Facebook Live: Free, and Dignity Memorial offers it to all its families. But a funeral home Page’s live videos are always public, a Page needs at least 100 followers to go live, recorded music can be muted or blocked, and since February 2025 Facebook deletes live video replays after 30 days. EventLive vs Facebook Live
YouTube Live: Free, with an unlisted option. Going live from a phone needs a verified channel with at least 50 subscribers, and the first stream can take up to 24 hours to enable. Copyrighted music can interrupt the stream or block the replay, and viewers may see ads and suggested videos. EventLive vs YouTube Live
Zoom: Made for meetings. The free plan ends meetings at 40 minutes and caps them at 100 participants; longer services, cloud recording and live streaming to YouTube, Facebook or a website need a paid plan (Pro is $16.99 a month). Guests join a meeting rather than simply opening a link to watch. EventLive vs Zoom
Can we try it before we sign? Ask whether you can stream a real service for free, and whether a trial needs a call, a contract or a credit card.
What does one service cost, all in? Add up setup or installation fees, hardware, the monthly fee and any per-service charges, then divide by the services you stream in a typical month.
Do we need new equipment or an installer? Installed cameras look polished but take time and money. Check whether the phone or tablet you already have is enough, and whether your existing cameras or encoder can connect.
What happens if the internet drops? Ask whether a full recording is kept on the device, so the family still receives the whole service if the signal fails.
How do families watch? Find out whether viewers need an app, an account, a password or a registration form, and whether anything is asked of elderly relatives on a phone.
How long does the replay stay online, and who pays to keep it? Many providers keep replays for a set number of days. Ask what happens afterwards, whether families are charged, and whether you can download every recording.
Will music be muted? Social platforms can mute or block copyrighted songs. Ask how the provider handles hymns and recorded music.
Who helps if something goes wrong? Check support hours against your service times, and whether anyone watches the stream or checks your setup beforehand.
