After losing my grandmother on 15th February this yaar,we did a few ring around in pricing and I could not believe the difference in prices. Bare was at least $1,000,$2,000 cheaper. When I had organised with bare to do my grandmother cremation,they were so kind and considerate. Helping with every step along the way,Receiving phone calls to see how I was coping,and explained each step they were doing. Even to this day which he nearly 2 months I still get phone calls to see how I am going. I’m so greatly appreciated of their time and effort they put in to help love ones in such a Difficult time.

Bare was just what we needed in a time of need. It can be difficult when you are reeling with grief and emotion and not quite knowing how to go about things for a loved one. Bare offered exactly what my Dad would have wanted. No more, no less. And for me, as the arranger absolutely the same. No pesky sales in suits grasping at your grief to lure you to waste on what you dont need or really want. The online platform, the before, during and after service, tips and checklists, along realistic pricing, was spot on. GO Bare Team, thank you!
Nicola
I have nothing but praise for Bare. Not only were they respectful sympathetic and showed empathy they made the process so painless. They with me the whole journey respecting my requests and nothing was too much. I never felt pressured and could take as long as I like to make decsions and were always there if I had a question and they didn't worry if I changed my mind. I just felt so supported not only with the arrangements but with other issues such as Centrelink which they took care of which was a load off my mind at that stage. And a big thank you to Tim who was wonderful

My mum died recently in Taree NSW after a late diagnosis of terminal brain cancer. Brodey and his team stepped in and took great care in stepping me through the process and keeping me in the loop at all times. Kelley, the funeral director, was outstanding - her kindness and skill made a very difficult time for me much easier. Thanks Brodey, Kelly and the Bare team.

Bare Funerals & Cremations were so comforting & helpful from my first point of contact when my brother passed 😢 They respectfully took the reins & guided me ever so compassionately & were always available by phone & email. They stayed in constant contact reaching out with every step along the way informing me of everything that was going to happen before it happened & ensuring I was ok & if I had any questions/concerns. I cannot recommend Bare highly enough...thankyou Bare for your care during a devastating time 🙏

I would like to sincerely acknowledge and express my deep gratitude for the exceptional care and support provided by Elle during one of the most difficult times in my life. From the very beginning, Elle demonstrated remarkable compassion, empathy, and professionalism while assisting with the care of my mum and supporting me through my grief. Throughout the entire process, Elle made what could have been an overwhelming and distressing experience feel seamless and manageable. Her calm and reassuring approach removed much of the stress and uncertainty, which was invaluable while I was in such a vulnerable emotional state. Elle was consistently kind, patient, and understanding, particularly during our conversations when I found it difficult to hold myself together. She allowed me the space to process my emotions while gently guiding me through the necessary steps. Her thoughtful follow-up emails and genuine check-ins meant more than I can adequately express, they restored a sense of faith in humanity and showed how much of a positive impact a caring individual can have, even as a stranger. I would also like to recognise the wider team, all of whom I found to be equally supportive, respectful, and compassionate in every interaction. The dignity and care shown in returning my mum into my care will never be forgotten. This organisation has demonstrated an exceptional standard of service, allowing me to focus on grieving and honouring my mum without the added burden of navigating complex formalities. I am truly grateful for the kindness and professionalism shown throughout. Thankyou Elle & Bare

When my husband passed they were so great with it all and when his 12 months was up they sent a lovely card I have told a few people about them well done

Bare are very supportive and really help you. I have been involved with organising catholic funerals, but my mother-in-law wanted a very simple cremation. The quote I received from Bare was detailed with a definite price, whereas a Funeral Director gave me an over the phone quote saying "it could cost x but also could go up". As a daughter-in-law trying to help the family, the Bare quote was straight forward. The process after the passing of my mother-in-law was amazing. Bare contacted me via phone and email. I was given a check list of things that needed to be done, including contacting Centrelink. The staff are wonderful and are great listeners and organisers. Everything I raised with them, they were able to address. They also had genuine concern for my welfare (which was amazing). Another great thing was being able to complete a tribute then upload it to Facebook- wow! At the end of the process I have reflected that the family and I were NEVER overwhelmed with any aspect of my mother-in-law's cremation. I recommend Bare to any person - family member, in-law - the whole process was easy, comfortable AND comforting. Thankyou to all the staff.
