    If you do not have an email invitation, or log in details, or cannot access the service please contact the Funeral Home that is arranging the service directly.

  4. Can I watch the service later, when the service has finished?

    Yes, you can access the archived recording once the service is over. This will be accessible up to 3 months following the service.

    If the service is no longer accessible, please contact the arranging funeral home to request further access, or contact us.

  5. Why can't I see the video?

  6. Why can't I hear the service?

    If you are not hearing anything please check that your device volume is not muted. Try viewing on another device if one is available.

    Hover mouse on screen and click the volume icon in the utility bar at the bottom of the screen to see if the volume is turned up.

  7. Will watching a service use data on my mobile device?

    Yes, streaming video will consume data allowance. You should confirm details of your plan. A typical service may consume 1GB of data.

    If you do not have sufficient data on your mobile plan you should consider viewing via wifi, a fixed wire device or contact your mobile provider about lifting your mobile data cap.

  8. What speed does my internet need to be?

    To view the service without disruption you will need a minimum of 512Kbps or 0.5Mbps. The system will automatically seek the highest speed available on your device to give the best viewing experience.

    If the speed seems too low, click the "Settings" cog wheel in the bottom utility bar of the viewing screen and select 720p if it is available. If 720p is not presented, the speed may be restricted at the funeral home side or on your viewing device.

This will be displayed in a separate tab on your browser and you can click back to the tab showing the video.

  13. Who can I speak to about quality issues?
