With over 350 funeral streams we have never had a failed funeral stream because of our knowledge and our special ‘outdoor 4 network antenna system’. People come to us when a funeral streaming fail (because of coverage) is not an option. Many others have sadly failed on many but keep it quiet. If the funeral stream absolutely must work please engage with us.
Dear Darren,
I would just like to take this moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Some of the reasons I decided to chose you over others is because of many things. From start to finish you were highly professional and lovely to talk to, your experience with funerals and indeed funeral streaming really did show. The feedback of the quality of the streaming was beautiful and such high quality video and sound which indeed you said it would be.
The way and the style you filmed was just amazing now I have watched it back. The Father said you were one of the nicest, discreet and polite funeral streamers he has ever used and I have sent him your details I hope that is Ok.
We have family and friends all over the world and like you said all of them would be able to watch it no matter where they were.
Thank you once again for a beautiful live video stream which I have now downloaded and will treasure forever,
Take care,
Annabelle x

Highly Regarded, High Quality Funeral Streaming Specialist & Funeral Videographer
Outside the chapel, inside the chapel and the graveside burial. This streamed to thousands of mourners in India.
An important note is that not all “Funeral Streaming Companies” are the same. We are one of the best and have been helping with funerals with funeral videos, funeral streaming for over 7 years. Others ( because they have no work ) have quickly setup a glossy website 6 months ago and are ‘having a go’ for now and not be very experienced professional or successful with their streaming ( you find out on the day when it goes wrong… then what ) then when normal work picks up for them they will be gone. How would you feel on the day if the stream fails ? This does happen with some others. You need to make the correct decisions as hundreds across the world are relying on it. If you choose a cheap price as the main factor then going cheaper might be the most expensive £100 you have ever saved.
You only get one chance to do this right. Please contact us to help

March 2021
We were asked to live stream at a hospital of the cortege arrival and all the doctors and nurses letting off balloons and saying some readings for a young doctor who had sadly died. We then streamed at South London Crematorium
Dear Darren
Hope all is well and thanks very much again to you and your colleague. You were both so professional and knowledgeable. Apologies for the delayed response.
We have received brilliant feedback from both overseas and UK based family and friends about the quality of both the live streamed and the recorded versions of the services. People were very impressed with the quick turnaround time.
We chose you based on the positive reviews on the website and we felt assured that you and your team were the right people for the job. Indeed, you were from the first email communication to meeting you on the day you were the best people for the job. The fact that you were a highly recommended professional in your field made the choice easy.
Our Chief Nurse Arlene Wellman also commented on what a fantastic job that you did.
Funeral Streaming & Funeral Videography Services
Interment of ashes live streaming - Natural Burial Ground funeral streaming - Church Funeral Streaming - Graveside Burial funeral streaming - Crematorium funeral streaming
There can be many reasons why you have come to our website for Funeral Streaming, health, ability, age or because limited numbers of mourners are allowed because of covid 19 and travel disruption and of course if you have family all over the world that cannot make it to the funeral and they would like to take part and watch the funeral stream to help them with their last goodbyes and help them with some closure.
I have watched 2 of my family’s funerals over streams last year and it made a huge difference in helping me.
We have live streamed a lot of interments of ashes recently which can be the service followed by the interment and planting a tree as well as the celebration of life drinks in the natural burial ground after. We can even make and play into the stream a tribute video in their honour.
Whoever you decide to go with if we are already booked to help with funeral streaming please make sure they use a ‘4 network bonded internet system’. Too many go out with just one network like Vodafone and if the signal is bad for that operator the stream could fail. We use all 4 of the mobile networks bonded using EE - Vodafone - Three and o2 ( means they act as one ) and if one network coverage is bad or goes down that day the others just carry on and the stream continues
One of the reasons all our 450 funeral streams has been successful is because of this.
Please see below some packages we offer

