Streaming services became vital during the COVID-19 pandemic to help connect families and friends around the world. As much as celebratory events including birthday parties and graduations were streamed to include loved ones who were not able to be there in person, funeral homes helped ensure mourners had support from friends and family with virtual streaming services. As the world continues to adapt, premium streaming services add new value to funeral homes and cemeteries today.
Streaming services continue to improve a family’s experience. Although many have returned to travel, there are often reasons why people are unable to attend a service. From the financial commitment of travel to changing weather conditions to one’s health, for many travel creates a barrier to supporting friends and family. Offering virtual services as an option allows families to receive support and love from a broader community of caregivers.
The benefits of streaming services goes beyond the service itself. With the right partners, arrangement meetings can be held virtually as well, helping to customize offerings for each family. Whether an entire family is planning from a distance or a single family member cannot be there in person, streaming services provide funeral homes and cemeteries the ability to connect with families face-to-face without being in person for arrangement meetings, pre-planning consultations, and even property tours.
The purpose of streaming services is to offer options that fit the needs of the family in order to provide the best support possible. Allowing flexibility for meetings gives families the options they need to be comfortable.
