Includes transfer into care, all essential arrangements, and the return of your loved one’s ashes.

For families wanting something informal. A family-led gathering with your loved one present*

Every service is personalised, so final costs may vary depending on venue and individual choices. We are always happy to provide a no obligation quote.
*If you’re considering a Simple Farewell, it’s worth checking with your chosen venue that they’re comfortable having a coffin present. Most are happy to accommodate this, and we can help guide you through the conversation.
**Burial plot and interment fees are not included and paid directly to the cemetery.
Hi, I’m Matt.
After 20 years working in finance, the loss of a dear friend changed the direction of my life. In that moment, I realised I wanted to do work that truly mattered, work that supported people through one of life’s most difficult times and honoured each life in a meaningful, personal way.
I left the corporate world and retrained as a funeral director and celebrant here in Sydney. Today, I work closely with families to create thoughtful and heartfelt farewells that reflect the person being remembered.
While grief is very real, I believe a funeral can also be a space for comfort, connection and even moments of gentle lightness; the stories, music and memories that remind us of who someone truly was.
At Idyllic Funerals, my role is to guide you through the process with care and clarity. I take care of the practical details, help you navigate decisions, and work with you to shape a service that feels right for your family. Often it’s the small things; a favourite song, a personal story, or a meaningful detail, that make a farewell truly special.
If you need guidance or would simply like to talk things through, you’re always welcome to call me.
Every family and every farewell is different. We support families across the Inner West to create services that feel personal, meaningful and true to the life being remembered.

My family & I are so grateful to Matt, Leela & the wonderful team at Idyllic Funerals following my beloved aunt's recent passing. Matt, Leela & I have been friends for many years, so when my cousin's were finding it difficult & confusing to navigate the process, especially at a time when everything felt so heavy, I knew Matt would take good care of them & guide them through the process gently. The help & support he provided them & the family as a whole was incredible. It was literally a weight lifted off all our shoulders. The organisation was flawless & the day of the memorial service was absolutely beautiful. Could not recommend Idyllic Funerals more highly. We are so thankful to have had not only such a warm & caring professional on our side, but a truly great friend also. Thank you so much for everything you've done for our family. 🙏Posted on Google![]()

No words can really explain how grateful we are for Matt. His service was the most perfect goodbye for our beloved boy. He was so gentle, kind and supportive of the family. We are so lucky to have had him there for the hardest day of our entire lives. Matt, you were truly born to do this.Posted on Google![]()

Matt was compassionate, genuine, and caring throughout the whole process. He listened to what mattered to us most and created a service that truly reflected who my dad was and honoured his memory. Every detail was handled with warmth and professionalism, and his kindness made an unbearably hard day feel manageable. I highly recommend Matt to any family needing a funeral director who truly cares and is filled with compassion. Thank you again Matt and Leela 💜Posted on Google![]()

Matt and Leela organised a wonderful send off for my father. It was organised so well. The programs in cardboard were a great detail. What made it wonderful was they were invested in honouring my father. They listened intently as we spoke of his life and the Eulogy’s. The day were supported by themes they had been able to draw out from their research and their reflection as people spoke. It showed they cared and not just doing a job. I would highly recommend their services.Posted on Google![]()

Thank you so much to Matt & Leela at Idyllic Funerals. From the moment we first spoke, to the final farewells, everything was handled with detail & care. Nothing was a problem. Everything was smoothly & respectfully managed. During a time of grief, Matt handled everything. It just happened. Leela created the most beautiful notices, photo tributes and order of service. Thank you again.Posted on Google![]()

When my father passed we wanted to find an independent, family run operation. We could not have found better than Matt at Idyllic. From the very first contact Matt was caring, calming and kind. He guided us through the process from start to finish, performed a magnificent job on the day, and was available for whatever we needed throughout the process. I could not recommend him more highly for those looking for someone who cares deeply about the families he helps navigate this difficult time.Posted on Google![]()

From the moment we engaged with Matt he was calm, comforting and considerate, at such a horrific and confusing time. He supported me and my family after the passing of my husband and made the whole process smooth, manageable and quite beautiful. He was thoughtful throughout and always engaged. After such a tragic loss I was stressed and foggy - he came and sat with us, he listened to our story our situation and met me where I was at. The whole process felt professional yet extremely personal. I will be forever grateful to him and the team for making Mikes send off so beautiful and exactly as he would have liked it. He offered guidance and support throughout the whole process and was always available for questions, updates, or a few words of advice. Deciding on who will help you make those final goodbyes to a loved one is an impossible decision, especially when you're feeling at your worst. Those people stick with you. So thank you Matt, more than I can properly put into words, the impact you make during these moments is immeasurable and won't ever be forgotten.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
