You may ask yourself why your funeral service provider's live stream service requires online guests to register to attend the funeral ceremony via live stream or watch the recording afterwards. Here are the reasons Guest Registration is important.
1. It protects the dignity and privacy of your family
When your funeral director schedules a the live stream broadcast for you, you will automatically receive an email with a personalized registration link, which you may share with family members and friends. You may also ask the funeral home to also post that link on the obituary page to invite people to attend online if they can't be there in person.
2. You can gives your online guests special access to personalized features
After registering, your online guests will automatically receive:
a. A secure link to join the live broadcast (to protect your family's privacy)
b. Access to free, live guest support (in case of difficulty connecting to the broadcast)
c. An invitation to sign the family's guest book (with a link to the obituary page)
d. Advice on how to attend and participate fully in the online experience (a short video)
e. Event reminders, one day and one hour before the funeral ceremony (so they won't forget)
f. A thank-you message with a link to view the recording (in case they were late or unable to watch the live broadcast)
3. You can know who exactly who attended online
Families can know who attended via live stream and can:
a. Access their email addresses (should they wish to personally express their thanks)
3. Manage privacy and access to the live stream, recording, and guest features
4. Activate the special guest features, including the Memories Gallery and Private Messaging
Note:
It is possible to provide access to the live stream broadcast without requiring guests to register. Your guests, however, will not have access to live support or the special online guest experience your funeral home wants to offer them.
