How To Host an Online Funeral Service at Home

A pandemic won't keep you from having the memorial service your family deserves. 


It's tempting to put off a funeral or life celebration until things with COVID-19 settle down, but acknowledging the death at the time it occurs and getting support from your family and friends are important steps in framing how you experience grief. Not coming together now can add to feelings of isolation and the nagging sense that things have been left undone.


Virtual Memorial Toolkit is a digital guide, created by experienced licensed funeral directors, that walks you through planning an online memorial service, beginning to end.


What you need and what we provide:


Service Plans

  • Borrow from over 74 years of funeral planning experience
  • Find the religious, spiritual, or non-religious service template that's perfect for you
  • Learn the keys to organizing an engaging and meaningful online memorial service

Resource Library

  • Gain access to our carefully curated list of the best poems, songs, and scriptures
  • You don't have to go searching for the content you need
  • Get leadership guidance and digital service program templates

Tech Walkthrough

  • Tutorials provide easy instruction on how to set up your online memorial through Zoom, Facebook, or YouTube
  • Learn how to look and sound your best
  • Discover equipment that can make your smart phone into a studio


We Know This Isn't Ideal

Mueller Memorial funeral home has provided thousands of services for our friends, family, and neighbors in the Midwest since 1946, and no one believes in the value of coming together at times of grief more than we do.


We're sharing that experience and knowledge so you can have the best service for your family at a time when we can't physically gather. Online services can't replace a reassuring hug, but honoring your loved-one's life at the time of loss can help you feel the love and community that we know are so vital to a healthy grief experience.