Districts of SurreyDistricts
Surrey (/ˈsʌri/)[2] is a county in South East England which borders Kent to the east, East Sussex to the southeast, West Sussex to the south, Hampshire to the west, Berkshire to the northwest, and Greater London to the northeast. With about 1.2 million people, Surrey is the 12th-most populous English county, the third-most populous home county, after Kent and Essex, and the third-most populous in the Southeast, after Hampshire and Kent.
Surrey is a relatively affluent county. It has the highest proportion of woodland of counties in England. It has four horse racing courses, and golf courses including the international competition venue at Wentworth.
Guildford is popularly regarded as the county town, although Surrey County Council is based extraterritorially at Kingston upon Thames. Surrey is divided into eleven districts.
Contents
Geography[edit]
View from Box Hill
Main article: Geology of Surrey
Surrey is divided in two by the chalk ridge of the North Downs, running east–west. The ridge is pierced by the rivers Wey and Mole, tributaries of the Thames, which formed the northern border of the county before modern redrawing of county boundaries, which has left part of its north bank within the county.[3] To the north of the Downs the land is mostly flat, forming part of the basin of the Thames.[3] The geology of this area is dominated by London Clay in the east, Bagshot Sands in the west and alluvial deposits along the rivers.
To the south of the Downs in the western part of the county are the sandstone Surrey Hills, while further east is the plain of the Low Weald, rising in the extreme southeast to the edge of the hills of the High Weald.[3] The Downs and the area to the south form part of a concentric pattern of geological deposits which also extends across southern Kent and most of Sussex, predominantly composed of Wealden Clay, Lower Greensand and the chalk of the Downs.[3]
Much of Surrey is in the Metropolitan Green Belt. It contains valued reserves of mature woodland (reflected in the official logo of Surrey County Council, a pair of interlocking oak leaves). Among its many notable beauty spots are Box Hill, Leith Hill, Frensham Ponds, Newlands Corner and Puttenham & Crooksbury Commons.[3]
Surrey is the most wooded county in England, with 22.4% coverage compared to a national average of 11.8%[4] and as such is one of the few counties not to recommend new woodlands in the subordinate planning authorities' plans. Box Hill has the oldest untouched area of natural woodland in the UK, one of the oldest in Europe.[citation needed] In 2020 the Surrey Heath district had the highest proportion of tree cover in England at 41%.[5] Surrey also contains England's principal concentration of lowland heath, on sandy soils in the west of the county.
Leith Hill Tower
Agriculture not being intensive, there are many commons and access lands, together with an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways including the North Downs Way, a scenic long-distance path. Accordingly, Surrey provides many rural and semi-rural leisure activities, with a large horse population in modern terms.
The highest elevation in Surrey is Leith Hill near Dorking. It is 294 m (965 ft)[6] above sea level and is the second highest point in southeastern England after Walbury Hill in West Berkshire which is 297 m (974 ft).
Surrey rivers[edit]
The longest river to enter Surrey is the Thames, which historically formed the boundary between the county and Middlesex. As a result of the 1965 boundary changes, many of the Surrey boroughs on the south bank of the river were transferred to Greater London, shortening the length associated with the county. The Thames now forms the Surrey-Berkshire border between Runnymede and Staines-upon-Thames, before flowing wholly within Surrey to Sunbury, from which point it marks the Surrey-Greater London border as far as Surbiton.
The River Wey is the longest tributary of the Thames, (when the Medway, which enters into its lower estuary, is excluded). Other tributaries of the Thames with their courses partially in Surrey include the Mole, the Addlestone branch and Chertsey branch of the River Bourne (which merge shortly before joining the Thames), and the Hogsmill River, which drains Epsom and Ewell.
The upper reaches of the River Eden, a tributary of the Medway, are in Tandridge District, in east Surrey.
The River Colne and its anabranch, the Wraysbury River, make a brief appearance in the north of the county to join the Thames at Staines.
Settlements[edit]
See also: List of places in Surrey and List of settlements in Surrey by population
Surrey has a population of approximately 1.1 million people.[7] Its largest town is Guildford, with a population of 77,057 (2011 census); Woking is second with 62,796. They are followed by Ewell with 39,994 people and Camberley with 30,155. Towns of between 25,000 and 30,000 inhabitants are Ashford, Epsom, Farnham, Staines and Redhill.[8]
Guildford is often regarded as the historic county town,[9] although the county administration was moved to Newington in 1791 and to Kingston upon Thames in 1893. The county council's headquarters have been outside the county's boundaries since 1 April 1965, when Kingston and other areas were included within Greater London by the London Government Act 1963.[10] The administration is due to move to Reigate in 2021.[11]
Due to its proximity to London there are many commuter towns and villages in Surrey. The population density is medium to high on residentially developed land and the area is one of the richest parts of the UK. Much of the north of the county is an urban area contiguous to Greater London. In the west, there is a conurbation straddling the Hampshire/Surrey border, including in Surrey Camberley and Farnham.
History[edit]
Ancient British and Roman periods[edit]
The Roman Stane or Stone Streetruns through Surrey
Before Roman times the area today known as Surrey was probably largely occupied by the Atrebates tribe, centred at Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester), in the modern county of Hampshire, but eastern parts of it may have been held by the Cantiaci, based largely in Kent. The Atrebates are known to have controlled the southern bank of the Thames from Roman texts describing the tribal relations between them and the powerful Catuvellauni on the north bank.
In about AD 42 King Cunobelinus (in Welsh legend Cynfelin ap Tegfan) of the Catuvellauni died and war broke out between his sons and King Verica of the Atrebates. The Atrebates were defeated, their capital captured and their lands made subject to Togodumnus, king of the Catuvellauni, ruling from Camulodunum (Colchester). Verica fled to Gaul and appealed for Roman aid. The Atrebates were allied with Rome during the invasion of Britain in AD 43.[12]
During the Roman era, the only important settlement within the historic area of Surrey was the London suburb of Southwark (now part of Greater London), but there were small towns at Staines, Ewell, Dorking, Croydon and Kingston upon Thames.[13] Remains of Roman rural temples have been excavated on Farley Heath and near Wanborough and Titsey, and possible temple sites at Chiddingfold, Betchworth and Godstone.[14] The area was traversed by Stane Street and other Roman roads.[15]
Formation of Surrey[edit]
During the 5th and 6th centuries Surrey was conquered and settled by Saxons. The names of possible tribes inhabiting the area have been conjectured on the basis of place names. These include the Godhelmingas (around Godalming) and Woccingas (between Woking and Wokingham in Berkshire). It has also been speculated that the entries for the Nox gaga and Oht gaga peoples in the Tribal Hidage may refer to two groups living in the vicinity of Surrey. Together their lands were assessed at a total of 7,000 hides, equal to the assessment for Sussex or Essex.
Surrey may have formed part of a larger Middle Saxon kingdom or confederacy, also including areas north of the Thames. The name Surrey is derived from Sūþrīge (or Suthrige), meaning "southern region", and this may originate in its status as the southern portion of the Middle Saxon territory.[16][17]
If it ever existed, the Middle Saxon kingdom had disappeared by the 7th century, and Surrey became a frontier area disputed between the kingdoms of Kent, Essex, Sussex, Wessex and Mercia, until its permanent absorption by Wessex in 825. Despite this fluctuating situation it retained its identity as an enduring territorial unit. During the 7th century Surrey became Christian and initially formed part of the East Saxon diocese of London, indicating that it was under East Saxon rule at that time, but was later transferred to the West Saxon diocese of Winchester. Its most important religious institution throughout the Anglo-Saxon period and beyond was Chertsey Abbey, founded in 666.
At this point Surrey was evidently under Kentish domination, as the abbey was founded under the patronage of King Ecgberht of Kent.[18] However, a few years later at least part of it was subject to Mercia, since in 673–675 further lands were given to Chertsey Abbey by Frithuwald, a local sub-king (subregulus) ruling under the sovereignty of Wulfhere of Mercia.[19] A decade later Surrey passed into the hands of King Caedwalla of Wessex, who also conquered Kent and Sussex, and founded a monastery at Farnham in 686.[20]
The region remained under the control of Caedwalla's successor Ine in the early 8th century.[21] Its political history for most of the 8th century is unclear, although West Saxon control may have broken down around 722, but by 784–785 it had passed into the hands of King Offa of Mercia.[22] Mercian rule continued until 825, when following his victory over the Mercians at the Battle of Ellandun, King Egbert of Wessex seized control of Surrey, along with Sussex, Kent and Essex.[23][24] It was incorporated into Wessex as a shire and continued thereafter under the rule of the West Saxon kings, who eventually became kings of all of England.

West Saxon and English shire[edit]
A map showing the traditional boundaries of Surrey (c. 800–1899) and its constituent hundreds
In the 9th century England was afflicted, along with the rest of northwestern Europe, by the attacks of Scandinavian Vikings. Surrey's inland position shielded it from coastal raiding, so that it was not normally troubled except by the largest and most ambitious Scandinavian armies.
In 851 an exceptionally large invasion force of Danes arrived at the mouth of the Thames in a fleet of about 350 ships, which would have carried over 15,000 men. Having sacked Canterburyand London and defeated King Beorhtwulf of Mercia in battle, the Danes crossed the Thames into Surrey, but were slaughtered by a West Saxon army led by King Æthelwulf in the Battle of Aclea, bringing the invasion to an end.[25]
Two years later the men of Surrey marched into Kent to help their Kentish neighbours fight a raiding force at Thanet, but suffered heavy losses including their ealdorman, Huda.[26] In 892 Surrey was the scene of another major battle when a large Danish army, variously reported at 200, 250 and 350 ship-loads, moved west from its encampment in Kent and raided in Hampshire and Berkshire. Withdrawing with their loot, the Danes were intercepted and defeated at Farnham by an army led by Alfred the Great's son Edward, the future King Edward the Elder, and fled across the Thames towards Essex.[27]
Surrey remained safe from attack for over a century thereafter, due to its location and to the growing power of the West Saxon, later English, kingdom. Kingston was the scene for the coronations of Æthelstan in 924 and of Æthelred the Unready in 978, and, according to later tradition, also of other 10th-century Kings of England.[28] The renewed Danish attacks during the disastrous reign of Æthelred led to the devastation of Surrey by the army of Thorkell the Tall, which ravaged all of southeastern England in 1009–1011.[29] The climax of this wave of attacks came in 1016, which saw prolonged fighting between the forces of King Edmund Ironside and the Danish king Cnut, including an English victory over the Danes somewhere in northeastern Surrey, but ended with the conquest of England by Cnut.[30]
Cnut's death in 1035 was followed by a period of political uncertainty, as the succession was disputed between his sons. In 1036 Alfred, son of King Æthelred, returned from Normandy, where he had been taken for safety as a child at the time of Cnut's conquest of England. It is uncertain what his intentions were, but after landing with a small retinue in Sussex he was met by Godwin, Earl of Wessex, who escorted him in apparently friendly fashion to Guildford. Having taken lodgings there, Alfred's men were attacked as they slept and killed, mutilated or enslaved by Godwin's followers, while the prince himself was blinded and imprisoned, dying shortly afterwards. This must have contributed to the antipathy between Godwin and Alfred's brother Edward the Confessor, who came to the throne in 1042.
This hostility peaked in 1051, when Godwin and his sons were driven into exile; returning the following year, the men of Surrey rose to support them, along with those of Sussex, Kent, Essex and elsewhere, helping them secure their reinstatement and the banishment of the king's Norman entourage. The repercussions of this antagonism helped bring about the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.[31][32]
Domesday Book records that the largest landowners in Surrey at the end of Edward's reign were Chertsey Abbey and Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex and later king, followed by the estates of King Edward himself. Apart from the abbey, most of whose lands were within the shire, Surrey was not the principal focus of any major landowner's holdings, a tendency which was to persist in later periods.[n 1] Given the vast and widespread landed interests and the national and international preoccupations of the monarchy and the earldom of Wessex, the Abbot of Chertsey was therefore probably the most important figure in the local elite.
The Anglo-Saxon period saw the emergence of the shire's internal division into 14 hundreds, which continued until Victorian times. These were the hundreds of Blackheath, Brixton, Copthorne, Effingham Half-Hundred, Elmbridge, Farnham, Godalming, Godley, Kingston, Reigate, Tandridge, Wallington, Woking and Wotton.

