AV stands for audio visual, and it refers to media or equipment that utilises vision and hearing.

In the context of a funeral service, our Celebrated Moments Audio Visual is an audiovisual presentation that allows you to present a series of images alongside your chosen music to create a special tribute in honour of your loved one.

Webcasting involves the use of audiovisual equipment in order to stream and record a funeral to be watched by those who cannot attend.

A Celebrated Moments Audio Visual presentation, is an audiovisual presentation that features a selection of images of your loved one, shown with your chosen music.

This style of presentation is commonly shown at funerals to express the life and legacy of your loved one, in a way that words often can’t.

It also allows some time for quiet reflection during the ceremony, and allows those attending some time to remember their loved one in their own way, with imagery and music helping to set the tone and capture their emotion.

At Tobin Brothers, our Celebrated Moments Audio Visual includes 1 song between 3 - 5 minutes long, and 40 images.

If you don’t require any particular order, you can name the files whatever you like. However, if you wish for them to be shown in a particular order, please name them in the order you would like them shown. For example: Photo1.jpeg, Photo2.jpeg, Photo3.jpeg and so on.

A funeral webcast is the ability to stream a funeral or memorial service live over the internet.

It is a cost effective solution which enables friends or relatives interstate or overseas to participate in the service.

In the past, if you were too unwell to attend a funeral, were restricted by work or mobility, or lived too far away, you simply missed out on being able to attend.

Thanks to modern technology, and shifts in attitude towards video streaming and online participation, we are now able to provide a webcasting service that allows friends and family to be a part of the funeral, no matter where they are in the world.

Prior to COVID19, funerals were much less likely to be webcast but in recent years, the vast majority of services include some form of streaming.

The funeral webcast is accessed via the Tobin Brothers Tribute page dedicated to your loved one.

On that page, you will see information about your loved one, their service, and the link to the Live Stream.

The link to the Tributes page can be shared with family members via email or social media by selecting the ‘Share Tribute’ button or by simply copy and pasting the url of the Tribute Page.

Webcast information can also be added to newspaper Death and/or Funeral Notices.

We can webcast from any of our Tobin Brothers Chapels as well as any other location, for example a Church or Cemetery, provided it is within range of wireless internet access.

Tobin Brothers record and archive the service which is then available for viewing for a period of 12 months from the date of the funeral.

Webcasting is available at no extra cost from all Tobin Brothers Chapels.

Funerals at all other venues can be webcast for a fee, provided there is wireless internet access.

The fees for webcasting do vary depending on your location, and the required setup and management. Your Funeral Planner should be able to provide you with an estimate of fees for this service.
