Digital Services for Funerals
Supporting Families – Wherever They May Be
In today’s world, families and friends are often spread across different regions and even across continents. At Lodge Brothers, we understand that not everyone can attend a funeral in person. That is why we provide a range of digital services to help loved ones stay connected and take part in the farewell, wherever they are.
Our digital services are designed with care and respect — always focused on bringing people together at a meaningful moment, using technology only when it genuinely helps.
What Are Digital Funeral Services?
Digital funeral services allow family and friends to participate, contribute or view the funeral even if they cannot attend physically. These services can include live streaming, recorded services, online tributes, virtual memorials and personalised digital keepsakes.
They do not replace a funeral — but they can provide additional support and connection when distance, timing or travel make attendance difficult.
Live Streaming the Funeral
A live stream can allow relatives and friends to watch the service from home or abroad. It is handled discreetly and professionally, using fixed cameras and secure access links. Only approved individuals can view the stream.
Families typically receive:
Recorded Services
If a live broadcast is not suitable, we can arrange for the service to be recorded professionally and shared privately afterwards. Families may choose to share the recording or keep it as a private memory.
A recording can also be helpful for those who wish to replay parts of the service, including readings or tributes by family members.
Online Tributes and Remembrance Pages
We can help create a simple and respectful online tribute page, where people can
These pages can also be used to inform people about future memorial services or scattering of ashes.
Digital Order of Service
For those viewing remotely, we can provide a digital version of the Order of Service. This can be sent by email before the funeral or made available alongside the livestream link.
We can include:
A digital version ensures that remote attendees can follow the service and take part wherever possible.
Virtual Memorial Gatherings
After the funeral, some families choose to hold an online memorial or celebration of life, allowing people to share stories and memories in a supportive environment. These are often informal, relaxed events and can take place at any time — even weeks or months later.

Our Commitment
Technology can bring people closer, but it should never replace compassion, presence or care. At Lodge Brothers, we use digital services not to change the nature of a funeral — but to ensure that no one is left behind.
Our promise is simple:
We bring people together when they need it most — however far apart they may be.