Later Medieval Surrey[edit]
After the Battle of Hastings, the Norman army advanced through Kent into Surrey, where they defeated an English force which attacked them at Southwark and then burned that suburb. Rather than try to attack London across the river, the Normans continued west through Surrey, crossed the Thames at Wallingford in Berkshire and descended on London from the north-west. As was the case across England, the native ruling class of Surrey was virtually eliminated by Norman seizure of land. Only one significant English landowner, the brother of the last English Abbot of Chertsey, remained by the time the Domesday survey was conducted in 1086.[n 2] At that time the largest landholding in Surrey, as in many other parts of the country, was the expanded royal estate, while the next largest holding belonged to Richard fitz Gilbert, founder of the de Clare family.
Runnymede, where Magna Cartawas sealed
In 1088, King William II granted William de Warenne the title of Earl of Surrey as a reward for Warenne's loyalty during the rebellion that followed the death of William I. When the male line of the Warennes became extinct in the 14th century, the earldom was inherited by the Fitzalan Earls of Arundel. The Fitzalan line of Earls of Surrey died out in 1415, but after other short-lived revivals in the 15th century the title was conferred in 1483 on the Howard family, who still hold it. However, Surrey was not a major focus of any of these families' interests.
Guildford Castle, one of many fortresses originally established by the Normans to help them subdue the country, was rebuilt in stone and developed as a royal palace in the 12th century.[n 3] Farnham Castle was built during the 12th century as a residence for the Bishop of Winchester, while other stone castles were constructed in the same period at Bletchingley by the de Clares and at Reigate by the Warennes.[33]
During King John's struggle with the barons, Magna Carta was issued in June 1215 at Runnymede near Egham. John's efforts to reverse this concession reignited the war, and in 1216 the barons invited Prince Louis of France to take the throne. Having landed in Kent and been welcomed in London, he advanced across Surrey to attack John, then at Winchester, occupying Reigate and Guildford castles along the way.
Guildford Castle later became one of the favourite residences of King Henry III, who considerably expanded the palace there. During the baronial revoltagainst Henry, in 1264 the rebel army of Simon de Montfort passed southwards through Surrey on their way to the Battle of Lewes in Sussex. Although the rebels were victorious, soon after the battle royal forces captured and destroyed Bletchingley Castle, whose owner Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Hertford and Gloucester, was de Montfort's most powerful ally.
By the 14th century, castles were of dwindling military importance, but remained a mark of social prestige, leading to the construction of castles at Starborough near Lingfield by Lord Cobham, and at Betchworth by John Fitzalan, whose father had recently inherited the Earldom of Surrey. Though Reigate and Bletchingley remained modest settlements, the role of their castles as local centres for the two leading aristocratic interests in Surrey had enabled them to gain borough status by the early 13th century. As a result, they gained representation in Parliament when it became established towards the end of that century, alongside the more substantial urban settlements of Guildford and Southwark.[34][35] Surrey's third sizeable town, Kingston, despite its size, borough status and historical association with the monarchy, did not gain parliamentary representation until 1832.
Surrey had little political or economic significance in the Middle Ages. Its agricultural wealth was limited by the infertility of most of its soils, and it was not the main power-base of any important aristocratic family, nor the seat of a bishopric.[36] The London suburb of Southwark was a major urban settlement, and the proximity of the capital boosted the wealth and population of the surrounding area, but urban development elsewhere was sapped by the overshadowing predominance of London and by the lack of direct access to the sea. Population pressure in the 12th and 13th centuries initiated the gradual clearing of the Weald, the forest spanning the borders of Surrey, Sussex and Kent, which had hitherto been left undeveloped due to the difficulty of farming on its heavy clay soil.[37]
Surrey's most significant source of prosperity in the later Middle Ages was the production of woollen cloth, which emerged during that period as England's main export industry. The county was an early centre of English textile manufacturing, benefiting from the presence of deposits of fuller's earth, the rare mineral composite important in the process of finishing cloth, around Reigate and Nutfield.[38] The industry in Surrey was focused on Guildford, which gave its name to a variety of cloth, gilforte, which was exported widely across Europe and the Middle East and imitated by manufacturers elsewhere in Europe.[39] However, as the English cloth industry expanded, Surrey was outstripped by other growing regions of production.
Ruins of the monks' dormitory at Waverley Abbey
Though Surrey was not the scene of serious fighting in the various rebellions and civil wars of the period, armies from Kent heading for London via Southwark passed through what were then the extreme north-eastern fringes of Surrey during the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 and Cade's Rebellion in 1450, and at various stages of the Wars of the Roses in 1460, 1469 and 1471. The upheaval of 1381 also involved widespread local unrest in Surrey, as was the case all across south-eastern England, and some recruits from Surrey joined the Kentish rebel army.
In 1082 a Cluniac abbey was founded at Bermondsey by Alwine, a wealthy English citizen of London. Waverley Abbey near Farnham, founded in 1128, was the first Cistercian monastery in England. Over the next quarter-century monks spread out from here to found new houses, creating a network of twelve monasteries descended from Waverley across southern and central England. The 12th and early 13th centuries also saw the establishment of Augustinian priories at Merton, Newark, Tandridge, Southwark and Reigate. A Dominican friary was established at Guildford by Henry III's widow Eleanor of Provence, in memory of her grandson who had died at Guildford in 1274. In the 15th century a Carthusian priory was founded by King Henry V at Sheen. These would all perish, along with the still important Benedictine abbey of Chertsey, in the 16th-century Dissolution of the Monasteries.
Now fallen into disuse, some English counties had nicknames for those raised there such as a 'tyke' from Yorkshire, or a 'yellowbelly' from Lincolnshire. In the case of Surrey, the term was a 'Surrey capon', from Surrey's role in the later Middle Ages as the county where chickens were fattened up for the London meat markets.
Early Modern Surrey[edit]
Under the early Tudor kings, magnificent royal palaces were constructed in northeastern Surrey, conveniently close to London. At Richmond an existing royal residence was rebuilt on a grand scale under King Henry VII, who also founded a Franciscan friary nearby in 1499. The still more spectacular palace of Nonsuch was later built for Henry VIII near Ewell.[40] The palace at Guildford Castle had fallen out of use long before, but a royal hunting lodge existed outside the town. All these have since been demolished.
During the Cornish Rebellion of 1497, the rebels heading for London briefly occupied Guildford and fought a skirmish with a government detachment on Guildown outside the town, before marching on to defeat at Blackheath in Kent.[41] The forces of Wyatt's Rebellion in 1554 passed through what was then northeastern Surrey on their way from Kent to London, briefly occupying Southwark and then crossing the Thames at Kingston after failing to storm London Bridge.
Surrey's cloth industry declined in the 16th century and collapsed in the 17th, harmed by falling standards and competition from more effective producers in other parts of England. The iron industry in the Weald, whose rich deposits had been exploited since prehistoric times, expanded and spread from its base in Sussex into Kent and Surrey after 1550.[42] New furnace technology stimulated further growth in the early 17th century, but this hastened the extinction of the business as the mines were worked out.[43] However, this period also saw the emergence of important new industries, centred on the valley of the Tillingbourne, south-east of Guildford, which often adapted watermills originally built for the now moribund cloth industry. The production of brass goods and wire in this area was relatively short-lived, falling victim to competitors in the Midlands in the mid-17th century, but the manufacture of paper and gunpowder proved more enduring. For a time in the mid-17th century the Surrey mills were the main producers of gunpowder in England.[44][45][46] A glass industry also developed in the mid-16th century on the southwestern borders of Surrey, but had collapsed by 1630, as the wood-fired Surrey glassworks were surpassed by emerging coal-fired works elsewhere in England.[47][48] The Wey Navigation, opened in 1653, was one of England's first canal systems.
George Abbot, the son of a Guildford clothworker, served as Archbishop of Canterbury in 1611–1633. In 1619 he founded Abbot's Hospital, an almshouse in Guildford, which is still operating. He also made unsuccessful efforts to revitalise the local cloth industry. One of his brothers, Robert, became Bishop of Salisbury, while another, Maurice, was a founding shareholder of the East India Companywho became the company's Governor and later Lord Mayor of London.
Southwark expanded rapidly in this period, and by 1600, if considered as a separate entity, it was the second-largest urban area in England, behind only London itself. Parts of it were outside the jurisdiction of the government of the City of London, and as a result the area of Bankside became London's principal entertainment district, since the social control exercised there by the local authorities of Surrey was less effective and restrictive than that of the City authorities.[49] Bankside was the scene of the golden age of Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre, with the work of playwrights including William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson and John Webster performed in its playhouses.[50] The leading actor and impresario Edward Alleyn founded the College of God's Giftin Dulwich with an endowment including an art collection, which was later expanded and opened to the public in 1817, becoming Britain's first public art gallery.
The second Globe theatre, built 1614
Surrey almost entirely escaped the direct impact of fighting during the main phase of the English Civil War in 1642–1646. The local Parliamentarian gentry led by Sir Richard Onslow were able to secure the county without difficulty on the outbreak of war. Farnham Castle was briefly occupied by the advancing Royalistsin late 1642, but was easily stormed by the Parliamentarians under Sir William Waller. A new Royalist offensive in late 1643 saw skirmishing around Farnham between Waller's forces and Ralph Hopton's Royalists, but these brief incursions into the western fringes of Surrey marked the limits of Royalist advances on the county. At the end of 1643 Surrey combined with Kent, Sussex and Hampshire to form the South-Eastern Association, a military federation modelled on Parliament's existing Eastern Association.[51]
In the uneasy peace that followed the Royalists' defeat, a political crisis in summer 1647 saw Sir Thomas Fairfax's New Model Army pass through Surrey on their way to occupy London, and subsequent billeting of troops in the county caused considerable discontent.[51] During the brief Second Civil War of 1648, the Earl of Holland entered Surrey in July, hoping to ignite a Royalist revolt. He raised his standard at Kingston and advanced south, but found little support. After confused manoeuvres between Reigate and Dorking as Parliamentary troops closed in, his force of 500 men fled northwards and was overtaken and routed at Kingston.
Surrey had a central role in the history of the radical political movements unleashed by the civil war. In October 1647 the first manifesto of the movement that became known as the Levellers, The Case of the Armie Truly Stated, was drafted at Guildford by the elected representatives of army regiments and civilian radicals from London. This document combined specific grievances with wider demands for constitutional change on the basis of popular sovereignty. It formed the template for the more systematic and radical Agreement of the People, drafted by the same men later that month. It also led to the Putney Debates shortly afterwards, in which its signatories met with Oliver Cromwell and other senior officers in the Surrey village of Putney, where the army had established its headquarters, to argue over the future political constitution of England. In 1649 the Diggers, led by Gerrard Winstanley, established their communal settlement at St. George's Hill near Weybridge to implement egalitarian ideals of common ownership, but were eventually driven out by the local landowners through violence and litigation. A smaller Digger commune was then established near Cobham, but suffered the same fate in 1650.
Modern history[edit]
Prior to the Great Reform Act of 1832, Surrey returned fourteen Members of Parliament (MPs), two representing the county and two each from the six boroughs of Bletchingley, Gatton, Guildford, Haslemere, Reigate and Southwark. For two centuries before the Reform Act, the dominant political network in Surrey was that of the Onslows of Clandon Park, a gentry family established in the county from the early 17th century, who were raised to the peerage in 1716. Members of the family won at least one of Surrey's two county seats in all but three of the 30 general elections between 1628 and 1768, while they took one or both of the seats for their local borough of Guildford in every election from 1660 to 1830, usually representing the Whig Party after its emergence in the late 1670s. Successive heads of the family held the post of Lord Lieutenant of Surrey continuously from 1716 to 1814.
Kew Palace in 1835
One of the principal residences of the British monarchy in the 18th century was Kew Palace in north Surrey, leased by Queen Caroline of Brandenburg-Ansbach in 1728 and inhabited by her son Frederick, Prince of Wales, and later by King George III and Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. After the latter's death at the palace in 1818 it was sold. The White House was demolished about this time, but the Dutch House survives and is now a museum.[52]
Until the modern era Surrey, apart from its northeastern corner, was quite sparsely populated in comparison with many parts of southern England, and remained somewhat rustic despite its proximity to the capital. Communications began to improve, and the influence of London to increase, with the development of turnpike roads and a stagecoach system in the 18th century.[53][54]A far more profound transformation followed with the arrival of the railways, beginning in the late 1830s.[55] The availability of rapid transport enabled prosperous London workers to settle all across Surrey and travel daily to work in the capital. This phenomenon of commuting brought explosive growth to Surrey's population and wealth, and tied its economy and society inextricably to London.
There was rapid expansion in existing towns like Guildford, Farnham, and most spectacularly Croydon, while new towns such as Woking and Redhill emerged beside the railway lines.[56][57]The huge numbers of incomers to the county and the transformation of rural, farming communities into a "commuter belt" contributed to a decline in the traditional local culture, including the gradual demise of the distinctive Surrey dialect. This may have survived among the "Surrey Men" into the late 19th Century, but is now extinct.
Britain's first crematorium, in the Borough of Woking
Meanwhile, London itself spread swiftly across north-eastern Surrey. In 1800 it extended only to Vauxhall; a century later the city's growth had reached as far as Putney and Streatham. This expansion was reflected in the creation of the County of London in 1889, detaching the areas subsumed by the city from Surrey. The expansion of London continued in the 20th century, engulfing Croydon, Kingston and many smaller settlements. This led to a further contraction of Surrey in 1965 with the creation of Greater London, under the London Government Act 1963; however, Staines and Sunbury-on-Thames, previously in Middlesex, were transferred to Surrey, extending the county across the Thames.[58] Surrey's boundaries were altered again in 1974 when Gatwick Airport was transferred to West Sussex.[59]
In 1849 Brookwood Cemetery was established near Woking to serve the population of London, connected to the capital by its own railway service. It soon developed into the largest burial ground in the world[citation needed]. Woking was also the site of Britain's first crematorium, which opened in 1878, and its first mosque, founded in 1889. In 1881 Godalming became the first town in the world with a public electricity supply[citation needed].
The eastern part of Surrey was transferred from the Diocese of Winchester to that of Rochester in 1877. In 1905 this area was separated to form a new Diocese of Southwark. The rest of the county, together with part of eastern Hampshire, was separated from Winchester in 1927 to become the Diocese of Guildford, whose cathedral was consecrated in 1961.

