Broadcasting Funerals Over the Internet

from the making-bereavement-efficient dept

It sounds a little odd, but a funeral home is experimenting with broadcasting funerals over the internet for people who are far away and can't make the trip for a funeral. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Obviously, there are some good things about it, but it still feels like it would be wrong to watch a funeral via the internet.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    You could have banners selling flowers and cards on the site:

    "This box pops up, but your loved one won't. Click here to send flowers."
