How to live stream a memorial service

  1. Schedule the service

    Set it up in the EventLive app in a couple of minutes, with a photo, a welcome message, and the date and time.
  2. Invite family and friends

    Pick a simple link with their name and share it by text, email or in the obituary. Guests get an automatic reminder before the service starts.
  3. Tap to go live

    Stream the service from a phone or tablet on a simple tripod. Guests open the link in any browser, with no app and no account.

Everyone who loved them can take part

Relatives far away watch with one click

Relatives who cannot travel, older friends and anyone unwell can still take part in the celebration of life. They open one private link and watch live on a phone, tablet, computer or TV, with no app to download and no account to create. It works the same way for funerals.

Add a photo or slideshow, a short message and the order of service, with links to the obituary or a charity. Guests leave written tributes and photos in the guestbook before, during and after the service. Download the whole guestbook to keep, or switch it off if you prefer a quiet page.

Private, with real people to help

The service streams to a private, ad-free page, not a social feed, and you can add a password. If anything is unclear before or during the service, our support team is one message away, and we can help your guests too. If a funeral home is arranging the service, they can stream it with EventLive as well.

Frequently asked questions

A virtual memorial service is a memorial or celebration of life that guests can attend online. Most families hold the service in person and live stream it, so people who cannot be in the room watch live from wherever they are. Some families hold the whole memorial online, streaming from home with photos, music, and readings.

A virtual funeral usually streams the funeral itself, often within days and often arranged with a funeral home. A celebration of life is typically held later, is more informal, and is planned by the family. EventLive works the same way for both: one private link, one click to watch, and a recording you keep. If a funeral director is organising the service for you, you can point them to our funeral home streaming page.

EventLive is a one-way broadcast, so guests watch and leave messages rather than appear on screen. That keeps the service calm and easy to run. If someone far away wants to share a eulogy, ask them to record a short video you can play during the service, or read their tribute from the guestbook.

No. Guests open the link in any browser on a phone, tablet, computer, or TV and the memorial plays with one click. There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for, which matters when many viewers are older relatives.

A recent iPhone, iPad, or Android device and a simple tripod are enough. Use WiFi or mobile data. For a large venue, a small wireless microphone helps guests hear readings clearly. If a videographer is involved, they can stream from professional cameras with our RTMP setup. Run a free test event beforehand so you know the connection at the venue is fine.

The replay is available from the same link for 30 days by default, and you can extend online hosting to one year or ten years in the app. You can also download the full video at any time and keep it forever.

Yes. The service streams to a private, ad-free page that is not part of any social network and is not listed publicly. Only people with the link can watch, and you can add a password for extra control. Nothing from your memorial is used for advertising.

The app keeps a full HD recording on your device while you stream. If the connection wobbles, you can pause and resume to the same link, and afterwards you can replace the online replay with the clean local recording so the family has a complete video.

Bring everyone together for the service

Schedule your virtual memorial in minutes, invite family with one private link, and keep the recording for years to come. Test it free before the service.
