Funeral & Memorial Thanksgiving Ceremony
Worldwide Live-streaming
What does a funeral livestream involve?
Once you have decided that live-streaming the funeral or memorial service will be important for those who are unable to attend, the next step is to inform your funeral director and minister or celebrant.
Ben at BHWH Productions will then make all necessary arrangements. Having worked with many of the funeral directors in Bristol, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Somerset and further afield, Ben already has well-established relationships with the team taking care of your family. Ben also continues to work with many ministers and celebrants, including those from The Church of England, the Catholic Church in England and Wales, Humanists UK and many other independent celebrants. It is these long-established relationships that sets Ben of BHWH Productions apart from many of his competition who often lack the experience in this particular field.
On the day, it's unlikely you will notice Ben and his camera. We aim for the most sensitive approach to filming, using advanced wireless technologies and thoughtful positioning of camera and equipment.
What should we expect to happen?
You will receive a private livestream link to share with family or friends prior to the ceremony
We use a dedicated professional platform with a robust & easy to use interface
Share the link with unlimited & worldwide family and friends via email, WhatsApp, text or social media posts
Include high quality music in your broadcast
Request a DVD or downloadable copy after the event
Link viewers to your Order of service and chosen charity website
Stream additional parts of the day such as burial or procession if you wish
All required PRS Licensing is included
Why choose to livestream a funeral or memorial service?
This unique service allows families and friends from across the UK and worldwide to join together in real time to say farewell and pay their final respects to loved ones.
Ben has been involved in ceremonial events for many years. He offers a discreet and professional service to those wishing to bring together family and friends who are unable to attend through distance, health or other restrictions. Ceremonies can be broadcast live via private secure link from a variety of locations including churches, chapels, civic buildings, gravesides and any other location requested by the family.
The service is fully bespoke and offers various options; these include single or multi-camera setup, individual mics for the officiant and readers, pre-recorded or live music capture, downloadable copy for family and optional high quality DVD copy as keepsake.

St. Martin's Church was built c.1200 and has a square 14th century tower.

This distance falls beyond the typical limitations of an SDI infrastructure and therefore a perfect solution was for BHWH Productions to deploy fibre optic for highly reliable and robust high definition video relay. Here we have the service taking place in St Martin's Bremhill, Calne, relayed into a village hall nearby in Bremhill, Calne.

Funeral Service at St, Andrew's, Leighterton, Gloucestershire - Funeral videography and outdoor broadcast from church to marquee
Typical setup for funeral videography in churches within the Badminton Benefice:
single camera, usually positioned off-centre which is panned to capture the gathering/entrance procession, minister, readers at the lectern and pulpit (if used).
second camera - (eg. locked off wide angle) which I can then switch between
use of a variety of lavelier and fixed mics to capture high quality audio. This is all done with respect for the occasion/building and would mostly be unseen by the congregation.
equiped for long cable runs to send live broadcast to outdoor space - for this funeral, broadcast was to a 55" HD monitor.
TESTIMONIALS
" Thank you for your contribution to Mum's funeral. We couldn't have asked for more on the day. The feedback I received is incredibly positive. People have commented how well you captured the event. The sound quality was excellent."
"Hi Benjamin
Thank you so much for yesterday - I am sorry I never got to come and introduce myself. It was a pretty tough day as you can imagine.
Everybody said how good the live stream was and were so happy that they could be part of the service - my Brother would have been happy that his friends and family were all there with us.
Kind regards
Dee"
"Dear Ben,
The link worked perfectly and everyone who we wanted to see it did. My Mum and I also rewatched it together as we didn't really remember everything from the day, so that was lovely.
Thanks, James"
"Dear Ben,
Thank you, very much, for the live-streaming you did of my Aunt’s funeral on Friday, at Arnos Vale. I am so sorry I didn’t get to speak with you on the day - each time I went to say hello, you were speaking with someone or something was happening!
You did a fabulous job and everyone was so grateful that you made it possible for them to attend.
Wishing you every success this year and sending my heartfelt thanks,
Bryony Bensly (Deirdre Stirling’s niece) "
