Livestream

As our lives get busier it’s not always possible to be where you would like to be.

Funeral Streaming closes the distance and enables family and friends to be part of a funeral service either live while the service happens or later, when time permits.

What is Livestreaming?

The funeral service is livestreamed (broadcast) via the internet.  Only people invited by the family can log into the broadcast.  The service can be viewed live, or after the event (for up to 90 days).

The livestream can be downloaded afterwards for a fee.

Live streaming is available in all of our Lamb and Hayward chapels (Westpark, Wai-mana, Oaklands and the Christchurch Crematorium). We also offer a range of livestreaming options for a graveside service or from other venues throughout Canterbury.

How Does it Work?

• Your funeral director will arrange for the livestreaming to be set up.
• You provide the name of the person you would like to be invited to view the service online.
• They will be sent an email invitation. The email explains how to connect to the service.
• You can also forward the email invitation to anyone else you choose or share the link publicly.
• Guests will be required to sign in using their names.
• To watch the service online the viewer must have access to a computer with a broadband connection, or a smart phone or tablet with the OneRoom app downloaded.

How Much Does it Cost?

A single fee of $224 is charged to the funeral account, regardless of how many people are invited to view the service.

There is no charge to individual viewers.

There is a fee of $39 if you wish to download the service direct from OneRoom (only available for family members).

Alternatively L&H can download and edit the service for a fee of $61. This can be emailed to you, or for an additional $25 can be added to a USB.
