WE OFFER LIVE STREAMING TO THE AFRICAN - CARIBBEAN COUNTRIES & THE REST OF THE WORLD FOR FAMILIES ACROSS THE UK
The Caribbean is a subregion of the Americas that includes the Caribbean Sea and its islands, some of which are surrounded by the Caribbean Sea and some of which border both the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean; the nearby coastal areas on the mainland are sometimes also included in the region
We work in the UK and we are often asked by Caribbean families to live stream from the UK to many other countries across the world.
We have helped hundreds of families with funeral streaming with roots in the Caribbean. Most of these families have ‘big funerals’ with large attendance of mourners and they do not hold back. They want and get the best of everything for their families when it comes to the passing of a loved one. The connection back home is extremely strong, with often up to 400 people all over the Caribbean joining the live stream.
With this in mind and the large attendants at the Church we still make sure we respect that this is first a funeral and not all about the live streaming. We do not interfere with funeral proceedings by getting in the way of the cortege or during the servcie. We let our cameras do the work. We have wireless cameras.
Often Caribbean families like to see lots of faces to be live streamed so many opt for an extra wireless camera at the front and this is also useful for when they remove the coffin lid so people can say there final goodbyes
"My relatives and close companions in the Caribbean have been actively engaging with a multitude of live streams since the onset of the pandemic ,many years ago. They unanimously concur that yours stood out as the pinnacle of excellence. The best they have seen. The seamless synchronisation of sound and picture quality and multiple camera angles was maintained impeccably from start to finish.
Your unwavering professionalism throughout the entirety of the endeavour did not go unnoticed by us all. (we have a lot of family as you found out lol ) Furthermore, your willingness to accommodate my inquiries during unconventional hours (sorry) underscored your dedication to customer satisfaction. Discovering your service was truly a significant moment for us as there was too many to choose from, and we harbour no hesitation in using of your expertise once more in the future for any of our family members and friends" Highly recommended ! Thank you so much Darren ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Sharon
NOBODY WILL BEAT US ON QUALITY
We often find the frustration of Caribbean families that although many Churches now have some sort of streaming facility they do not live stream at the house, the cortege arrivals outside the Church, departure or at the cemetery.
If families only want the Church service live streamed by the Church kit and nothing else we are often called in to help with the funeral photography instead or supplying large TVs at the wake to show the Visual Tribute of memorials that they have asked us to make.

What happens at a Caribbean Funeral
Caribbean funerals often blend solemnity with celebration, reflecting the cultural richness and traditions of the region. While customs can vary between islands and communities, there are some common elements:
Wake or Vigil: Family and friends gather at the home of the deceased or a community centre to pay respects. This can last for several days, providing ample time for mourners to come together and share memories.
Music and Dancing: Unlike more somber Western funeral customs, Caribbean funerals often include lively music, singing, and even dancing. Calypso, reggae, or soca music may be played to celebrate the life of the departed.
Food and Drink: Large quantities of food are typically prepared and shared among mourners as a gesture of hospitality and support. Traditional dishes such as rice and peas, jerk chicken, or fried fish are common.
Traditional Dress: Mourners may wear traditional Caribbean attire, which varies depending on the island and cultural background. This can include colorful garments, headscarves, or even specific colors that hold cultural significance.
Religious Ceremonies: Many Caribbean funerals incorporate religious elements, whether Christian, Hindu, Muslim, or another faith. Prayers, hymns, and scripture readings are often part of the service.
Procession: The funeral procession, often led by a band playing music, accompanies the deceased to the place of burial or cremation. This can be a solemn yet celebratory affair, with mourners following behind the hearse.
Graveside Rituals: Once at the burial site, there may be additional prayers, songs, or speeches offered in memory of the departed. Family and friends may also participate in the lowering of the casket or scattering of ashes.
After-Funeral Gatherings: Following the burial, it's common for mourners to gather once again for a meal or reception. This provides further opportunity for sharing stories, offering condolences, and providing support to the bereaved family.
Overall, Caribbean funerals are often characterised by a sense of community, music, and celebration of the life lived, even amidst the sorrow of parting.
