Live streaming for Joseph Medcalf Funerals services
Joseph Medcalf set up as an undertaker on Redfern Street in 1880, and the business still runs from Redfern. We film services with the Medcalf team at its chapels and at venues around the inner city and eastern suburbs.
About Joseph Medcalf Funerals
Joseph Medcalf Funerals is part of Walker Funeral Group. It has three refurbished chapels, at Redfern, Belmore and Matraville, plus an office at Woollahra. Most of its families live in inner and eastern Sydney, in the older suburbs around the city where the business began.
Families using the Medcalf chapels come from Redfern, Matraville, Belmore and the streets around them, and some have relatives interstate or overseas. For those services we work alongside the Medcalf staff in whichever chapel is booked. People who cannot get there watch on a private link, and the family keeps the recording.
- Locations: Redfern, Belmore, Matraville, Woollahra
- Areas: Sydney CBD, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs
- Established 1880

- 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 Joseph Medcalf Funerals arrange a live stream?
Yes. Ask your Medcalf arranger to book Stream Catcher for the service. The Medcalf team can give us the chapel, the start time and the order of service, and we plan around those. People who cannot come to Redfern, Belmore or Matraville then watch on a private link.
Can you film in the Medcalf chapels at Redfern, Belmore and Matraville?
Yes. We have filmed in the Medcalf chapels and set up before the family arrives. The three chapels are different sizes, so we check which one is booked and plan our cameras to suit. The family gets the private link ahead of time to send around.
Planning a service?
Tell us the date and the venue and we will take care of the rest with your funeral director.
