Pay-as-you-go funeral
A British crematorium has launched a pay-per-view scheme to allow mourners to watch their loved one’s funeral online.
Southampton Crematorium are charging friends and family who can’t attend the funeral £75 to view the service live via a video camera placed discreetly in the chapel.
The company behind the scheme, Wesley Music, are also offering DVDs of funerals for £50 or audio recordings for £25.
Trevor Mathieson, manager of Southampton Crematorium, said: "The service is designed very much with the distant relative or ill friend in mind. Families are getting older and more dispersed and it is not always easy to get to a funeral these days. The webcast or DVD can let them be a part of the service."
