Memorial services in Sydney - honouring lives with compassion and care
Working with families throughout Marrickville, Inner West Sydney and Sydney
About our memorial services
Memorial services provide a meaningful way to celebrate and remember a loved one, allowing family and friends to gather, share stories, and reflect on a life well-lived. Unlike traditional funerals, memorials can be held days, weeks, or even months after a person’s passing, offering flexibility and the chance to create a service that truly reflects their personality and values.
At Idyllic Funerals, we guide you through every step of planning a memorial, helping you design a ceremony that feels personal and heartfelt. From choosing a venue and arranging flowers to incorporating music, readings, or special touches, our team works with trusted suppliers to bring your vision to life.
We respect all cultural and spiritual traditions and offer a wide range of venue options. Memorials can take place in chapels, places of worship, parks, beaches, surf clubs, golf clubs, or even in the comfort of your own home in Marrickville, or across Inner West Sydney and Sydney. Whatever you choose, our goal is to create a meaningful gathering that honours your loved one’s life and legacy.

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
