature ensures that every attendee, whether in person or remote, can experience and treasure these deeply personal moments as part of the service.
And Many Other Great Features!
In addition to high-quality live streaming and recording, our service offers several features designed to enhance the experience for families and their loved ones:
-
Private Web Player – A secure, branded platform where the service can be viewed exclusively by invited guests.

Interactive Live Chat – An optional feature that allows viewers to connect and share messages in real time, fostering a sense of community.