Glenn Harbeck
I wish to thank you all for your help and compassion when my mum passed recently. You took care of everything for us at that difficult time. Today I have taken a prepaid funeral with you so my family will be in good hands in the future. I totally recommend Bare Funerals to anyone in there time of need.
shazznelmes
I used Bare for my husband recently. They were absolutely amazing, respectful and supportive. I gave my husband's details to Bare about six weeks before he passed and i received several emails,checking on my husband's health, and my own well-being. The communication regarding all aspects of the retrieval of my Darling's body, to cremation details and delivery of ashes was amazing, and so respectful. In fact, nearly four months later I have been reminded by email that I can still access free counselling and simply need to reach out if I want to talk to someone. I would highly recommend the Bare team. Thank you for your respect, sensitivity and efficiency.
Ronald
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the team at Bare Funerals for the care and compassion they showed during the cremation of my father. From the very beginning, everything was handled with such professionalism, respect, and kindness. During such a difficult and emotional time, they made the entire process feel simple, dignified, and stress-free. Their communication was clear, thoughtful, and always delivered with genuine empathy. Knowing that my father was treated with such respect gave our family great comfort and peace of mind. The service provided was beautiful in its simplicity and exactly what we needed. I truly appreciate everything the team has done for us and would highly recommend Bare Funerals to anyone looking for a caring, respectful, and seamless experience during a challenging time. Thank you again for your support and kindness. ❤️
Pauline Grace
Bare was absolutely exceptional when my dear mum passed away recently. I would highly recommend there brilliant caring staff made a sad time easy. Thank you so much Bare. Emily was amazing.! ❤️
Karen Hickey
I used you 5 years ago for my husband, couldn't fault the service at all. Will use you for mine. Highly recommend.
Francis Montalto
I’ve recently had to make use of Bare service twice in the recent past. Incredibly easy to engage with and so professional. Made an extremely challenging time much easier and affordable to remove the additional stress of overcoats. Recommend highly if you need a funeral managed
Liz
The experience I had with BARE on the passing of my wonderful Mum was exceptional. BARE handled each step of the process from initial phone call to delivering my Mum's ashes in a professional and compassionate way. Being able to complete paperwork online at home when it suited me was excellent. Everyone I dealt with at BARE from Elle who was my dedicated arranger to the person that picked my Mum up when she passed to the person that delivered the ashes was professional and compassionate. There were no hidden costs and it was cheaper than using a traditional funeral home. BARE was so much better than the traditional way of arranging things, cheaper, flexible and compassionate.
A J
this was our first experience using a funeral company, we were referred to Bare by a family friend, I had looked into some other larger business and was shocked by some of the pricing structures. We decided to proceed with Bare and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish, our dedicated person was so professional and caring was was available for any questions that we had. The dashboard they set up for you is a great tool to use and in the comfort of your family home which took away alot of the stress, the checklist was also invaluable in helping us to check we were covering all bases. We had cremation service only but I am sure the other options they offer would be just as good. My dads ashes were also hand delivered back to us by a bare representative. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company from a cost perspective and service. Well done to the whole team and thank you. A J
Christene
Bare funerals made saying goodbye to my husband of 50 years very special. They made it so easy from the time I made contact with them, keeping me informed of every step of his journey. They have a lot of different options available. They went above and beyond and always very thoughtful of our feelings. I can highly recommend Bare Funerals to anyone in need of their services.
Diane Koszek
These boys are the best….their staff are exceptional caring and kind right when you need it….thank you. You made my loss of my beloved husband a little bit less stressful…🥰❤️💖
Glenn
At our time of need, on the day of our dad’s passing, we really weren’t sure where to start or who to call. We decided to reach out to Bare Funerals. I’m really glad we did. They were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. Professional, courteous, sympathetic and caring. And most of all, helping us, and guiding us with what we wanted. There was no upselling or pushing us in a direction that wasn’t right for us. Just good old fashioned, simple and helpful service. All the way through from that first day of despair, through to the after care service. We would highly recommend Bare Funerals to anyone that is either unsure of what they want, or want something simple, modern and appropriate to their family needs.
