So everyone can say goodbye.
We provide livestreaming, recording, sound and screens for funerals and memorial services across Cumbria, the North of England and the Borders. Families have watched our streams from Abu Dhabi, the USA, Australia, and occasionally the house next door to the church. We work with families, funeral directors, clergy and celebrants, and we try hard to be invisible on the day.
What we can do
Livestreaming and recording
For relatives who live too far away, are unwell, or can't fit in the building. We stream to a private link and record everything, and we can provide audio-only copies too.
Overflow
When a village church can't hold everyone, we put speakers in the churchyard or the hall next door, and screens as well if the service is being filmed. People outside can follow the service and then join the family at the graveside.
Sound and music
Lectern and radio microphones so every eulogy is heard, even in a big stone church, and music played at the right moment. We work through the order of service with you and your celebrant.
Photo tributes and memorial videos
You gather photos, videos, songs and messages, and we make them into a tribute to show at the service, or a keepsake a few weeks later. If we streamed the service, we can include parts of it.
Anything else
If there's something you'd like to do that doesn't fit into any of the above, ask us. We'll do what we can.
For funeral directors
We already work with funeral directors across north Cumbria and would be glad to work with you. We'll give you guide prices so you can offer these services with confidence, and we'll run it under your name or ours, whichever you prefer.
You can pass us the family's details and we'll handle everything from there, or keep us in the background and deal with us directly. We can bill through your disbursements or straight to the family. Availability checks and last-minute bookings are fine, seven days a week.
Questions people ask
Can you livestream a funeral from a small rural church?
Almost always. We bring our own internet connection, using mobile data and satellite, so we don't depend on the church having WiFi. In the rare places where a live stream isn't possible, we record the service and aim to have it online within four hours of the end.
Is the stream private?
It can be. Most families choose an unlisted YouTube link that only people they share it with can open.
Will the cameras be noticed?
We keep them small, fixed and out of the way, and agree positions with the minister, celebrant or venue beforehand. We stay out of the way, so we're no more noticeable than we need to be.
How do we book, as a family?
Speak to your funeral director and ask for 1Five Productions, or contact us directly, and we'll go from there.
Can we get a recording to keep?
Yes. Every stream is recorded, and you can have a copy to download, or an audio-only recording.
We're a funeral director. How does working with you work?
We give you guide prices so you can offer our services with confidence, and we can bill through your disbursements or directly to the family. We can work under your name or ours. We're available seven days a week, including for last-minute bookings.
