Funeral live streaming in Maitland
Maitland has no crematorium of its own. Local funeral directors take services to Newcastle Memorial Park at Beresfield, about twenty minutes down the highway, which means a Maitland funeral often runs across two locations on the same morning.
What makes Maitland different
Because so many Maitland services move from a church or chapel in town out to the crematorium at Beresfield, the practical question is whether the family watching from elsewhere sees both parts or only one. We can cover a church service and a committal at Newcastle Memorial Park as a single stream on the same link, which is worth asking about when you are arranging the day. None of the council cemeteries at East Maitland, Rutherford, Morpeth, Campbells Hill, Glebe, Oakhampton or Louth Park has an on-site chapel.
We cover Central Maitland, East Maitland, Rutherford, Telarah, Lorn, Bolwarra, Morpeth, Thornton, Metford, Ashtonfield, Tenambit, Largs, Lochinvar and the rest of the Maitland local government area. 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 Maitland?
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.