Arlene
My father's death was sudden and just before Xmas. He died at home and whilst waiting for a nurse to officially confirm I had to find a funeral company straight away. I completed online quotes with Bare and another company. Both used the same crematorium. The service with the other company was terrible. i chose them only because they called back first and sounded pro-active. I wish I had gone with Bare. I would advise anyone to research this while your parents or loved ones are still alive and check reviews, most importantly speak to the company. Bare were more attentive, empathetic in their follow-up calls in the whole time I was dealing with the other company.
Chris
My mum was in her mid 90’s and deteriorating. With a view to preparing as best we could, we started speaking with local funeral services. What we found appeared to be ‘cartel’ type pricing (all the same) and all with extras. Then we tried Bare. Genuine customer service , sincerity and competitive pricing. I spoke with caring local staff every time I needed too and they followed up when required every time. The passing of our near and dear is difficult , arranging the final steps in this process shouldn’t be. Bare does it very well, they are a business and a service I would highly recommend.
Pam DeFague
When my husband passed away in 2023 I contacted Bare. Our daughters decided they wanted to go with another funeral arranger, which cost well over $6,500. When I contacted Bare to tell them the daughters had decided elsewhere Bare were just so polite, they treated me with much dignity, respect and understanding. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness in what was a very sad time. I can highly recommend Bare. Thank you.
Denise
The process of organising the funeral arrangements was efficient and well supported by professional staff. The total cost was well below other funeral service providers, without any pressure to add on additional services. The followup support and access to a legal consultation has been very helpful during an emotional time when there are many important decisions to make. I have highly recommended BARE to colleagues and friends. Thank you to all BARE staff who have professionally and compassionately provided services and support during a difficult time
Gwenda
I had no idea what to do when my mother-in-law passed away but BARE made it easy. Their upfront pricing & step by step dash board empowered me & gave me confidence that I could do what needed to be done despite my loss & saddness. Every person I have spoken to has been kind & compassionate, willing to listen & explained things clearly so I could understand how to move forward. Thank you BARE for your excellent service and Rebecca for looking after our family at this difficult time. Gwenda
serena kearney
From my first contact with Bare funerals and the arranging of my brother's cremation has been amazing. Everything was arranged for me and went to plan as advised. Tarah, my contact, was thoughtful, kind, and ensued everything went according to my wishes. I definitely recommend Bare and the dashboard was so helpful with further advice. Thank you so much Bare and Tarah. I will give you a golden ticket or a 12 out of 10. Thank you.
Clint
The BARE team, from start to finish, were excellent - they provided a professional and caring service with the right amount of contact for our family during the passing of my Dad - never intrusive and always compassionate. From initial contact to receipt of Dad's ashes, the Team kept us in the loop about all of the necessities involved when a person dies, from paperwork to receiving Dad into their care and the return of Dad's ashes to our family. The dashboard is a very good idea and an application we found very helpful and informative. Thank you BARE Team, I will recommend your service to people without hesitation. Best Wishes, Breckell Family
Vicki Hazzard
I would recommend BARE without reservation. My experience with email made the whole process of saying goodbye so much less stressful. 12.months on and I am still getting messages of concern. A wonderful organisation.
Elizabeth
During a difficult time, Bare helped simplify the process and took the time to check in regularly with us. Their website was such a help, easy to navigate and helpful to check progress. Useful checklist too.
Ron
The team at BARE were brilliant in helping us with arrangements after the passing of a very dear member of our family. BARE were very understanding, helpful and respectful at all times and we appreciated their kindness and professionalism. BARE did everything after the passing and delivered the ashes with real empathy which was also appreciated. We would absolutely recommend BARE !!!
Ktozi
Bare Funerals stood out firstly because someone had mentioned I would save money. What I didn’t expect was just how much different they would be. Yes saved money but they empowered me to make decisions in my own time and within reason. We looked at short cuts to save money where possible but still wanted the very best for my mums last hurrah. Our dedicated consultant Chelsey was so lovely and checked in regularly. I was not inundated with calls and decisions and everything went according to plan. Thank you Bare for being there at the worst time, to ease the burden without compromising the quality funeral mum deserved.
