Internet Funeral Broadcast Trials Stall Before Services
North Syracuse funeral director Fred Fergerson of Fergerson Funeral Home attempted a live Internet broadcast from Community Church of the Nazarene in North Syracuse. After three hours of gear troubles, the family filmed the service for absent relatives. Industry experts see Internet funerals as a new idea with limited current demand and caution that human contact remains essential to healing. The NFDA notes the computer generation may expand future interest, but consensus suggests broadcasts will not replace traditional funerals.
