Funeral live streaming in Hunter Valley
The Hunter Valley covers a lot of ground with one crematorium in it, and long distances between the towns. Families are frequently spread between Cessnock, Singleton and the coast.
What makes Hunter Valley different
This is the region where bringing our own connection stops being a talking point and starts being the whole job. Wollombi, Laguna, Bulga, Bucketty, Glendon Brook, Mirannie and Jerrys Plains all appear on the federal mobile blackspot program's list. Cessnock City Council resolved in August 2025 to write to federal and state ministers and to the telcos about coverage blackspots across the shire. In July 2026 a cut cable on Broke Road took out mobile services across Pokolbin, Rothbury and Milbrodale. A graveside service at Ellalong, Millfield, Wollombi or Rothbury cannot be streamed on a phone, and we do not try.
We cover Pokolbin, Lovedale, Rothbury, Cessnock, Broke, Branxton, Greta, Kurri Kurri, Wollombi, Singleton, Nulkaba, Bellbird, Millfield and the surrounding wine country. There is no travel surcharge anywhere in that area.

What we bring to every job
Starlink on every job
The stream runs on our own satellite connection, not the venue's wifi and not a mobile hotspot. Chapels, cemeteries, gardens and vineyards are exactly the places where reception fails, and we have removed that from the list of things you need to worry about.
The recording is guaranteed
We record locally on redundant media at the same time as we stream. If the internet drops, if the power goes out, if a viewer's connection fails, the recording is still made and you still receive it.
Blackmagic Design broadcast kit
Real cameras and a vision switcher, cut live between angles, with audio taken from the celebrant or the venue's own system. Not a phone on a tripod at the back of the room.
Quiet, and quick to book
We set up early, stay out of the way and pack down without interrupting anything. Funerals can be booked at a few days' notice, and the recording comes back to you quickly.
Common questions
Do you charge extra to travel to Hunter Valley?
No. There is no travel surcharge and no minimum booking anywhere in our service area.
Do you need the chapel's wifi?
No. We bring our own Starlink satellite connection to every service, so we do not need a password, a network exception or anything at all from the venue or the funeral director.
What if the service is in a few days?
Call us. Funerals are arranged quickly and we work to that. We will tell you on the phone whether the date is free rather than making you wait for an email.
Can you stream a graveside service?
Yes. Because we bring our own connection and our own power, an outdoor graveside service is no harder for us than a chapel.
Do we get the recording even if the stream fails?
Yes. We record locally on redundant media throughout. A dropped connection cannot cost you the footage.
Packages, pricing and what happens on the day are all on our main funeral live streaming page.
