Live streaming for John Wheatley Funeral Services services
Four generations on, John Wheatley Funeral Services is still a Wheatley family business, now working from Chester Hill and Panania. Most of the Wheatley services we film are in south-western Sydney.
About John Wheatley Funeral Services
The business was started in Darlinghurst in 1935 by John Edwin Wheatley, known as Ted, and has passed down through the family since. The fourth generation runs it today. The firm offers pre-paid funeral plans and handles repatriation, including the paperwork for overseas arrangements.
From Chester Hill and Panania, Wheatley looks after families across south-western and western Sydney. Because the firm handles overseas paperwork, some of those families have relatives abroad. We stream the service to them on a private link and give the family a recording to keep.

Questions families ask
Can John Wheatley Funeral Services arrange a live stream?
Yes. Ask your Wheatley arranger to book Stream Catcher. We handle the stream from set-up to pack-down, so the Wheatley staff can look after the family and the service. The private link goes out on the day, and the recording follows once the service is over.
Do you work with both Wheatley offices?
Yes. It makes no difference whether the funeral was arranged at Chester Hill or at Panania. We go to wherever the service is being held, whether that is a church, a chapel or a cemetery. The Wheatley team can send us the details once the venue is booked.
Planning a service?
Tell us the date and the venue and we will take care of the rest with your funeral director.