During the later 19th century Surrey became important in the development of architecture in Britain and the wider world. Its traditional building forms made a significant contribution to the vernacular revival architecture associated with the Arts and Crafts Movement, and would exert a lasting influence. The prominence of Surrey peaked in the 1890s, when it was the focus for globally important developments in domestic architecture, in particular the early work of Edwin Lutyens, who grew up in the county and was greatly influenced by its traditional styles and materials.[60][61][62]
Dennis Sabre fire engine
The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw the demise of Surrey's long-standing industries manufacturing paper and gunpowder. Most of the county's paper mills closed in the years after 1870, and the last survivor shut in 1928. Gunpowder production fell victim to the First World War, which brought about a huge expansion of the British munitions industry, followed by sharp contraction and consolidation when the war ended, leading to the closure of the Surrey powder mills.
New industrial developments included the establishment of the vehicle manufacturers Dennis Brothers in Guildford in 1895. Beginning as a maker of bicycles and then of cars, the firm soon shifted into the production of commercial and utility vehicles, becoming internationally important as a manufacturer of fire engines and buses. Though much reduced in size and despite multiple changes of ownership, this business continues to operate in Guildford. Kingston and nearby Ham became a centre of aircraft manufacturing, with the establishment in 1912 of the Sopwith Aviation Company and in 1920 of its successor H.G. Hawker Engineering, which later became Hawker Aviation and then Hawker Siddeley.
"Dragons teeth" antitank obstacles by the River Wey
During the Second World War a section of the GHQ Stop Line, a system of pillboxes, gun emplacements, anti-tank obstacles and other fortifications, was constructed along the North Downs. This line, running from Somerset to Yorkshire, was intended as the principal fixed defence of London and the industrial core of England against the threat of invasion. German invasion plans envisaged that the main thrust of their advance inland would cross the North Downs at the gap in the ridge formed by the Wey valley, thus colliding with the defence line around Guildford.
Between the wars Croydon Airport, opened in 1920, served as the main airport for London, but it was superseded after the Second World War by Heathrow, and closed in 1959. Gatwick Airport, where commercial flights began in 1933, expanded greatly in the 1950s and 1960s, but the area occupied by the airport was transferred from Surrey to West Sussex in 1974.[citation needed]
In June 1972, British European Airways Flight 548 crashed near Staines just after taking off from Heathrow Airport. This remains the worst air accident in the UK.
Historic architecture and monuments[edit]
The gate of Abbot's Hospital, Guildford
Few traces of the ancient British and Roman periods survive in Surrey. There are a number of round barrows and bell barrows in various locations, mostly dating to the Bronze Age. Remains of Iron Age hillforts exist at Holmbury Hill, Hascombe Hill, Anstiebury (near Capel), Dry Hill (near Lingfield), St Ann's Hill (Chertsey) and St George's Hill (Weybridge).[63] Most of these sites were created in the 1st century BC and many were re-occupied during the middle of the 1st century AD.[64] Only fragments of Stane Street and Ermine Street, the Roman roads which crossed the county, remain.
Anglo-Saxon elements survive in a number of Surrey churches, notably at Guildford (St Mary), Godalming (St Peter & St Paul), Stoke D'Abernon (St Mary), Thursley, Witley, Compton and Albury (in Old Albury).[65]
Numerous medieval churches exist in Surrey, but the county's parish churches are typically relatively small and simple, and experienced particularly widespread destruction and remodelling of their form in the course of Victorian restoration. Important medieval[66] church interiors survive at Chaldon, Lingfield, Stoke D'Abernon, Compton and Dunsfold. Large monastic churches fell into ruin after their institutions were dissolved, although fragments of Waverley Abbey and Newark Priory survive. Southwark Priory, no longer in Surrey has survived, though much altered, and is now Southwark Cathedral. Farnham Castle largely retains its medieval structure, while the keep and fragments of the curtain walls and palace buildings survive at Guildford Castle.[67]
Very little non-military secular architecture survives in Surrey from earlier than the 15th century. Wholly or partially surviving houses and barns from that century, with considerable later modifications, include those at Bletchingley, Littleton, East Horsley, Ewhurst, Dockenfield, Lingfield, Limpsfield, Oxted, Crowhurst, Haslemere and Old Surrey Hall.[68]
Major examples of 16th-century architecture include the grand mid-century country houses of Loseley Park and Sutton Place and the old building of the Royal Grammar School, Guildford, founded in 1509.[69] A considerable number of smaller houses and public houses of the 16th century are also still standing. From the 17th century the number of surviving buildings proliferates further. Abbot's Hospital, founded in 1619, is a grand edifice built in the Tudor style, despite its date. More characteristic examples of major 17th-century building include West Horsley Place, Slyfield Manor, and the Guildhall in Guildford.[70]

