Sadly, most families experience this unfortunate reality. Many mourners are unable to attend funerals due to illness, travel expenses or simply living too far from the funeral service. Friends and family members not afforded this memory are limited to participation via the telephone, cards of sympathy and flowers.

Today's technology has changed the way distant friends and families can participate in memorial services. The live and on-demand funeral service, offers friends and family members access to special memorial services regardless of their location or circumstances. Our unique service provides friends and family members a secure and private connection to the memorial service via the Internet.

We are dedicated to providing secured access to this special event to those friends and family members incapable of attending. The reasons are many and varied and include those who are:

• Elderly or ill and unable to travel.
• Unable to attend due to business conflicts.
• Serving in the military overseas.
• Living long distances from the service and simply can't afford the expense of travel.
• Confined to nursing homes or other institutions.

And, because the service is securely saved for up to 30 days, the service can be viewed by friends and family when time permits.

The Memorial Streams service truly brings friends and family together during trying times and removes the constraints of distance. The service is performed in a dignified fashion with no protruding cameras or cables disruptin gthe funeral service.

All cameras are discretely positioned preserving the dignity and privacy needed during this difficult period. Most people aren't even aware that the event is being recorded.

All access to the live recorded service is totally under your control. Your funeral director will provide you with the information necessary to access the viewing site. You are then free to distribute this information to whomever you like, either through emails or conversation.

When the service begins, those unable to attend have been provided with the necessary security codes, and simply log on to our easily accessible website, enter in the security information and view the service.

For those unable to view the live service, a recorded session will be available for 30 days using the same security codes. A recorded DVD option may also be availiabe.
