Live streaming for A. O'Hare Funeral Directors services
On Norton Street in Leichhardt, A. O'Hare Funeral Directors has its own chapel and handles many of the inner west's Catholic funerals. We film services with the O'Hare team at the Norton Street chapel and at parish churches around the area.
About A. O'Hare Funeral Directors
The O'Hare chapel is at 15 Norton Street, Leichhardt, with the mortuary on the same site. The business arranges Catholic funerals and services for other faiths, and handles local, interstate and international arrangements. Its main area is the inner west, including the Italian community that has long been part of Leichhardt.
Italian families in Leichhardt often have relatives in Italy who cannot get to Sydney for a funeral. A Requiem Mass at the parish church, or a service in the Norton Street chapel, can be watched live on a private link. The family also gets a full recording, which is easier for people in a different time zone.

Questions families ask
Can A. O'Hare Funeral Directors arrange a live stream?
Yes. Let your O'Hare funeral director know you want Stream Catcher, and they will pass on the details. For a service in the Norton Street chapel, we arrive early and set up before people come in. For a Mass in a parish church, O'Hare checks with the priest about filming first.
Can you stream a Requiem Mass for an O'Hare funeral?
Usually, yes. Each parish decides whether filming is allowed in the church, and your O'Hare funeral director will check with the priest. Once the parish agrees, we set up before Mass begins and keep our gear clear of the sanctuary and the aisle while we film.
Planning a service?
Tell us the date and the venue and we will take care of the rest with your funeral director.
