The Socially Distanced funeral

At a time when the world is struggling to find a way for loved ones to feel part of a funeral which is restricted by social distancing measures, Funerals Live has provided a solution with their secure online viewing system. When Alan Foudy introduced the service several years ago it was in response to the increasing problem of families divided by miles, but the pandemic has meant that almost every funeral is now conducted online and the experience gained has meant that Alan has been able to solve problems for funeral directors throughout Ireland. Being part of the final goodbye to someone who has meant something in our lives has long been considered a crucial part of the grieving process, and Funerals Live enables families to record their loved ones’ funeral service in order to later afford family and friends who are unable to make it in person the opportunity to feel part of the experience. Virtual mourners are presented with the opportunity to take part in the grieving process via a secure online viewing system. With the families permission, the funeral service is recorded and made available within several hours through a secure online portal. Crucially, the ceremony may only be accessed and viewed by those who have received a specific password, thus ensuring high levels of privacy for the family. Additionally, a live streaming option exists for viewing in real-time.

Funerals Live strive to provide a professional and discreet service, respecting the sensitivity of the occasion and conducting their operations from an appropriate distance so as not to disrupt the ceremony while also respecting social distancing measures. There are a range of options available to suit the different needs of each and every family who wish to avail of the services offered.
