  • Case management software and websites for funeral homes, based in Idaho
  • Livestreaming can be bought on its own or bundled with case management
  • Ships a camera kit (Logitech Mevo Start, iPad, microphone and tripod) that your staff set up
  • Streams appear on the family’s Gather memorial page, with a guestbook and photos

A family only gets one chance to say goodbye.

EventLive lets you test video, audio and internet from the chapel, the church or the graveside as many times as you need before the service, at no cost.
If the connection drops, the HD copy recorded on the phone can fill the gap afterwards, so the family still receives the whole service.

EventLive is not only a Gather alternative, it works with the website you already have.

Gather combines case management, websites and livestreaming. Its kit (a Mevo camera, an iPad and a microphone) is shipped to you, and each stream sits on the family’s Gather memorial page. If you want all of that from one company, it’s a natural fit.

EventLive works alongside whatever case management and website you already use. Stream from the phone or tablet you have, or your own cameras, and embed the player on any website or obituary page. Prices are published: $59 per service or $199 a month for unlimited services.


Families open one private link with no app or account, and you can download every service in HD and let the family download it too.

Run a test and pay only if you love it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gather doesn’t publish prices. Its pricing page describes a one-time activation payment and a monthly subscription, and its livestreaming page mentions an up-front fee for the camera. EventLive’s prices are on this page: $59 per service, as low as $30 per service in packs, or $199 a month for unlimited services.
Yes. Gather says livestreaming can be bought on its own or bundled with case management. EventLive works alongside whatever case management and website you already use: share the service link or embed the player on your obituary page.
Gather ships a kit with a Logitech Mevo Start camera, an iPad that controls it, a microphone, a tripod and an SD card, which your staff set up for each service. Since February 2026 its app also shows an RTMP URL and stream key for professional cameras. With EventLive you can stream from any iPhone, iPad, Android phone or Mac you already have, or from an RTMP camera or encoder.
We didn’t find a download option for families on Gather’s website or help center. Funeral homes can order a DVD or USB for $40 each and set their own price for families. With EventLive you can download every service in HD, and turn on downloads for guests on the service page.
Not for public streams. For a private (invite-only) Gather stream, every viewer has to be invited and signed in to Gather. With EventLive, a private service can use a password or a guest list, and guests never create an account.
