It’s why we’re all in this business together. Moreover, the connections funeral directors like you forge is how your business is sustained—it’s why clients think of *you* in a time of need.  The most common reasons people choose a funeral home are location, word of mouth, and - most importantly - the personal experiences they have had organizing or attending a funeral with your funeral home. This could be attendance in person, or online through a live streamed service.    **Widen your chapel’s walls ** Live-streaming expands your offerings beyond the physical and into the virtual realm. In an industry where tasteful marketing can prove difficult, streaming is a budget-friendly way to increase your word-of-mouth referrals, by putting your services in front of more potential customers.  In fact, incorporating streaming into your roster of offerings can add more than 30% to the number of people you connect with each year. The highest attended of services streamed with OneRoom attract hundreds of online viewers.  The result? Wider chapel walls leading to more eyes, more connections, and more business, while improving your image and reputation as an innovative leader within the industry. > *"Since implementing OneRoom, Krause Funeral Homes has seen a 25 percent increase in call volume. “We promote the fact that we have live streaming capabilities. This may give people a reason to pick us over other funeral homes.” - Mark Krause, President and Funeral Director, Krause Funeral Homes*   **Leave a lasting virtual impression** We’re the first to admit: Nothing compares to in-person hospitality. But you can also offer a great experience for your guests online. The viewing experience will differ if you are using a purpose built platform, like OneRoom, or a free streaming service like Facebook. Purpose-built platforms are more reliable, offering support to help guests with any issues.  Guests are provided a comfortable online space to view the funeral, where they are not interrupted by inappropriate advertisements like on social platforms.  They’ll be virtually beside in-person guests, offering their loving presence during a pivotal moment in the grieving process. The funeral home is also presented in the best light, leaving a positive impression on the guest. > *“From a purely business point of view, OneRoom allows us to have far greater contact with a wider group than just the immediate family, and the fact that it’s a first class product is also beneficial to our professional image.” - Gary, Funeral Director*   **Make your presence known** As we continue to connect with one another in new and exciting ways—whether that be face-to-face or, one day, hologram-to-hologram—platforms like OneRoom will help you broaden your influence without moving or expanding your brick-and-mortar location. It is a short but impactful step toward better awareness of your business, layered trust across communities, and more connections with people in their greatest time of need.   [**Learn how OneRoom can help you.**](https://www.oneroomstreaming.com/funeral-live-streaming-home-owners)   ## Recent Posts - ### [![Watch: Brady Cox and Ryan Thogmartin on OneRoom Stories](https://blog.oneroomstreaming.com/hubfs/Tukios%20email%20header%20(19).png) Watch: Brady Cox and Ryan Thogmartin on OneRoom Stories](https://blog.oneroomstreaming.com/watch-brady-cox-and-ryan-thogmartin-on-oneroom-stories) - ### [![5 Benefits to Streaming Funeral Services That Families Should Know](https://blog.oneroomstreaming.com/hubfs/POV%20of%20a%20Death%20Doula%20article%20banner%20(1).png) 5 Benefits to Streaming Funeral Services That Families Should Know](https://blog.oneroomstreaming.com/5-benefits-to-streaming-funeral-services-that-families-should-know) - ### [![Music Copyright and Funeral Streaming: What Your Music and Webcasting License Covers, and What It Doesn’t](https://blog.oneroomstreaming.com/hubfs/Music%20copyright%20webinar%20email%20banner%20(8).png) Music Copyright and Funeral Streaming: What Your Music and Webcasting License Covers, and What It Doesn’t](https://blog.oneroomstreaming.com/music-copyright-and-funeral-streaming) - Family & Friends - [Support & Help](https://www.oneroomstreaming.com/en/family-and-friends) - [About Funeral Streaming](https://www.oneroomstreaming.com/en/family-and-friends) - Funeral Homes - [OneRoom Features](https://www.oneroomstreaming.com/features) - [Admin Login](https://admin.oneroomstreaming.com/login) - [Contact Sales](https://www.oneroomstreaming.com/en/contact-sales) - [About OneRoom](https://www.oneroomstreaming.com/story-funeral-webcasting) - [Blog](https://blog.oneroomstreaming.com) - [Case studies](https://www.oneroomstreaming.com/customers) - [Contact us](https://www.oneroomstreaming.com/en/contact-support) - - - © 2008-2026 OneRoom.
