SAN FRANCISCO, California, March 24: Viewlogies, a market-leading video streaming company built for funeral homes and cemeteries, announced today a surge in use of its Private Broadcasting & Recording^TM services.

Viewlogies has been providing video streaming and recording to funeral homes and cemeteries in the Bay Area since 2016, but with the fast onset of global health events associated with the Coronavirus (COVID-19), video streaming has become a necessity for funeral homes and cemeteries, and an essential for grieving families.

In California, the shelter-in-place order has limited the ability for funeral homes and cemeteries to hold chapel services.

Rick Rampton, CEO of Viewlogies, shared that, “Families still deserve the option to properly mourn with an appropriate memorial service. By offering virtual memorial services to our communities here in the Bay Area and nationally, local funeral homes and cemeteries enable families to participate in this important part of the healing process.”

Viewlogies is seeing a 325% increase in video streaming installations by funeral homes and cemeteries over the last 2 weeks. Despite the surge in interest by funeral homes and cemeteries now, many of Viewlogies’ customers had already invested in video streaming and can offer families this important service today; such as Cypress Lawn in the North Bay, Darling & Fischer in the South Bay, and Higgins Chapel in the East Bay.

“Viewlogies is one of our core digital offerings,” said Nicholas Welzenbach, Managing Partner of Darling & Fischer. “We invested in Viewlogies in 2019 because it provides the families we serve with an amazing capability to video stream anywhere in the world and to have a lasting keepsake of the stories shared at the funeral.”

In addition to family and friends who will not be able to attend, the recorded version of the service provides an opportunity to re-watch the important memorial and to keep it as a part of family history.

Today in California, social distancing is expected and large gatherings are restricted, so Viewlogies is becoming one of the primary layers of connection for families who still want to hold a memorial service for their loved one.

“At Cypress Lawn, we prioritize the health and safety of our employees and communities,” shared Bob Gordon, CEO of Cypress Lawn. “We also prioritize our mission to celebrate life. We know how important the memorial services are for our families to remember those we love and heal from loss. Video streaming is one of our many offerings that helps us celebrate life, especially during this unprecedented time.”

Viewlogies Private Broadcasting & Recording^TM services allows families worldwide to connect virtually with family and friends in relation to the memorial service, and participate in this important part of the healing process.