Loraine Guy
Highly recommend Bare. We had a really good experience with them. Couldn’t fault them or the care they took of us. Loved the online dashboard updated in real time so we always knew exactly where we were in the process.
Sharon
Brilliant easy to follow portal to help navigate the process. This is especially important when you are at your most emotionally vulnerable. The staff were fantastic and did not pressure us at all in add on services but offered them if we needed. The price was also totally reasonable. I would highly recommend Bare to anyone who had lost a loved one.
Brenton
The Staff of Bare really look after you thru the whole process , extremely polite & make everything easy to understand. Took so much worry off my mind. Would Highly recommend.
Samantha
Thank you for being respectful, efficient and transparent throughout the handling of my brother's affairs. Lydia's support and help was appreciated. The portal/website was very useful too. I would recommend Bare to others, and have already done so.
Cheryl
BARE you guys were amazing. Every person I dealt with either via email, over the phone or in person was really helpful and supportive. Thank you, you made a hard time easier to deal with.
Genevieve
I was very happy with how easy it was to deal with Bare Funerals. Having someone to contact to clarify things. Being provided with a list of things to be attended to. And I really appreciated being able to talk to a counseller when I needed it. I would highly recommend Bare Funerals.
Louise
Bare have been with me every step of the way. It was so comforting during one of the hardest moments of my life. I wasn’t prepared for the necessary steps I needed to take, but Bare helped me along with the process. Thank you Bare!
Claire
Through such a difficult time it was a seamless and heart affirming process dealing with the whole team from Bare. At every step of the way, from my first phone call enquiring about Bare services, to the collection of my Mum from the nursing home and to the ashes being delivered every single person I communicated with was empathetic, professional and simply wonderful. I highly recommend Bare.
Linda
The commitment and support of the Bare team was exactly what I needed after the loss of my Mum. Their support was genuine and the step by step assistance for each specific task made each transition incredibly smooth. Their kindness and willingness helped me through a very difficult time and I am so grateful. Thank you.
Jane

Genevieve
Merilyn Taylor
They are very very good and kind. We used them for my grandson last August and the again in December for my husband. My daughter used them in Tasmania and I used them in Victoria. Can not recommend them enough. Very easy and relaxed and helpful, made the whole process so pleasant, keeping us informed all the way. All done over the phone not having to go anywhere else. Their site was very very easy and full of information that made the whole process very relaxing and easy at a very difficult time. Thanks again Bare Funerals & Cremations
Bev B
Process was handled with efficiency and appropriate care from start to finish. I would recommend this firm to anyone requiring a simple departure at life’s end.
Dorothy
I’ve used Bare 3 times in the past 2 years and hold their team in the highest esteem. Honest, reliable and very personable. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Dorothy Vidgen
Natalie
Dani was my initial point of contact and she was just wonderful. She is just the sort of person you need to speak with at such a difficult time. Having an online dashboard was just great as it made it very easy for me to keep up to date with everything and also allowed me to complete everything in the privacy of my own home and at a time when it suited me. Another stand out was Natt, the lady who delivered my Mum's ashes to me. What an absolutely lovely lady. Overall Bare provides great service and great value for money and I would not hesitate to use them again.
Ian
At a most difficult time Bare provided the most professional, and caring support we could have hoped for. Exemplary and authentic … we unreservedly recommend Bare
suzndon
I stumbled across a Bare Interview in a magazine/newspaper some years back and thought I would file that to memory because at the time was such a forward thinking approach to the whole process involved with losing a loved one. I dreaded the idea of having to ever use a traditional funeral parlour having seen first hand the narrower paths on offer. I’ve sat through many funeral services where it was the same service, the same ‘hit parade’ of funeral songs and bible verses or readings. Sadly, my brother was diagnosed with an aggressive terminal cancer diagnosis in 2025. I remembered the Bare article I’d read and decided to really look into what they had to offer. From the moment I ‘dipped my toes’ into the website, I felt no pressure to choose Bare, but found everything on offer made sense to us, was at our family’s discretion and timeframe and above all else, we were not treated as a number - we mattered. From beginning to end, geniune kindness, support and care was given to us from the BARE team and our Senior Arranger Kay Saneaha. Kay was available whenever we needed her either by phone or email. The dashboard assigned to our family allowed us to track what was happening every part of the journey, and held such valuable resources available at our fingertips whenever we needed. Communication was considered, heartfelt and we felt like we and our loved one mattered. There was no pressure to do things by a certain timeline and we were encouraged to look after ourselves during this period. Such a streamlined and professional service that helped the grief of losing a precious loved one that little bit easier. Thank you BARE, we cannot praise you highly enough and will never forget your support and kindness.
