Live streaming for Acropolis Funeral Services services
Acropolis Funeral Services is a family-run business with offices at Earlwood, Kingsford and Kogarah. Most of the work there is Greek Orthodox funerals, and we stream a good number of them.
About Acropolis Funeral Services
Acropolis has Greek-speaking staff and arranges Greek Orthodox funerals right across Sydney. The business has since moved into multi-faith services, so families outside the Greek community use it as well. Pre-paid funerals are available. The three offices are in Earlwood, Kingsford and Kogarah, which puts them close to the inner west, the eastern suburbs and St George.
Plenty of Greek Australian families have relatives in Greece or Cyprus who cannot get on a plane at a few days' notice. With a stream, those relatives can follow the Orthodox service from the first prayer, in Greek, as it happens. If the family also wants the graveside filmed, we plan for both parts of the day.

- A private link for family and friends, sent before the day so everyone can check it works.
- At least three cameras, set up quietly before guests arrive.
- Our own mobile internet connections, so the stream does not depend on the venue wifi.

Questions families ask
Can Acropolis Funeral Services arrange a live stream?
Yes. Ask your Acropolis funeral director to add Stream Catcher while the funeral is being arranged, whether you are dealing with Earlwood, Kingsford or Kogarah. If the service is in a Greek Orthodox church, Acropolis will check with the parish about filming before we confirm the booking.
Can relatives in Greece watch the live stream?
Yes. The link opens in an ordinary web browser, so family in Athens or Nicosia can use a phone or laptop. Mind the time difference. A late morning service in Sydney falls in the small hours in Greece, which is why many families send the recording on as well.
Planning a service?
Tell us the date and the venue and we will take care of the rest with your funeral director.
