Cannot make the funeral but do not worry I will watch it on the web.

Henry Samuel writing in the Telegraph has written an article about the new ideas students who are training to be undertakers are learning. One of the schemes is making funerals available on the web. Granny on "You tube" springs to mind.

Philippe Martineau, director general of the Choix funéraire network, told Le Parisien.
“The internet is becoming increasingly important in our business,” said Mr Martineau. As well as advances such as making funerals arrangements on the web, he said “now those who can’t get there in person can follow the ceremony via live web streaming from their home”.
The idea is that family and friends living abroad who are unable to travel to pay their respects can log in to a special private weblink and stream coverage of funeral services, even the burial.
