Council decides to start charging for Funeral streaming

Douglas Council says it's going to start charging bereaved families for streaming funerals at the Crematorium online in future.

At its last meeting, the local authority's executive committee heard an upgrade to the media facilities at the site on Glencrutchery Road meant it wouldn't be viable to offer the webcasting service for free in future.

It says the service will cost £90 - and there'll also be a fee of between £20 and £28 for displaying visual tributes.

The council says it'll review the fees in future.
