    Webcast at UK crematorium allows relatives to watch funeral online

    London, April 6 (ANI): Mourning relatives unable to attend their loved one's funeral will now be able to pay their last respects by watching the service from home - thanks to Internet.

    A state-of-the-art British crematorium has installed a webcasting facility, which will see the service broadcast via secure web link, reports the Daily Mail.

    And the new facility is all set to help elderly relatives or those living abroad.

    The new crematorium at Strete Ralegh, near Whimple in East Devon, has cost 4million pounds to build and is one of the first in the UK to be fitted with a webcast option.

    However, people using the secure link - which means access to the site is password protected - will have to pay a charge.

    The new facility, due to open on April 13, is privately owned and operated by East Devon Crematorium Ltd, which was formed by Cornwall-based Chris Johns.

    "We have worked closely with local funeral directors to ensure that the facility is exactly what is needed in this area. We hope that East Devon Crematorium will offer an attractive and peaceful setting," said Johns. (ANI)
