    Hi @davefromleeds - & welcome to the community. Thank you for joining, altho this must be an incredibly sad time for you. I wonder if the funeral directors can help? When our elderly tenant died last November, as her son lived in Australia, they videoed the entire service for him. Funeral directors must have realised that some people have been unable to attend funerals often during the pandemic, so may be able to help you too. Perhaps worth a try, if your family aren't forthcoming. I hope you get something sorted, & take care of yourself too at this difficult time.

    Thanks for the comments and my family have spoken to the funeral director about live streaming the service but it would cost £200 so my brother or sister will record it and I am just waiting to see who will put there phone on speaker phone so I can listen to the service live

    Sorry I was unhelpful. Hmmm, get your brother or sister to commit to putting their phone on speaker phone for you; sounds like one of them will do, but make sure, so you can listen to the service.
