We did that with a couple of funerals during the COVID lockdown and it was a great way to be there without being there. Unfortunately it was a practice mostly discontinued after COVID. A bit of planning and preparation goes into a ZOOM funeral, unfortunately at a time when next-of-kin may be overwhelmed with a mix of grief and a long to-do list. So maybe a service provided by funeral homes/parlors that would take care of all the details? Like along with other options they could add zoom and podcast options?

@Heartlander This was the second one I've seen. The first was from a Catholic church and today's was from a funeral home/crematorium. It took some planning, wasn't quick but was worth it for the family members.
@ineedadrink I understand. There are different levels of podcasting. For one of the zoom funerals we attended we were basically observers and the funeral itself was a religious process, the religious last rite. For the other, it was both a funeral and a memorial with speakers who talked about Lee's achievements and the mark he left behind. I believe one of the speakers was himself remote.
