Funeral live streaming at St Stephen's Uniting Church
St Stephen's Uniting Church stands at 197 Macquarie Street, near Parliament House and the Botanic Garden. We film and stream funerals there for families across Sydney and for relatives who cannot make it into the city.
About St Stephen's Uniting Church
The congregation formed in 1842. The current church at 197 Macquarie Street was built between 1935 and 1937 and has been heritage-listed since 2004. St Stephen's was Presbyterian until 1977, when it joined the Uniting Church with the Congregational and Methodist churches.
Macquarie Street is a busy part of the city, and parking close to St Stephen's is scarce. For older relatives, or anyone interstate, the private stream is often the practical choice. We set up before the service with at least three cameras and our own mobile internet, and the family keeps the recording.

Questions families ask
Can a funeral at St Stephen's Uniting Church be live streamed?
Yes. The minister at St Stephen's decides on filming, and your funeral director asks before the day. We then set up on Macquarie Street well before the service. The family shares the private link, and we send them the recording once the funeral is over.
How do mourners get to St Stephen's on Macquarie Street?
St Stephen's is at 197 Macquarie Street, in the north-east corner of the city. Street parking nearby is hard to find, so public transport is easier for most people. Anyone who cannot make the trip can watch on the private link.
