About
TribuCast is a specialized remote attendance platform designed thoughtfully for grieving families who need to include loved ones unable to attend a funeral or memorial service in person. Provided through partnering funeral homes, TribuCast enables real-time streaming of services directly to phones, tablets, and computers — making attendance accessible regardless of health, geography, military commitment, or other unavoidable circumstances. Beyond simple livestreaming, TribuCast builds a fully personalized memorial website for each service. The site can feature family photographs, the service program, eulogies, the deceased's history, military service, charitable causes, awards, and personal interests — creating a tribute as unique as the person being honored. Attendees can participate through an interactive Guest Book where they can leave condolences, share memories, and offer comfort to the family. Services can be experienced live or revisited at any later date, and recordings can be preserved on a personalized memory stick for future generations. TribuCast is ideal for funeral homes seeking to serve geographically dispersed families, and for families who want to ensure that every loved one — no matter where they are — can be present during one of life's most important moments. With 9 out of 10 services having at least one person who cannot attend in person, TribuCast fills a critical need for connection, closure, and community during times of grief.
