⚠️ URGENT: Facebook Deleting All Livestreams After 30 Days

They're also coming for your library of past streams– "any live videos published more than 30 days before February 19th" - which is when this notification was issued.

For funeral homes, this is devastating. Every funeral service streamed on Facebook will vanish unless action is taken. Users have 90 days to download past streams, but the reality is brutal: hundreds of videos to archive - an overwhelming task for anyone, let alone busy funeral directors.

This will hurt families too. Our data shows the average funeral home sees over 2,500 families rewatch streams after 30 days. These aren't just videos - they're irreplaceable memories families rely on for healing.

This highlights the vulnerability of trusting free platforms with precious content. Facebook never prioritized funeral homes' unique needs– and as data costs grow they're cutting corners.

MemoryShare is offering a solution:

• Free migration of all your videos from Facebook

• 3 months of unlimited streaming

• Complimentary 20-minute consulting call

Unlike Facebook, we don't delete memories. People return to watch for years, and we believe everyone deserves access to these healing moments whenever they need to.

🔍 Streaming Impact: Numbers That Matter

Did you know an online obituary with a funeral stream receives 9x more time spent on page compared to an obituary without a video?

Here's why it matters for your funeral home:

In Google's eyes, “time on page” is gold. When visitors spend more time on your website, search engines view you as a more credible resource. Data shows if all things are equal, 39% of business goes to the first search result.

What does this mean for you?

• Families find you first

• Higher conversion rates when families call you first

• A lasting digital presence families return to for closure

Every time you stream, you're not only capturing a service - you're building your digital presence and outranking the funeral home down the street.

The bottom line? Streaming with MemoryShare not only helps your at-need families - it helps connect you with the families you'll serve tomorrow.
