The answer to this question varies quite a bit and depends a great deal on how the service itself is organized. Some families and loved ones only want to broadcast the church or temple portion of the service. Others want to be able to livestream the rosary at the wake or the last prayers and farewells at the grave site. Those who opt for a Celebration of Life service may have completely different requirements (one family did a scattering of cremains ceremony from a boat). The person or persons planning the funeral need to be clear and precise about their wishes and expectations – and funeral directors need to be clear as well about whether they can meet those expectations.
Some funeral livestreaming systems use fixed-camera solutions, meaning the camera will only be operable from one location – usually the ceiling of the funeral home. The TribuCast Remote Attendance System utilizes smartphone or iPad/android tablet technology making it completely portable and much more flexible than fixed-camera systems that can only provide one point of view.
