Australian burial society live-streams funerals

SYDNEY, Australia - A Jewish burial society in Melbourne is believed to be the first in Australia to offer live web streaming of funerals over the Internet.
The Melbourne Chevra Kadisha has installed a camera at the prayer houses of the two main cemeteries in Melbourne, according to a report in the Australian Jewish News.
The web streaming, which is in its trial phase, costs about $250, according to Chevra Kadisha director Fred Grossman. DVD copies of the funeral service also are available.
