Curlew Hills Memory Gardens Offers Live Streaming for Funerals

Curlew Hills Memory Gardens is proud to offer families the option to live stream visitations and services effective immediately. The real-time live steaming service is available for all on-site chapel gatherings including visitations, funerals, memorial services and private viewings. Curlew Hills will charge no additional fees for this service.

“In an effort to keep the families we serve safe and well, we are pleased to offer the use of live stream technology so that anyone interested in attending a service can do so virtually,” comments Keenan Knopke, President & CEO of Curlew Hills Memory Gardens. “As the news of the Corona Virus continues to unfold, giving families the ability to attend a service online will certainly be a prudent decision for many people.”

Curlew Hills utilizes a technology company which provides live streaming services exclusively for the funeral industry. The funeral service is streamed through a high speed internet connection and a link is provided to family of the deceased who can then share the link with whomever they choose. This enables family to virtually invite as many people as they desire to the funeral service. A recording of the service is then archived and is accessible through the same email invitation which can be downloaded or shared for future generations.

“Providing the opportunity for families to watch a service online is wise in light of the current Corona Virus situation. But is smart beyond that as well,” continues Mr. Knopke. “It is ideal for out-of-town family and friends, for people who may not be well, and for younger generations who are accustomed to accessing most things via the internet. With technology an increasing part of all our daily lives, this just makes sense.”
