Audio — The Most Important Part

Viewers will forgive slightly imperfect video, but they won't tolerate poor audio. That's why we prioritise clear, balanced sound above everything else.

Professional audio setup for funeral livestreaming

Wireless Lapel Mic

Clipped to the pastor, priest, or main speaker for crystal-clear voice capture throughout the entire service — eulogies, prayers, and hymns.

Venue Sound Integration

Where the venue has a sound system (most churches do), we take a direct audio line-in for the clearest possible capture of everything coming through the speakers.

Hymns & Music

Congregational singing, choirs, and music playback are all captured through our audio setup — so viewers hear the full atmosphere of the service.

Self-Streaming Audio Tip
If you're streaming from your phone, sit as close to the front as possible. A budget clip-on mic (under R200) plugged into your phone makes a huge difference. Avoid placing the phone in your pocket — keep the microphone clear and unobstructed.

Venues We Stream From

We stream from any venue — indoors or outdoors. Our mobile data connectivity means we don't need venue Wi-Fi. Here are the most common setups.

Livestreaming setup inside a church venue

Churches & Chapels

The most common venue. We typically set up at the back of the church with a clear sightline to the podium. Audio line-in from the church sound system gives the cleanest capture.

Home / Night Vigils

For night vigils and home services, we bring portable lighting and a wireless mic. Phone-based streaming can also work well in these intimate settings.

Cemeteries & Graveside

Outdoor graveside services rely entirely on mobile data. We use wind-shielded microphones and stabilised camera setups to handle open-air conditions.

Community Halls & Tents

Large halls, marquees, and tent setups are no problem. We bring our own power (if mains unavailable) and position cameras for the best coverage of the stage area.

Funeral Homes & Parlours

Funeral parlour chapels are usually compact with good acoustics. A single camera with a wireless mic captures the service perfectly.

Multiple Venues (Same Day)

Our Dual Coverage and Full Production packages include operators at two or more venues — for example, church service in the morning and cemetery in the afternoon.

Included With Every Professional Stream

Every professional streaming package (Single Camera and above) includes the following as standard — no hidden extras.

On-site technician monitoring a funeral livestream

Professional Camera

HD or 4K camera operated by an experienced cameraman who understands the sensitivity and flow of a funeral service.

Professional Audio

Wireless lapel microphone, shotgun mic, and venue sound system integration (where available) for clear, balanced audio.

Mobile Data (4G/5G)

We bring our own 4G/5G mobile data connection. No reliance on venue Wi-Fi. Signal tested before the service begins.

Live Broadcast

The stream is broadcast live through the tribute memorial page. Viewers anywhere in the world just click the link.

Full Replay Recording

The entire service is recorded and available as a replay on the tribute page — the family can watch it again anytime.

On-Site Technician

A trained technician manages the stream from start to finish — setup, monitoring, troubleshooting, and pack-down.
