Jeepers, I was at a funeral recently where the death notice said you could tune into the church webcam for the funeral mass, thought that was bad enough :eek:

Attention seeking dickbaggery of the highest order.

Maybe it is for family member/members abroad who couldn't get home.

yesterday i was browsing and I noticed these people throwing shapes to african music. i thought ah sure theyre having a good time. im thinking now was this some form of mass thingy...

She'll be one of those who talks directly to dead relatives, ie, happy Christmas mam, miss you loads xoxo

Gotta get those likes!

Guys,

Ease up. You don't know the circumstances, this is probably being streamed to friends and family that can't make (for one reason or another) it to the funeral.


Give her the benefit of the doubt.

RIP, sorry for your loss.

Maybe it's narcissism of the lowest order.

If it was just for family members / those abroad, surely OP shouldn't be able to see it?

Ergo... attention seeking.

As I tell the mother in law when she shushes the whole kitchen for the death notices, if you were that close, you'd be at the funeral, not hearing about it on the radio (or Facebook)

I know churches where they have webcam and you can watch weddings, funerals and daily mass.
I think a big deal is being made out of nothing.

to be honest im more of what the fcuk am i watching and why the fcuk am i watching this over anything...

I think a person coming on to a forum to ask questions and mock a situation you haven't even tried to understand to be extremely weird. Not to mention watching it.

My brother lives in Australia and was able to listen to a live feed of our dads funeral.

FFS you don't even know the woman or the circumstances. You don't have to watch.

Personally I steer clear of Facebook.

Happy Christmas

Good question!

You don't really understand how the Facebook thing works.

If I want to put something out there for a subset of my family and friends, I put it out there, Unless there's some reason for it to be private (eg reading my mother's will*), then I'm not going to bother my a** figuring out the settings to stop other people seeing it too. Especially if my mother died a couple of days ago and I'm, like, grief-stricken.

If that offends your sensibilities, then maybe you need to step away from the computer and stick to IRL friends.





* It's a made up example: my mother was dead before Facebook was even a thing.

Or starting a thread about for the boards equivalent of “likes

Just unfollow her posts and stop watching!
You’re not being forced to watch the feed.

Whatever it takes to get through such a difficult experience. So long as no close family are upset by it who cares! I would assume it's for the benefit of family abroad though.

She and her family are likely to read this. They would find it upsetting. Nobody's business to comment.

Posting this here is worse than you assume she is being. I just unfriend people I dislike personally.

When you're dead, you could live stream from the coffin with a bit of gentle lighting until the fone battery dies.

Need a good data plan tho.

My mother in laws funeral was streamed, her daughter in America was unable to get home for it, so while I thought it a bit odd, it helped my wife's sister grieve and feel part of the family whilst hundreds of miles away.

Nah. Not buying it.

Takes five minutes to group friends / family.

It OP is a friend, and can see the funeral then it's fúcking stupid.

But make sure to get all those likes, hearts and other Pavlovian feedback methods no matter how crass!

I was at a funeral a year ago that was streamed on FB for friends of the deceased unable to travel. I think it's great technology allows it to be possible. Slagging the girl off without knowing the reason is uncool. Even if she's doing it just for likes, shes grieving and probably not in a good place. Times and a place for judging someone.

It was my dad's funeral yesterday. It was live streamed on the internet via the parish. My dad's two sisters couldn't get flights back and were devastated to miss it.

Not everyone has a horrible agenda or is a horrible person.

Perhaps those sorts of reactions show more about your issues than anything else. Unable to see the good side to anything.

The live stream yesterday brought so much comfort to our stranded relatives abroad. Christmas meant so many couldn't make it home but they felt a part of the funeral nonetheless. What a gift.

Dude. This is Ireland.

The whole village and half the next village, attends most local funerals.

Why on earth sould anyone make one "family only".

It would make sense if you are a brit and have five weeks to plan the thing. But not if you're irish.

Maybe it’s because they have relatives or friends who can’t attend the funeral in person

The priest at my mates mother's funeral said it was being streamed for those abroad.thats fine. It's not really the same as some girl ( who by the sound software it is immediate family so probably should have better things to be doing) holding her phone up and streaming it from the front row.

I just wasn't able to watch that.

Funeral directors offer this service and it's quite common. Some friends and family might not be able to return home for the funeral. Streaming the funeral allows them to be there in a way.

In the 80s an elderly couple were in a car accident. The Mr died and she was in a coma. The family recorded the funeral for his wife for when she came out of the coma. It seemed morbid to me at the time but it helped the wife griev

just to note

i wasnt slagging the girl off. i never knew streaming of funerals was even a thing.
