Funeral Webcasting: A Long-Distance Solution

Last week I had the opportunity to recommend funeral webcasting to one of my preneed agents, from the recent loss of her uncle.

 

Many of her family members live out of state, and would not be able to attend the funeral.

I was glad to know of solution to share. Funeral webcasting is new technology where family and other loved ones can watch the funeral service live over the Internet. When I told my agent, she thought this was a great idea and decided to see if the facility where the service was going to be held had this capability.

These days, so many people are transient, don’t remain close to home, and cannot attend funeral services for numerous reasons. Webcasting now allows the family to still have a service and while resting assured that those out of state will be able to view and participate long-distance.

From my experience, the funeral service is a vital part in the grieving process, and harm would be done if it were skipped just from lack of attendance.

Having to miss a loved one’s funeral due to distance, time conflicts and financial restraints is never an easy thing to face. Funeral webcasting is the answer to this problem.

Are you witnessing families overcome with grief facing the very real possibility that crucial family members and friends may not be able to attend the services honoring their dearly departed? There is an easy solution to this disconcerting dilemma, and one that we urge you to consider: a funeral webcast, effectively allowing the far-off bereaved to attend the online funeral of the deceased.
