Visual Tribute & Live Streaming

Many families choose to have a visual tribute or live streaming at a funeral as a way of making the service more personal and inclusive.

A visual tribute such as a photo or video montage set to music allows everyone to reflect on special memories, celebrating the story of a loved one’s life in a heartfelt and meaningful way. It can bring comfort, smiles, and even moments of laughter, reminding people of the joy and love shared.

Live streaming helps ensure that family and friends who cannot be there in person whether due to distance, health, or travel difficulties can still take part in the service. It creates a sense of connection, allowing everyone to share in the farewell no matter where they are.

Together, these options provide a lasting way to remember, honour, and include, making the funeral service feel truly personal.

Questions

  • No — a visual tribute or live streaming is completely optional. Some families find comfort in including them as a way to share memories and include those who cannot attend, while others prefer to keep the service simple without them. It’s entirely about what feels right for you and your loved one.

  • A visual tribute is usually shown on screens at the crematorium or funeral venue, often during a moment of reflection or alongside chosen music. If the venue doesn’t have screens, your funeral director can often arrange for portable equipment to display the tribute. This ensures that all guests can share in the memories together as part of the service.

  • Only the people given the secure link can access the live stream. It isn’t public, so families have full control over who is able to watch. This means relatives and friends who cannot be there in person can still take part in the service, while privacy and dignity are always respected.

  • Yes — most live streams can be recorded and saved, allowing you to watch the service again later or share it with family and friends who couldn’t attend. This provides a lasting keepsake and ensures that everyone who wishes to be part of the farewell has the chance to do so.

  • Yes — both visual tributes and live streaming are optional extras and do involve an additional cost. The price depends on the provider, the length of the service, and any extras such as recordings or customised photo montages. At Evans & Son, we’ll explain all costs clearly in advance and arrange everything for you, so you can decide what feels right without any surprises.
