The Schoedinger Funeral Home now offers streaming webcasts of funerals. It's not open to Harold and Maude types, the family decides who can watch. It is intended for far flung families who can't make it to funerals and, especially, for service people who can't just get up and go to a funeral.
While it may smack of one of Rev Glenworthy's schemes and one might expect Jonathan Winters to walk out on screen and narrate the funeral, it actually makes sense. The technology is cheaper and simpler and the individual's access to high bandwidth internet is pretty commonplace these days. The little slideshows funeral directors have offered for years are pretty much drag and drop operations these days. Figure in people's increased mobility and international businesses and it makes perfect sense. Unlike weddings, you usually have less than a week to put a funeral together and even when you are expecting a death, it usually doesn't give much of a crap about YOUR schedule.
The Columbus Dispatch has a series about death and interviews Schoedinger. As I watched I wondered if his videos were as overproduced as the Dispatch's.
