How Live Streaming Brought Us Together for a Funeral

It was an overwhelming time when my loved one passed away. Amidst the grief, there was another daunting task: how to gather our scattered family and friends for the funeral. With relatives living across continents, bringing everyone together seemed impossible. That’s when Galligan Media stepped in.

Galligan Media offered a solution that I hadn’t even considered—live streaming. With their professional multi-camera production, they made it possible for everyone, no matter where they were in the world, to be part of the ceremony. The funeral service was beautifully captured, showing every detail and moment with clarity. Not only did they cover the ceremony itself, but they also streamed the funeral procession and the burial.

The online experience allowed our distant family members and friends to be present in a meaningful way. Everyone felt connected, as if they were there with us, paying their respects and supporting one another. The high-quality production, seamless transitions, and real-time access made it feel more personal than I had expected.

People from different parts of the world were able to tune in, share stories, and offer their condolences through the stream’s chat feature. We were united in our grief, and it felt like we had all gathered together for this moment of remembrance.

Thanks to Galligan Media, the virtual presence of our loved ones brought comfort and connection when we needed it the most. The live stream transformed what felt like an impossible situation into an experience that brought us together, even though we were miles apart.

     Live streaming is not just about capturing the main event, it is also about focusing on the many details couples have spent months planning. Since this couple chose the multi camera package with two mobile camera operators, we were able to capture guests enjoying drinks outside on the meticulously landscaped garden patio with the very next camera shot highlighting the lavish table settings inside. The virtual guest was able to savor close up views of the wedding cake, center pieces, floral arrangements, food, and the venue itself. Having multiple camera shots of the various sights gives the virtual guest many additional perspectives, allowing for the best possible viewer experience.
