FAQ

Compassionate Reprieve is a 501(c)(3) public charity corporation that provides streaming funerals services to inmates who are unable to attend in person. We partner with funeral homes and correctional facilities to offer a secure and dignified way for inmates to participate in the grieving process and say goodbye to their loved ones.

Inmates often face significant barriers to attending funerals in person, including security concerns, transportation costs, and restrictions imposed by correctional facilities. This can lead to feelings of isolation, guilt, and unresolved grief. Compassionate Reprieve offers a solution by bringing the funeral to the inmate, allowing them to be present virtually and find closure.

  • Contact: Families or funeral homes reach out to Compassionate Reprieve to inquire about services and schedule a streaming session.

  • Coordination: We work closely with the funeral home and the correctional facility to meet all logistical and technical requirements.

  • Secure Streaming: On the day of the funeral, we provide a secure, private stream of the service for the inmate within the correctional facility.

  • Support: We offer ongoing emotional and logistical support to both the inmate and their family throughout the entire process.

  • Emotional Healing: Allows inmates to participate in the grieving process, find closure, and maintain family bonds.
  • Reduced Recidivism: Studies show that maintaining family connections can reduce the likelihood of re-offending after release.
  • Improved Mental Health: Helps inmates cope with grief and reduce feelings of isolation and depression.
  • Accessible and Convenient: Removes the logistical and financial barriers associated with in-person attendance.