‘High quality Funeral Streaming Services’
We are the most trusted, best, professional & discreet people you need to help you in your time of need. Please contact us today so we can talk over what you would like from us and we can hopefully book you in. Darren
We bring our own ‘high speed internet’ for Churches and crematoriums and we can also stream outdoors in cemeteries for graveside burials
We can create beautiful caring funeral streaming with just one operated broadcast camera to help give the emotion and we can help guide the viewers eyes where we think they need to be… this is a very creative part.
This 1 camera covers many different shots angles from the coffin coming in from the back door to all that happens at the front while keeping mourners out as much as we can. We can also with the zoom lens follow the coffin out after the service. We have been complimented many times on our camera skills to help tell the story through creativity and emotion.
Some families think more cameras better value ie 3 or 4 cameras is better. Now of course we can add cameras if you wish and have cameras outside the Church door etc to get cortege arrival and departure that works but we don’t think you need to set the Church up like a TV studio or switch to 4 different cameras making the service more like a conference to watch and not very discreet.
We must remember this is a funeral service of a loved one not a Multicam TV set. But if you think more cameras the better please just ask we can help but see our examples on the examples page to see why one discreet professional broadcast camera and operator in the right hands is so much more moving and certainly more discreet.
You do not have to have low quality Crematorium web cam or Church webcam all from just inside. Get us to stream the cortege arrivals outside as well as the coffin coming in and all the service all with broadcast quality cameras and sound so we can make a proper memorial stream and video that you can keep forever. You are allowed to get us in to do it properly. When “ in house funeral streaming is used too many families after have said to the funeral directors “ Is this all we have ? Is this it ? “ Get us in as you only have one chance to get it done professionally.

