Funeral directors we work with
Live streaming for Maurer Family Funerals services
Bruce Maurer opened Maurer Family Funerals at Crows Nest in 1941, and the fourth generation of the family runs it now. We film Maurer services on the North Shore and the Northern Beaches, indoors and out.
About Maurer Family Funerals
Maurer works from Chatswood and Balgowlah, and the family has been arranging funerals on the North Shore since 1941. Alongside chapel and church services, the team holds funerals at surf clubs, golf clubs and on the beach. The firm also handles overseas repatriation for families who need it.
Filming a service at a surf club or on the sand is a different job from filming in a chapel. There is often no internet, more wind, and people spread out. We bring our own mobile connections and at least three cameras, and we go over the spot with the Maurer team before the day.

Questions families ask
Can Maurer Family Funerals arrange a live stream?
Yes. Ask your Maurer funeral director to book Stream Catcher. We cover chapels, churches and outdoor venues on the North Shore and Northern Beaches. The family gets a private link to send out before the service, and a recording to keep once it is over.
Can you stream a Maurer service held at a surf club or beach?
Yes. Our own mobile internet means we do not rely on the club having wifi. On the beach, wind is the main problem for sound, so we ask whether there will be a microphone and where people will stand. Tell the Maurer team early so we can plan.
Planning a service?
Tell us the date and the venue and we will take care of the rest with your funeral director.
