Creating heartfelt burial services in Sydney and beyond
Working with families throughout Marrickville, Inner West Sydney and Sydney
About our burial services
Choosing a burial is a deeply personal way to honour your loved one, offering a traditional and meaningful farewell. Many families appreciate the opportunity to create a ceremony that reflects the life, values, and wishes of the person they are remembering. At Idyllic Funerals, we approach every funeral with care and sensitivity, guiding you through each step of the process.
We offer two types of burial services to suit the needs of each family: a simple direct burial, and a burial with a service. Whichever option feels right for you, our funeral arrangers will help create a heartfelt farewell, taking care of every detail, from selecting the perfect coffin and flowers to arranging headstones if required.
We respect all cultural and spiritual traditions and provide flexibility in how and where a service can take place. Whether you choose a chapel, place of worship, surf club, golf club, park, beach, or even your own home, we’ll help create a meaningful setting that reflects your loved one’s life and wishes.
Direct Sydney Burial Services
Direct burials provide a simple, private farewell with no attendees, offering families a dignified and minimalistic way to honour their loved one. A memorial service may be arranged at a later date.
Prices start from $3,733 (inc GST)
Burial with Service
A burial with a service can take different forms. It may include a funeral service followed by the graveside service, or in some cases, the graveside service may take place first, with a memorial service held at a later date. Families choosing burial services in Sydney have the flexibility to create a farewell that best honours their loved one’s wishes and traditions.
Prices start from $7,417 (inc GST)

About Matt
Hi, I’m Matt. After 20 years in the finance industry, I experienced the heartbreaking loss of a dear friend, and everything shifted. I realised I wanted to do work that truly mattered. That helped people. That honoured lives.
So I left the corporate world behind and became funeral director and celebrant in Sydney. These days, as an independent funeral director in Marrickville, I help families say goodbye with grace, warmth, and yes, a touch of lightness. I believe funerals don’t have to be gloomy to be meaningful. They can be uplifting, personal, even beautiful.
At Idyllic Funerals, your trusted Sydney funeral director, I blend practical know-how with heartfelt care, taking the stress off your shoulders while creating a service that genuinely reflects your loved one. If that sounds like what you’re after, let’s talk. I offer a free 15-minute planning consultation to help you get started.
Testimonials
“Matt listened to our requests and also provided all the information we needed to ensure this was done with care and dignity.
If you’re looking for something more personalised than the traditional funeral, please consider giving Matt at Picaluna a call”