Some funeral streaming people just starting because weddings have stopped have failed to stream on the day or turn up late or not turn up at all. We have done over 250 funerals and all a success.
Thank you so much for the service yesterday, I can't thank you enough for how beautifully the funeral service was captured and shared live to so many family members near and far who watched it and felt a part of the service, we received so many comments on how lovely and clear it was'.Thank you for your kindness once again. Regards Amish”
“Unfortunately for us all there are many people out there after a ‘short term work’ and are coming in to funeral streaming and making a mess and disappointing families on the funeral day. (they will drop funerals when weddings and corporate come back)
Some are cheap and bad as they are desperate some are expensive and bad. We are priced in the middle and deliver exceptional customer support, care and professionalism.
Our feedback on this website should back this up and we do hope we can look after you too. We are hearing now too many times ‘we are having it done cheaper’ what they are not telling us afterwards is how bad it went on the day and after talking to many of my Funeral Director friends it all goes very bad too many times. Lack of experience and care.

You really delivered a great piece and I’m so happy I didn’t settle for the crematorium’s webcam. Thank you for your efforts in helping do justice for my mum who unfortunately died too young. Nick

Wide angle static camera with no emotion or keepsake value from the Church or crematorium. You are allowed to use us for better.
To the left is a normal example of a Crematoriums and most Churches streaming webcam facilities. Very low quality wide angle static camera with no emotion at all and normally bad sound.

How we can help with Funeral Streaming
We bring our own PORTABLE 4 network bonded high speed internet to ANY location most times achieving 100Mb upload speed.
Funeral Streaming services and ‘multi location’ filming a funeral or memorial service.
Outside Camera to stream the Cortège arrivals and departure if required
Funeral Streaming at Crematoriums ( Our filming is so much nicer than a webcam in the corner )
Funeral Streaming at Churches & Chapels & other religious venues
Funeral Streaming in woodland and natural burial grounds
We can stream cortège arrivals as well as guard of honours, horses and carriages and fly overs
Multiple locations such as at the family home, then the Church then a 3rd location such as the graveside
We bring our own Internet and we bond up to 4 different mobile networks to ensure a high quality reliable stream. We have outdoor antennas and equipment and if the location has a weak signal we can find a strong signal over 100 meters away where there is a signal.
We are strongly being recommended by Fathers, Priest, Celebrants, Vicars etc all over the UK not only because we never ever let them down but by the professionalism we have at the venues.
Many Funeral Directors recommend us as they also know we will not let them down.
Funeral Directors have told me too many stories of very cheap funeral streamers being a total disaster and not only that funeral streams just fail on the day.
We can also make photo slide shows and tribute videos that you can play on the day at a Crematorium and help with any other Audio Visual requirements such as PA systems to play music and audio tributes.
If you want to use the crematoriums internal low quality streaming services for the service we can be outside to record and live stream the cortège arrivals then after the live stream we go back to the stdio and can edit them all together so you have one complete memorial video.
We are a complete one stop Funeral Audio Visual Solution that we are very proud of. The quality of our streams have been compared to watching the BBC in HD in many reviews we have had.
If you want it done perfectly & professionally then please get in touch with us so we can help you.
If your Crematorium, Church, Chapel or Natural Burial ground already has a streaming facility in place we absolutely urge you to see a few examples of what you might end up getting and how reliable it is. The Feedback we have heard is quality is bad, failures high, experience poor. sound poor, picture quality patchy and as for a memorial video to keep forever very disappointing.
Make sure you see a few examples of what you might end up with. Too many disappointed customers if you ask me. We are here to help you get much better. For more info on this please click here. Dont let this happen to you. Also Funeral Streaming is not all the same. Some are very good some are very bad.
We are very very discreet. We do not bring 3 or 4 cameras and turn the Church into a TV studio. ( unless you ask us to of course) because this is a Funeral and we respect this.
Instead of many cameras placed all around the Church we position ourselves perfectly where our 1 broadcast camera with zoom lens can cover the angle of 4 cameras all from one spot controlled by a person. All of this with perfect sound all with backup. Discreet and professional is important for us. ( We often have a 2nd camera outside for the cortège arrivals when asked )

We now have a lovely keepsake too! Thank you so much for helping us and I will be asking the church to keep a record of your details to recommend to future funerals should they wish to have a video live stream” Ella More reviews click here

We are now getting feedback from new customers and funeral directors that families are not that happy with Church or Crematorium wide angle locked off CCTV style in house funeral streaming & recordings. When they receive the video stream after they say “ is this it ? Is this what we have to look at and keep forever ?. “
We are finding people want funeral streaming and videography which is much more crafted and special, something to watch as a memorial for generations to come.
All our streams and videos are with a proper broadcast camera with a real person behind it . We are professional cameraman and video producers using the zoom lens to change shots to be more organic and much more like a video to watch rather than cctv camera locked on to the back of a wall.
We are professional Funeral Videographers with many years working in the funeral profession. We to date have worked on over 200 funerals streaming, videography and additional Audio Visual equipment like live relays, large TVs and PA systems as well as controlling the music and video being played. Experience like this is crucial.
You do have a choice. If the Church or crematorium offer this to you ask them for an example and if its not to your liking you are allowed to bring your own people in like us. If they don’t just use a different Church or crematorium who will. This has happened many a times.
You must remember the streaming or video experience and quality must be exceptionally high standard as you will be keeping this video forever and you owe it to the families and friends across the world to have the best experience possible of their loved ones. We have lots of examples of our streams on this website please take a look around.
Our Funeral Streams look like Funeral Videography rather than streams. Our Funeral Video production is something to treasure. Our contact details are above. Please contact us. Darren
Our examples can be found if you click here. You can see the quality and production is far superior than any Church webcast or Cremaotroioum web cast or indeed anybody else who does funeral streaming. We are not all the same. I have heard with other funeral streaming people its all gone badly on the day. Not with us. You really do get what you pay for. We are the ones to use. You have one chance. It’s too late after.
If you would like to call us and talk to us first please ask for Darren, he will help you with any questions or concerns you might have.

