New Features & Extras

Starlink Mini

While I will always be reaching for perfection with the funerals I livestream, there are elements that are outside of my control - where I am at the mercy of cellular coverage and/or network congestion.

The Starlink Mini has produced beautiful results when coupled with 4k cameras and a dedicated video mixer. This new feature proves necessary where there is absolutley minimal cellular coverage such as maraes, and military bases (particularly camps Ohakea and Linton). It is also excellent for country churches and halls where 4g networks are unavailable (or are sparse, at best).

For tangis, memorials, graveside and funeral services (especially if they’re expected to exceed 2.5hrs), this is going to be the best and most secured option I could recommend.

$150

Laptop for Playing Photo/Visual Tribute …. $125

50’’ Overflow Television with 50m HDMI Cable …. $150

Portable Sound System …. $75

Pre-Recording of Virtual Eulogy …. $65

Engraved Pen Drive …. $35

(this is always at cost - often, the engraver will lower the price if there are a few ordered)

Mileage …. $1.05 per km

Multi Stream to More than One Site …. $150 per extra site

32’’ Cry Room Television …. $65

Ideal for services that may have small children attending. What is seen and heard on the livestream will be what’s on this monitor. Can also be used as a Confidence Monitor for speakers

6-Digit Secure Site ….. $200

While most funerals are open to the public, there are instances and reasons for having a complete shut-down of a service from the public and the media. This option will require anyone wanting to tune in to the livestream or view the recording at another time to enter a 6-digit numerical code. However, this funtion isn’t unlimited. It will allow for 1TB of viewership which can be estimated at approximatley 200 viewers of a 2 1/2hr service. Price includes livestream costs and 1TB of livestream viewership.

Filming of Burial Service …. $100

Filming and Livestreaming at Burial …. $150
