Plan the farewell
We will arrange a service that reflects your loved one – a cremation, burial or memorial.
We believe families should have clarity around funeral costs. Below is a simple guide to our main service options.
Direct Cremation
A simple cremation without a ceremony
From $2,900
Includes transfer into care, all essential arrangements, and the return of your loved one’s ashes.
Simple Farewell
Bridging the gap between direct cremation and full service funeral
From $6,500
For families wanting something informal. A family-led gathering with your loved one present*
Full Service Funeral
A personalised service with a ceremony, followed by cremation or burial
From $8,800
Includes service coordination, venue, celebrant and all essential arrangements**
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.