Important note about Funeral Streaming.
Not all Funeral Streaming companies are the same. Some are Cheap. Cheap funeral streaming services are cheap for a reason. They do not invest; they have cheap kit and they are not experienced in Funeral Streaming and internet signal challenges they bring as well as not putting the effort in. Don’t be fooled by a cheap price. The day is way too important for it to fail. It must go right. It’s too late after.
I have heard so much bad feedback about failed funeral streams from cheaper people. Question you must ask yourself. On the day when the funeral streaming fails was it worth the money?
Funeral directors are coming directly to us now as they have had to deal with the embarrassment of failed funeral streams from cheap inexperienced companies or videographers having a go. We are professional funeral videographers & funeral streamers and we put in incredible amounts of work and time into each one of our customers. We have been helping families with funeral services for over 5 years.
Our reputation is high, and we are making sure it stays that way.
Please see our examples here of how we do it and the quality to expect. Examples
We will look after you.
Im Darren & I am here to help you at these distressing times with services such as funeral streaming, funeral videography funeral photography & funeral audio visual equipment.

We will not take up much of your time but rest assured nothing will get in our way to make sure you get what you would like, the same as if we were also in your position as we have been already and will be more so in this journey of life.
We are professional polite, discreet and honest.

Funeral Streaming / Funeral Videography / Funeral Photography / Tribute Videos from photos / Funeral Audio Visual Services
Our funeral live streaming professional broadcast video camera uses a zoom lens so we can get various shots wide and closer with just one camera and not moving. Examples below of this. The Funeral Celebrant is Mary Morgan
Funeral Live Streaming / Funeral Videographer / Funeral Photography / Funeral Audio Visual Services
Because we specialise in the Funeral industry we are well respected with Funeral Directors, Crematoriums, Churches, Chapels, Gravesides, Funeral homes. We are often recommended to customers across the UK for our professionalism, customer care and results.
Funeral streaming at a natural woodland burial ground
Todays feedback from Father Jeff “Dear Darren we have had many people in here streaming over the last few months but you & Darren were by far the most professional, polite and discreet and the high quality of the stream was fantastic so we want you to film our Churches £400.000 refresh launch in October for us, I do hope you can help“ ( yes we will )
My assistant is also called Darren so you might meet him too.
We appreciate that you are here at a very difficult time in your life, having lost my uncle earlier this year and just recently lost my younger cousin I understand some of the pain. Sometimes initially it just does not sink in. It does not feel real.
We have been in the Funeral Audio-Visual services since 2013 it started with Funeral Videography, Photography and then some large TV hires with live link cameras for overcrowded Churches & PA systems and of course more recently the funeral streaming services. People kept commenting that it’s the first time they have found people that actually deliver and make work what they said they would.
It’s the Funeral Streaming services that are being asked for more and more these days. We have now done over 150 funerals all over the UK streaming in Crematoriums, Gravesides Churches, and Woodland burial grounds. (we bring our own fast internet)
Not all streaming or funeral streaming are the same. Streaming a funeral is completely different to a corporate streaming or an events company streaming the funeral. Totally different results and dare I say it without the funeral streaming experience the video stream will probably fail on the day as they may not be versed on getting a signal in remote areas and with short setup time.
It’s too late after. It’s like what Benjamin Franklin said: The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
We are fair priced for the service and quality you will receive. If you decide to use us or somebody else, please check out their reviews (make sure they read genuine not made up like many have done) and also see 5 or 6 video examples they have done already. We have helped over 150 families so far this year with funeral streaming and so far, every one of them successful.
With funeral streaming you have to know how to work with and help grieving families, funeral directors, vicars, priest, fathers and celebrants as well as how to behave at a crematorium with sometimes just minutes to setup. It’s all very delicate but we have years of experience in these situations. When others behave without true respect and or can’t get signal and the streaming fails, there is no going back. You have one chance to get this right and use the right people. Please read our reviews here which we are so proud of.
We have worked outside on the hottest days in summer to the wettest days and if outside we must always plan for rain.
We treat our customers how we would like to be treated ourselves should the situation arrive. We treat each customer exactly the same as if we just have one customer, you. It must go right.
We also try and make talking to us or booking our service as simple as possible with minimum effort from you. You have enough to deal with and I like to think once we have some information that’s all we need from you. We get on with the rest ourselves in the background.
Some funerals are 30 minutes, and some are 2 hours, but we treat each one with the same importance and we must look after you as much as possible. Funeral Streaming is just too important for it to go wrong.
Please visit our customer testimonial page which is updated weekly so you too can feel confident with using us and we are the right people to use.
We are on the preferred suppliers list with many high-end Funeral Directors who call us first, but many have found us direct on google and you need to feel safe and confident with the funeral streaming provider you use.
We are not all the same and the services and dedication you get from others will not be the same. How can it.
Some are just getting on board to fill the demand and will be gone once corporate and weddings are back.
We are here to stay as we have been since 2013 helping the Funeral industry
We are so dedicated on making sure your stream goes perfect. A 30-minute service can take us many hours on the day, please visit this link to see a funeral service day when using us. Then you will know how much effort we put in for you and every other family.
Each funeral is different, and we need to make sure we are prepared.
We have had some families change the funeral date to make sure we were the ones that streamed it and nobody else. This is truly humbling

Dear Darren,
You may recall coming to St Peter's Church in Parkstone to record the funeral of my wife, Margaret Jones, on 19th August. You had been in touch with my daughter Ali
I have received many complements about the quality of your video. Today a card from my friends Pat and Mike stated "Sadly we have watched three videos of funerals recently and your recording was by far the best".
Thank you for providing a high quality reproduction, including the suppression of the ringing noise made by the church's independent PA.

Funeral Streaming
We use ‘Vimeo Live Pro’ as our platform and here is a message from them ‘ We do not cap the number of viewers you can have on your event. We use a fully scalable player delivery system and handle millions of concurrent plays daily”
Our mission is to make sure we make the whole process of using us to help you as simple and as easy as possible. We understand this is a difficult time for you and you also have so much to do. We will make it very simple for you so don’t worry we are very experienced with over 75 funeral streams & funeral videos already made in the last few months . Darren
Most Churches don’t have internet and thats good as we don’t need it. We bring our own and if the signal is also bad inside the Church we use our outdoor kit. We bond any or all of the 4biggest UK LTE Networks together to make one high speed reliable internet connection. You are in good hands.
More video examples below of our funeral streaming work.
People are now contacting us as they do not want to use bad quality “zoom” or see peoples faces and have pages full of chat. They say it’s not the time or place. They just want to watch the live stream in good quality and pay their respects.
They have also said they have watched too many ‘failed funeral streams’ from cheap people not doing it correctly or professionally or using an iPad . Ive even heard that a family member was ‘zooming a funeral’ badly and the camera kit fell in onto of the coffin. They had to climb in and get it out as well as the connection kept dropping.
We are not like that. We are a professional funeral streaming company. We do not use zoom or any the cheap method. People contact us as they want it done perfectly and professionally in this one chance situation.
We video stream more like a video production to give you a memorial its that bit more special.
We can open a chat box for the desktop versions of watching the streams if you want it but usually we turn it off so mourners can focus on paying their respects on the funeral live stream rather than gimmicks or additions or bad quality.
We are different than others… Better Service - Better Funeral Streaming - Better Funeral Video Production. Don’t just take our word for it… Make sure you see our customer reviews too click here
Most other peoples streaming fail because of the internet connection they have and lack of experience. We have all the 4 major data connections Vodafone 4G, EE 4G, o2, 4G and Three 4G and we BOND these networks together to act as one.
This means we get a great high speed intent connection all the time. We have been doing funeral videography for over 10 years now and we have streamed over 60 funerals and traveling all over the UK in crematoriums, Chapels, Churches & Forests & Meadow for Gravesides.
Most people have commented that they just didn’t realise we were there. We will look after you. Please contact us today so we can help you at this difficult time.

