Our Ethos

At Idyllic Funerals, we create personal, meaningful funerals in Sydney that reflect the unique life, personality, and story of your loved one. We believe that every life is one-of-a-kind, and every funeral service should be too.

As experienced and compassionate Sydney funeral directors, we take the time to understand what truly mattered to your special person. From the choice of music and readings, to the style of the ceremony, location, flowers, and personal touches, every element is thoughtfully tailored to honour their memory in an authentic and heartfelt way.

Our role is to guide and support you through the funeral planning process with care, clarity, and respect. We aim to go beyond the idea of a funeral as purely solemn, offering services that provide comfort, inspiration, and a genuine celebration of life.

Whether you are arranging a traditional funeral, a modern memorial, a cremation service, or an intimate farewell, we ensure that family and friends can come together to share stories, express love, and leave with cherished memories.

By focusing on personalisation, compassion, and attention to detail, we redefine farewells in Sydney as heartfelt celebrations, occasions that honour the past, acknowledge the loss, and leave everyone with a lasting sense of connection and remembrance.

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, Sydney, 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.

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.
