Webcasting funerals during Covid-19

Our small team of specialists has supported funeral providers with webcasting services in the UK for more than a decade, and over recent weeks, we've seen unprecedented numbers of people attending funerals online.

We understand how difficult it is for families and friends who are not able to attend a funeral in person. Where we normally see only a handful of people choosing to watch a service online, we now often have hundreds of mourners logging on for each funeral. That's why we've worked rapidly to upgrade and adjust our system and processes to accommodate this rise in demand and support bereaved families at this difficult time. We appreciate everyone's support as we continue to refine our service for this new environment.

Our live webcast and recording services are still available through Funeral Directors only. They will share any login details with you—for privacy reasons we cannot tell you these directly.

Due to the current increased demand for webcasting, our phone lines may be busier than usual. If you need our support and it isn't urgent, please get in touch via our contact us page.

We'd like to thank families, Funeral Directors and crematorium partners for all their support messages and understanding at this exceptionally busy time.

To show our support for the heroic work of the NHS during the Covid-19 crisis, we're donating money we receive from each funeral we webcast to charities helping provide food for NHS staff and families in need.

Many thanks, the Obitus team
