Catholic Funeral Mass: Filming & Live Streaming by Funeral Filming
At Funeral Filming, we appreciate the sacred traditions of the Catholic Funeral Mass. We are committed to offering compassionate, professional filming and funeral live streaming services, so that every hymn, prayer, and moment of reflection can be shared and preserved—whether loved ones are present in the pew or joining virtually.

What a Catholic Funeral Mass Involves
The Catholic Funeral Mass (also called the Mass of Christian Burial) is a deeply reverent rite, offering faith, hope, and spiritual comfort rooted in centuries of tradition. It includes:
-
Reception of the Body – The body is received in the church, blessed, and placed near the altar, often with holy water as a reminder of baptism.
-
Introductory Rites – The priest greets attendees, opening prayers are said, and a hymn is sung to begin the service.
-
Liturgy of the Word – Scripture readings, psalms, Gospel reading, followed by a homily to reflect on life, death, and resurrection.
-
Liturgy of the Eucharist – Central to the Mass, this includes consecration of bread and wine and Holy Communion (for those eligible).
-
Final Commendation & Incense – Special prayers for the departed, with incense and rites to commend the soul to God’s mercy and peace.
-
Procession to the Cemetery & Rite of Committal – Following the Mass, a burial service or committal at the gravesite, with blessings and farewell.
How Funeral Filming Enhances Your Catholic Funeral Mass
-
Live Streaming & Filming – We provide a secure live stream of the funeral Mass so that those unable to attend physically can join in real time. Our team films every key rite—from Reception, through Eucharist, to the committal.
-
Respectful, Discreet Coverage – Our equipment and videography style are unobtrusive, allowing the Mass to proceed with dignity. Quality audio captures prayers, music, and homilies with clarity.
-
Full and Highlight Video Retention – You will receive the complete recorded Mass. We also offer edited highlight videos (favourite hymns, readings, eulogy) so you can share or revisit the most meaningful moments.
-
Pre-Planning & Personalisation – We work with you to determine which parts you want filmed or streamed, which readings and hymns are important, and any church-specific requirements. Our priority is to align with your wishes and the liturgical setting.
What to Expect When You Choose Funeral Filming
1. Initial Consultation
We begin by talking through dates, location (church, cemetery), the structure of the Mass you prefer, and any special elements you wish us to capture or stream.
2. Technical Setup & Testing
On the day, we arrive early to position cameras discreetly, test audio and lighting (for hymns, choir, priest’s voice), and ensure your live stream link is working reliably.
3. Filming & Live Streaming the Mass
We record all significant parts of the ceremony: Entrance, Scripture readings, Communion, Final Commendation, and Procession. Remote guests can watch via the live stream.
4. Burial / Committal
After the Mass, if there is a processional to the cemetery or a committal service, we film this moment, including prayers, blessings, and the final farewell.
5. Video Delivery
Afterwards, we provide the full recorded video for you to keep. Highlight edits are available if you want just key parts shared with family and friends. All content is handled securely and with respect for your privacy.