Lee
After a recent family bereavement, we were recommended to explore the cremation (and associated) services offered by Bare. I have to say that in a time when many public services are unreliable and questionable, Bare has certainly proven to be the absolute exception. Our experience from start to finish was exemplary. The deep compassion, knowledge of processes, efficiency and courtesy demonstrated by the entire Bare team was outstanding. Our support advisor Jake was amazing and led us through every step of the process with sincere compassion and detailed knowledge of the process. At a time when we were dealing with severe trauma and grief, the Bare team relieved us of the majority of the administrative and organisational tasks allowing us the time to grieve and support each other as a family. As a result of our experience, the majority of our large family have agreed that when the time comes, Bare will take care of us. To the entire Bare team, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will certainly recommend Bare to our extended base of friends and family in the future. What a wonderful, personal and affordable concept.
Trish
Adam
Highly recommend Bare, very compassionate and made the whole process very easy. They were always there to answer any questions. Prices are also very reasonable.
Thomas
I found Bare to be very professional in every aspect of the process, I was informed on every step from start to finish, I can highly recommend Bare to look after your loved one.
Craig
I would like to thank the team at Bare For taking care of my mum with the respect and dignity Special mention to Elle , who was caring and magnificent in making this time in my life go smoothly I would recommend Bare in the future
Anthea
When my dad passed away recently my mind was everywhere I had no idea what to do or where to start with funeral plans. I phoned BARE and they were so helpful. Jessica was amazing so warm caring and professional always up for a chat. Thankyou ❤️
Michelle J
What a standout exceptional organisation! From the initial phone call to The very helpful Dashboard and other phone calls. I have never experienced such outstanding customer service, prompt actioning and clear communication with compassion and understanding not forgetting the cheapest price I was quoted. Highly recommend to all.
Ron
We were very pleased with the excellent service provided by BARE Funerals. Our situation was complicated as we live in Adelaide but our son lived and sadly passed away interstate. BARE coordinated all matters efficiently making needed arrangements through phone calls, email and internet. Their sensitive caring support was greatly appreciated. On the financial side we also found BARE very pleasing - straightforward, a good price, no hidden costs. Ongoing assistance with administrative matters eg a checklist of things to be done and when was appreciated. Thank you BARE.
KelM
We lost our dad in July, he had very clear and concise instructions. Bare Funerals hit every instruction my dad had for his afterlife care. The cremations box was understatedly beautiful. Thank you bare for providing my dad with the most outstanding care. Would recommend to everyone and anyone. Such a hassle free experience at the worst of times.
Michael
I needed to pay for a cost-effective cremation for an old friend who had no money and no family. Bare provided this beyond my expectations. I am very grateful for the assistance provided and the excellent communication.Special thanks to Elle W.
Rieki Ryan
Best ever experience,I nursed my Mum at home but she spent her last noght in hospital,when she passed it was just one pkhone call and Bare took care of the rest.They were in constant contact every step of the process explained and informed.It was a blessingThank you Bare and team.
Lyn McLardy
I am currently using Bare - they have been so helpful and caring - from the first phone call when I was still in shock and now going through the process. So different to dealing with funeral directors in the past
Leesa Holt Gale
You guys were amazing when it came to looking after my beautiful mumma. You go above and beyond with all the contacting of government agencies needed to do when someone passes. It took away the stress of me having to do it and I am truly grateful. Highly recommend!!
