A different kind of
Funeral Director

Warm, personal support to help families honour every
life with compassion.

Our ethos

At Idyllic Funerals, we believe every life deserves a personal and meaningful farewell. As compassionate funeral directors in Sydney, we take the time to truly understand the person being honoured,  their stories, values, and the moments that made them unique.

Every service we create is thoughtfully designed to reflect that individuality. From music and readings to ceremony style, location, flowers, and personal touches, each detail comes together to celebrate life with warmth and authenticity.

The Idyllic difference

What makes Idyllic Funerals different is our gentle, human approach. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all ceremonies,  instead, we listen deeply and collaborate with families to craft a service that feels right for them.

We see funerals not only as moments of goodbye, but as meaningful opportunities to reconnect with love, gratitude, and shared memories. Whether traditional or modern, intimate or elaborate, every farewell is handled with care, creativity, and respect.

Our approach

Our role is to guide and support you through each step of the planning process with clarity and calm. We take care of the practicalities while helping you shape a ceremony that brings comfort and peace.

We approach every service with empathy and attention to detail, ensuring family and friends can come together to reflect, share stories, and leave with lasting memories.

At Idyllic Funerals, we’re here to help you honour your loved one’s life in a way that feels gentle, genuine, and true.

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. In that moment, I knew I wanted to do work that truly mattered, work that supported people when they needed it most and honoured lives in a personal, authentic way.

I left the corporate world and retrained as a funeral director and celebrant in Sydney. Today, I help families create meaningful farewells filled with warmth, dignity, and respect. While grief is real, I believe a funeral can also be a space for comfort, connection, and even moments of lightness that reflect the person being remembered.

At Idyllic Funerals, I bring together practical expertise and genuine care. My role is to guide you through decisions with clarity, take the weight off your shoulders, and help shape a ceremony that feels right for you and your family. Whether it’s incorporating favourite music, telling cherished stories, or weaving in small but significant details, I make sure each service reflects the life it celebrates.

If this sounds like the support you need, I offer a free 15-minute planning consultation to answer your questions and help you take the first step toward creating a heartfelt and memorable goodbye.

funeral directors and planners

We work in partnership with Picaluna Beautiful Funerals. Picaluna is a community of like-minded people, helping families to create more authentic, compassionate and affordable cremations, burials and memorials.

Picaluna felt that there was a much better way to conduct funerals, and are changing the way funerals are done for the better. This change is underpinned by their core purpose to help communities to honour, mourn, celebrate, heal and rejuvenate. Picaluna also chooses to donate 5% of our profit to your choice from one of our Picaluna Charity partners.

The Picaluna partnership supports us in the logistics required to arrange and conduct a funeral; including transfers, registering the death with Births, Deaths & Marriages, access to a vast range of suppliers, mortuary care, and invoicing. This allows us to spend more time with you, crafting and delivering a personalised ceremony, authentic to the one you loved.
