Wollongong and Shellharbour Funeral Live Streaming

If you’re unfamiliar with the process, live streaming simply means the service is broadcast online as it happens, rather than being uploaded later. Viewers typically experience only a small delay of about 5–10 seconds, allowing them to follow the service almost exactly as it unfolds.

Our videographer arrives at the location ahead of time to set up a professional, multi-camera system using high-quality microphones and advanced live stream internet-bonding technology. This combines multiple internet providers to ensure a strong and reliable connection. We use professional-grade cameras, audio equipment and broadcasting tools to deliver a clear, high-quality funeral live stream that feels personal, respectful and polished.

Every funeral we live stream is also recorded, giving your family a permanent keepsake. This funeral recording allows people to watch the service afterwards – whether they missed the live stream or simply wish to reflect on the words and moments shared.

We can live stream both indoor and outdoor services. Our system can run entirely on battery power, making it ideal for parks, gardens, cemeteries, private properties and rural locations.

For a caring, reliable and expertly produced funeral live streaming service, contact PipeWolf Media today. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

At PipeWolf Media, we provide a compassionate, non-intrusive and highly professional funeral live streaming service to help families stay connected during one of life’s most difficult moments.

From your very first enquiry, Fyona will guide you through a simple, stress-free planning process. Our friendly, down-to-earth approach means we handle all technical and logistical details -coordinating with churches, chapels, venues and funeral directors – so you can focus on honouring your loved one.

We understand how overwhelming funeral planning can be. Many families tell us the day goes by in a blur, making it hard to remember the order of events, what was said, or who attended. That’s why we’ve designed our live stream funeral service and recording options to help preserve these important memories, allowing you to revisit the service and share it with others in the future.

Today, live streaming a funeral has become an essential part of modern memorial planning. Family and friends may be unable to attend in person due to distance, illness, work commitments or travel restrictions. A memorial live stream gives them the comfort of still being part of the day – supporting, grieving and connecting in real time, no matter where they are.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can people view the live stream?

A dedicated page on our website is set up to host the live stream. You’ll receive the link by email, making it easy to pass along to anyone who wants to watch. The stream can be accessed from any internet-connected computer, smartphone, or tablet.

Can we edit the live stream video after the funeral?

Yes, we do provide video production and video editing services. If you’d like to have an edit of the footage we capture during the funeral please let us know and we’ll provide you with a custom quote.

Can you play a photo slideshow or other media into the live stream?

Yes, if we are notified prior to the event we can play a photo slideshow or other media within the live stream, switching from the camera feed, to the slideshow and then back to the camera feed.

How much time is needed to set up prior to the funeral?

Our team will coordinate with the church/venue to gain access 2-3 hours before the service. This ensures we have sufficient time to set up and test all equipment and the internet connection.

What happens if the church/venue does not have an internet connection?

We supply all of our own equipment, including our own internet connection. Using advanced live-streaming technology, we combine Optus and Telstra networks to deliver the strongest and most reliable connection possible.

Can I download a copy of the live stream video?

Yes. A high-quality recording of the funeral service will be provided to the family via Dropbox, allowing you to download and keep the video file for years to come.

Where is PipeWolf Media located and what area do they service?

We are based in Berkeley (a suburb of Wollongong NSW) and are available to live stream from Sydney to the Southern Highlands and down the South Coast. We regularly live stream in and around Wollongong, Shellharbour, Nowra and Sydney.

Will the live stream be available to watch after the funeral service?

Yes, after the funeral service people can click the live stream link and view the entire live stream as a video. This will be available for a few months after the funeral. We’ll also send the family an MP4 video file of the entire live stream so they can download it and share it with anyone who would like a copy.

Can you live stream burial and graveside funerals?

Yes, our live streaming set up can be 100% battery operated and we’re able to live stream from burial sites, gravesides and outdoors. Please keep in mind that our equipment can’t get wet, so in the event of rain we may need to bring a gazebo, or we may be unable to live stream outdoors.

How do I invite people to watch the live stream?

As soon as your live stream booking is confirmed we’ll send you the link to where the live stream can be viewed. You can share that link with family and friends – whoever you’d like to invite to watch the service. You can also post the link onto your Facebook page, text it or email it.

What equipment do you use to live stream a funeral service?

We use multiple (usually two) cameras on tripods, we also use multiple audio feeds, usually plugging into the audio system and setting up back-up recording devices on the podium. We use a large tablet and switcher set up with our internet bonding technology at a table towards the back of the room – this is how we send the live stream to the internet.

If people need help watching the live stream on the day how do they get in touch?

The web page where the live stream is hosting has a live chat box for people to easily message us for support. If people can’t use the live chat box, they can email info@pipewolfmedia.com. Our team will be monitoring the live stream and available to assist anyone via the live chat or email.

Will the live stream disrupt the funeral service?

Our live streaming production set-up is very discreet. We use static cameras on tripods, usually at the back or side of the room. We don’t move at all during the funeral service, there’s no roaming cameras, no videographers walking around for a different shot.

We observe cultural protocols and are very respectful of different religious beliefs and ceremony formats.

What is the difference between a single camera and multi-camera live stream?

A single camera live stream means we have one static shot for the entire live stream. It’s usually a wide shot showing the entire front of the service, but it doesn’t zoom in on people or cover anything that happens outside of that shot.

A multi-camera live stream means we’ll have a static shot showing the entire front of the service and a second camera that’s zooming in, focusing on people speaking or performing during the service.

While our videographer monitors the cameras, our other team member selects which camera shot will be sent to the live stream – creating a full-coverage viewing experience where the live stream switches between tight and wide shots.

What is live streaming?

Live streaming is similar to a live television broadcast, but instead of broadcasting through a TV station, we’re streaming the video feed via the internet.

Funeral ive streaming requires a camera, audio feed, internet connection and software to turn the video from the camera into a digital camera feed that can be viewed on an online platform such as YouTube, Facebook or a website.

People can view the live stream from anywhere in the world – they just need a computer, smartphone, tablet, or another smart device with an internet connection.

It takes years of technical expertise to be able to professionally live stream an event – there’s a lot of equipment involved, and there’s always plenty of troubleshooting when technology don’t want to play along.

PipeWolf Media are experts in live streaming, our team always go the extra mile to ensure our funeral live streams are of the highest quality so that friends and family who can’t be there in person have the best possible viewing experience.

What if the internet drops out or issues arive during the live stream?

We use internet bonding for all our live streams. This means we’re able to access both the Optus and Telstra networks, for example, if the Optus signal is weak or overloaded then our stream will start leaning on the Telstra network instead and vice versa. It’s a little bit like plugging lots of internet connections in together, instead of just one, so if one drops out it’s not a big deal – there’s plenty of support for the live stream.

Our internet bonding means it’s very rare that our internet drops out or glitches…but of course, technology can have a mind of its own sometimes. In addition to live streaming, we’re always recording the entire service. If the internet does drop out, we’ll have the full service uploaded online shortly after the funeral finishes.

If we do experience any technical difficulties all online views will be kept up to date via the online chat box.