We can stream at the House, in the Gardens, Gravesides, Mosque, Crypt inc Crematoriums. We can stream and record anywhere. We bring own own internet.
Of course most crematoriums have their own ‘inside only’ wide angle camera ready for streaming. The cheap streaming they offer is not the same quality as ours. We have had many families ask us to stream for them even though the crematorium has a camera inside. They just don’t like the quality for their loved ones last moments. So many people complain about the bad connection and bad quality of the stream during crematoriums in house streaming. Some crematoriums have decided to just turn it off and stop using it because of all the complaints.
We stream very different, we have a zoom lens an we can be at the back and zoom right into the lectern for the readings. Our stream quality is HD and more of a video production not vegas wedding style locked off camera. Not only that we can also be outside to start with to stream people arriving and the cortège arrival. Then we wheel the camera inside to stream the rest of the service. Before you decide to just book the crematoriums webcam please ask to see an example of one of theirs. If it’s not what you want you need to contact us.
To see examples of our streams both outside and crematoriums to see the difference please click here. We all must remember that this streaming and recording is not just for now its a treasured keepsake to have for generations to come. You all deserve this. It’s too late after which is what many are finding out.
We bring our own high speed internet for both inside and outside for Gravesides and streets in second locations I will update this small section below often to show our latest feedback. The archived feedback lives here to see
July 2020 Funeral Streaming & Recording
Dear Darren, thank you so much for your great work today. We got back home an hour ago intending to just peak at the recording, and ended up watching it end to end. It's really marvellous. I'm sorry I didn't see you in the chapel, or I would have said hello. Not only great at videoing, you are a model of sensitivity too.

Streaming is where we are busiest right now but a full list of services are below
Funeral Streaming in Crematoriums, Chapels, Churches, Graveside, meadows and woodlands. We also record in HD for online streaming or download after. We are very successful streaming in Churches as we have outdoor masts as signals in Churches can be very weak.
Unlike the crematoriums lower quality wide angle stream camera we offer a HD manned camera with a zoom so we can vary the shot for a more Video film look rather than CCTV look. If possible we can also wheel the camera outside so we can stream the cortege arriving before we move inside. No limits to people who can watch the stream online. Its as simple as click the private link and thats it.
Filming the funeral to make a memorial video from the house, the journey the service and committal or just from the cortege arrival and the service.
Tribute Videos, We can take your home photos (emailed to us), add music and make a tribute video for you to keep or play at the service or play at the end of the ‘service stream for remote watchers’ both inside funerals or gravesides.
We can supply Audio Visual Equipment like large TVs and sound as well as cameras in the Church relayed to other rooms near the Church so extra people can watch should the Church be too full. We can also live stream the feed so your friends and family across the world can watch too.

UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF STREAMING VIEWERS ACROSS THE WORLD
Please don’t find out after the funeral day that the people you chose to stream the funeral were not very good and it failed. Lots of stories are now coming in about failed streaming with people trying it themselves with bad quality zoom as well as Obitus and Wesley servers crashing. We use Vimeo Live as our streaming platform and 3 to 4 different mobile providers ‘bonded’ for our connection local end not just one.
We at FAV bond 3 to 4 mobile connections to make sure its the best it can be as well as very experienced in funeral streaming. We are also being asked to come in and stream in crematoriums where they already have a streaming service in… reason being it looks like bad CCTV footage and keeps failing. Just use us for this one chance that you have.
We know right now looking over packages can just be too daunting too confusing, too many options and all you want is a simple stream. Feel free to chat with the chat box, text or just call me on the phone 07766 754944

There are of course many reasons why families choose to have a funeral filmed, web streamed or need audio visual equipment.

As well as filming, and live streaming we also provide cameras and large TVs to help the mourners watch the service as it happens in adjoining marquees, gazebos or any additional rooms near the church in case the number of mourners is higher than the church can handle.

A recent testimonial (more on the testimonial page )
“Planning a funeral is difficult enough especially when you are having the added pressure to film it live. Fortunately working in the video production industry myself I knew what I needed to do and when I spoke Darren I felt confident he and his team wouldn’t disappoint.
Nothing was too much trouble to organise and with a complex multi camera and screen set up required Darren pulled it together seamlessly.
On the day he and his team were respectful and professional and to the people that couldn’t be in the main church it enabled them to feel like they were part of the main service. I’d highly recommend”.

More about Funerals here, worth a read
A funeral is a ceremony connected with the final disposition of a corpse, such as a burial or cremation, with the attendant observances.[1] Funerary customs comprise the complex of beliefs and practices used by a culture to remember and respect the dead, from interment, to various monuments, prayers, and ritualsundertaken in their honor. Customs vary between cultures and religious groups. Common secular motivations for funerals include mourning the deceased, celebrating their life, and offering support and sympathy to the bereaved; additionally, funerals may have religious aspects that are intended to help the soulof the deceased reach the afterlife, resurrection or reincarnation.
The funeral usually includes a ritual through which the corpse receives a final dispositon.[2] Depending on culture and religion, these can involve either the destruction of the body (for example, by cremation or sky burial) or its preservation (for example, by mummification or interment). Differing beliefs about cleanliness and the relationship between body and soul are reflected in funerary practices. A memorial service or celebration of life is a funerary ceremony that is performed without the remains of the deceased person.[3]
The word funeral comes from the Latin funus, which had a variety of meanings, including the corpse and the funerary rites themselves. Funerary art is art produced in connection with burials, including many kinds of tombs, and objects specially made for burial like flowers with a corpse.
Funerals can be very sad times but we must also remember it’s a time to celebrate the life they had. We can help with funeral videographer, Funeral Videography any funeral videoing

One of our own stories...
I have recently gone to my uncle’s service. It was a very moving service and a celebration about his life and all the things, he had done. It was tearful but also laughter at the things he did and the way he was. He really was quite a character.
Many of my relatives could not make it to the service, some are too old to safely make it, some were not very able people and others just live in a different part of the world.
They would have loved to have watched the service later that evening the same day or the following day just so they could feel part of the love, laughter and help with closure.
We can help make that happen, We can video, edit and deliver online using the internet so you can send the link to download the film that very day or the nest day. They too can join the amazing gathering of people and the respect listen to the stories.
We don't film the committal unless asked.
We are unobtrusive and very respectful and experienced
