Bridging the Distance: Streaming Services for Funerals

While technology like social media allows us to memorialize our loved ones in new, meaningful ways, attending a funeral remains one of the most important ways to support the bereaved and honor the legacy of the deceased. Unfortunately, far away friends and family cannot always take part in these important ceremonies because of health issues, caregiving responsibilities, and other obligations that make travel difficult. Fortunately, live streaming can help everyone participate in these important events, regardless of their physical location.


Streaming Services at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary

In Jewish tradition, funerals are often arranged soon after a loved one passes, which can make travel challenging for those who live far away. Live streaming helps bridge this gap, offering a way for everyone to be present, even when physical attendance isn’t possible. While general services like Zoom can help connect people, they often come with limitations such as subpar equipment, poor audio, unstable connections, and the potential for interruptions which can detract from the experience during these delicate moments.



At Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary, we understand the importance of providing a seamless and respectful experience. That’s why at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary we offer live streaming services in both our Small and Large Sanctuaries as well as graveside. Using high-definition cameras and premium sound equipment onsite, we ensure every detail of your ceremony is captured in high definition video and audio. To protect the privacy of the service, our streams are password-protected, ensuring that only those you invite can attend.


Our professional and dedicated staff handles all the technical aspects of the live stream, allowing you to focus entirely on honoring your loved one and supporting each other as a community. This service not only connects those who are unable to travel but also ensures that the memory of your loved one is honored with the dignity and care they deserve.
