Webcast
The full service in the chapel can be streamed on the internet. Tell your funeral director or the Cemetery Office if you want this service.
Those wishing to view the service will receive a unique username and password. This is supplied to the family a few days before the service. The family will have complete control over who they pass the username and password to.
The camera is designed to show a view as if you are attending the service sitting towards the rear of the chapel.
Webcast quality depends on internet connections from both sides. Because of this, we are unable to guarantee it. We upload webcasts the same evening and keep them online for 7 days.
We do our best to make sure that everyone delivering the service knows where to stand for the camera and microphone.
We cannot accept responsibility for:
- poor recordings if people stand away from the microphone
- ambient sounds picked up within or outside the chapel
You can order a recording of the service anytime after the service has taken place. The standard format for recordings USB memory stick. If you want a DVD recording, state this at time of ordering.
How to book
Only the funeral organiser can request our recorded options. They should do so through their funeral director at least 3 working days before the service.
Image tributes
At a selected point in the service, multiple images can be displayed in a slideshow on the 2 chapel screens. If you wish you may select a piece of music to go with them.
How to book
Contact your funeral director who will inform the crematorium office of your request. Your funeral director will need to know how many photos you wish to include as this affects your fee.
Pay attention to selecting the type of tribute you need.
Audio recordings
We can record the sound of the service and have the recording copied on to one or more memory sticks.
How to book
Tell your funeral director to notify the crematorium and make arrangements.
If you are not using a funeral director, contact the cemetery and crematorium office.

Advice for people conducting services
There is only 1 microphone in the chapel, located on the lectern.
If you move away from the lectern, the system will not pick up your voice and it will not be recorded.
A lapel radio microphone is available for the person conducting the service, should they wish to move around the chapel. They need to discuss this with staff before the day of the service.
During hymns, the person taking the service should step off the lectern. This is to make sure the microphone does not isolate their voice and allows everyone to be heard.
After the last mourner leaves the chapel, wait for the recording to stop before you go back inside. This is to make sure we are able to capture a good quality recording. The crematorium staff will say when it is okay to re-enter.
