Burial

A burial with a funeral service starts from $7,417.90 (incl GST). These prices don’t include the cost of the plot itself or the opening and closing fees. Costs of burial plots in Sydney range from $5,500 to $35,000.

Burial plots are often pre-purchased as part of end-of-life planning. If needed, we can handle the process for you, including arranging a headstone through a local stonemason, with pricing based on material and size.

Our funeral arranger will guide you through every step, ensuring a heartfelt farewell within your budget. We work with trusted suppliers to bring your vision to life, whether it's sourcing flowers, finding a unique coffin, or honouring family traditions. Offering choice is central to Idyllic Funeral’s philosophy.

We respect all cultural and spiritual beliefs and offer a variety of venues for the ceremony and wake. In addition to traditional spaces like places of worship and crematorium chapels, we also support alternative venues such as surf clubs, golf clubs, parks, beaches, or even home funerals.
