Not exactly, but a mortuary director in Northern Ireland has launched a service to broadcast funerals on its Web site for mourners too distant, ill or busy to make it in person. The family-owned firm, founded in 1918 by Clarke’s grandfather, began experimenting with streaming audio and video of funeral services two years ago at its other mortuary and chapel in another nearby suburb, Bangor. About 20 percent of the company’s clients use the Web broadcast, or about 50 funerals so far at the two chapels beside the mortuaries. It carries no additional charge.
