Funeral live streaming in Newcastle
Newcastle is where we are based, so this is our shortest drive and our most familiar ground. Nearly every Newcastle funeral runs through one of a handful of chapels, and we have worked in them.
What makes Newcastle different
Some Newcastle chapels now have in-house webcasting through an automated fixed-camera system. That is fine for a straightforward service, and if it covers what your family needs you should use it. What it does not do is cut between angles, follow a eulogy from the lectern to a grandchild in the front row, or take a feed from a musician. If the service has movement in it, an operated multi-camera stream is a different thing entirely.
We cover Mayfield, Wallsend, Adamstown, Hamilton, Merewether, Stockton, Beresfield, Sandgate, Lambton, Broadmeadow, New Lambton and the rest of the Newcastle local government area. There is no travel surcharge anywhere in that area.

Chapels, churches and crematoria we cover in Newcastle
If your venue is not listed, we can still work there. Ask us.
- Newcastle Memorial Park Beresfield The main crematorium for Newcastle and, because Maitland and Port Stephens have no crematorium of their own, for much of the surrounding area too. Both the North and East chapels are fitted with their own audio-visual systems, and the venue publishes strict media rules: MP4 or WMV in 16:9 and MP3 only, no CDs, DVDs, PowerPoint or streaming links, delivered 48 business hours before the service, with testing only on weekdays between 8.30am and 3.30pm. We handle that submission for you.
- Pettigrew Family Funerals, Mayfield West Mayfield West A 550-seat main chapel, a 50-seat private chapel and an on-site crematorium, with parking for around 200 cars. Large services here are exactly where a second camera earns its place, because from the back of a 550-seat room a single wide shot shows very little.
- Pettigrew Family Funerals, Wallsend Wallsend A 120-seat chapel with an attached function centre, recently renovated.
- Sandgate Cemetery Chapel Sandgate The restored 1936 inter-war Gothic chapel on the Metropolitan Memorial Parks site at Maitland Road. A heritage building with no published AV facilities, which is precisely the kind of venue where bringing your own everything matters.
- Christ Church Cathedral Newcastle The Anglican cathedral on Church Street, which keeps a dedicated funerals page of its own.
- Sacred Heart Cathedral Hamilton The Catholic cathedral for the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle.
- White Lady Funerals, Mayfield Mayfield An 80-seat chapel with room for about 20 standing.
- Simplicity Funerals, Adamstown Adamstown A 70-seat chapel on Brunker Road with space for around 30 standing.
What we bring to every job
- Our own Starlink connection
- A guaranteed recording, with a backup copy
- Broadcast cameras and a live mixing desk
- Audio taken from the celebrant
Common questions
Our chapel has its own webcast camera. Do we still need you?
If the service is simple and the fixed camera shows what your family needs, use it. Book us when the service moves: eulogies from different places, a musician, grandchildren reading, or relatives who want to see faces rather than the back of the room.
Can you work alongside the audio-visual system at Newcastle Memorial Park?
Yes. Both chapels at Beresfield have their own system and strict rules for slideshows and music, which the funeral director handles. We stream alongside it without touching it.
Do you charge travel anywhere in Newcastle?
No. We are based in Newcastle, so Mayfield, Wallsend, Stockton, Beresfield and every other suburb in the city are our shortest drive, with no travel charge.
What if the service is in a few days?
Call 0423 914 674. Funerals are arranged quickly and we work to that, and we will tell you on the phone whether the date is free.
Packages, pricing and what happens on the day are all on our main funeral live streaming page.
