An Irish company is offering to stream funerals live over the internet for mourners who are unable to attend the ceremony in person.

The man behind the venture, businessman Alan Foudy, claimed it was the "only service of its kind being offered anywhere in Ireland or the UK".

The company offers to film memorial church services and burials, with target clients being Irish emigrants who are unable to travel home for family funerals and elderly people confined to hospitals or homes.

The clients will be charged a fee to view the funeral online, BBC News reported.
