About
Virtual Memorial Gatherings offers a full suite of online memorial and funeral services designed to bring friends and family together regardless of location. The platform provides three core services: funeral and memorial live streaming, virtual memorial or celebration-of-life events, and custom memorial tribute videos. Their live streaming service broadcasts funeral or memorial services from a physical location—anywhere with adequate Internet or cellular broadband access—so remote guests can watch and listen from any internet-connected device. Virtual memorial services go a step further, enabling all attendees to participate from their own homes or offices, with the ability to select speakers or open the floor for shared memories. Memorial tribute videos combine still images, video clips, audio, and music into a polished keepsake that can be embedded into a live or virtual event, or shared as standalone media for family and friends to revisit at any time. Beyond technology, the team brings deep experience in funeral and event planning, offering a no-pressure consultation process, empathetic guidance, and professional production. They serve clients across the USA and Canada for live streaming, with virtual services available to families worldwide. Pricing is transparent and scheduling is available through their website or by phone.
