Charging for a funeral stream is a sensitive topic. Most families offer the stream free of charge. However, when a professional service is hired, there are reasonable ways to cover the cost without it feeling transactional.
Free with voluntary donation
The most common approach is a free stream with an optional donation link. Family members and friends who watch can contribute towards the cost of the service or towards a memorial fund chosen by the family.
This approach is inclusive, respectful, and typically covers or exceeds the production cost.
Professional streaming services
Funeral directors increasingly offer streaming as part of their service package. The cost is typically 100 to 300 pounds and is included in the funeral bill rather than charged to viewers.
If you are a streaming service provider offering funeral streaming, quote a flat fee to the family rather than charging per viewer.
