We would like to offer our sincere apologies to Mathew and Cameron Chilly’s family and friends for the audio issues experienced during the livestream of their funeral service. This was unfortunately out of our control.

We understand how important it was for those watching online to feel present and connected, especially for people who could not be there in person. We are truly sorry for any added distress or disappointment this may have caused on such a significant and emotional day.

Our tech team has now resolved the issue, and a full recording of the service is available to view.

We hope this allows everyone who loved Mathew and Cameron to revisit the service and share in the memories and tributes in their own time.

Please find the updated recording here: https://tributes.fitzroyfuneralsqld.com.au/mathew--cameron-chilly-9471bd57-72c6-f011-bbd3-00224892c4df