Ruth
Bare has made our journey with grief a lot easier, taking the arrangement of cremation etc. away. Not only did they do this for my mum but my dad too. Just what we needed assistance filled with compassion but yet still being professional with excellent service. Thank you Bare for everything.
Suzanne
We much appreciated how much easier It was for my sister and I who are over seventy having Bare funeral manage this time for us. Thank you for all you do.
Jennifer
This was an absolutely easy and stress free experience. The step by step online dashboard was easy to navigate. The customer service was very responsive and there was very little need to actually speak to anyone

Anthony (Tony)
We recently used Bare following the passing of our father, we were absolutely blown away with the support and handling of EVERYTHING by Bare, my support person was Lydia, she was so kind and careing, she was with me the whole way, was only a phone call away whenever I needed help, she was there, if she was in SA, I would of loved to have met her, I found Bare very professional and careing in every step of the way, even the guys that picked dad up were amazing, both me and my wife have a plan with Bare, we are so happy to know the care we will get when it is out turn. Now some of my family are going to get a plan with Bare, they were so impressed. So thankyou Bare from the bottom of our hearts, will happily recommend you guys. Thankyou very much and we wish you all the best in the future, Kind Regards Anthony Anchor, S.A.
Marion
We have used BARE on two occassion. I couldn't fault their service during this stressful time. Each step is monitored and shared with you so you know where your loved one is. Such excellent communication and willingness to go the extra mile.
Katherine
From my initial phone call to receiving my brother's ashes via mail as I live interstate, Bare handled everything with kindness and respect. My Funeral Arranger was always available to answer my concerns and advising me of every stage in the process. Having experienced traditional funeral parlours, Bare Funerals will be my future choice. Thank you for your care.
Beverley
My experience with Bare funerals was so good. Everything was handled with compassion and caring for Brian and myself. They were helpful in every way, always available to answer any questions I had. Would highly recommend to anyone. We had a very low key cremation which was what my husband wanted. When the time is right we will scatter his ashes somewhere he wanted them to go.
Roanne
The team at Bare took care of Dad and us all the way through this difficult and emotional process. As we have never lost a close family member before we were very concerned we would forget something. But Bare's dashboard and team helped us immensely. We are very glad and appreciative for their kindness, support and expertise and would definitely recommend their services.
Rhonda
My association with Bare began 18 months ago, when my husband passed away. As a result of the exceptional service I received from Bare representatives, I recommended Bare to my sister on the passing of her husband in April 2025. My sister and I were both impressed and touched by the courtesy and sensitivity extended to us and the efficiency of all aspects of the process. We would not hesitate to recommend Bare and have done so . Many thanks, Rhonda.
Clair
From the very first phone conversation until we received my husband’s ashes, we received support, kindness and all at a high level of professionalism. I would highly recommend Bare to family and friends, knowing there is someone there to help guide you through the process every step of the way was such a blessing at a difficult time.
Jacquie
Bare was easy and very helpful when we needed it. We lost my mother in law and it was sudden , knowing we could carry out here wishes without any complications was wonderful. I would recommend Bare to everyone.
Tracey
Bare have assisted me with both parents over the past 4 years. I was so impressed by the care they provided, the ease of a difficult process and always being available and answering every question. I have no hesitation in giving Bare 5 stars and recommending them wholeheartedly. Thankyou Bare
Joyce
I can't recommend Bare Cremation highly enough. My brother passed suddenly, with no forward planning leaving me, his closest relative to sort out things. Bare has been wonderful in helping me to navigate my way through something of which I have had absolutely no experience. There is a Dashboard with all the information of what must be done and when, five free Grief Counselling sessions, a 15 minute consultation with a Bare lawyer and a Bare consultant to assist all the way through. I could not have done it with our BARE.
Annie
We chose Bare as our cremation provider as we wanted a professional service with as little complication as possible. Being able to attend to everyting online made things even smoother, as we lived quite a distance from our father's hospice. Our father did not want a formal funeral, just a cremation and a life celebration a little further down the track. So knowing that he was in good hands, and would be personally delivered to us quickly after the cremation was a burden lifted. Bare staff were careful, supportive and dignified in all their communications, never making us feel pressured. We would highly recommend their services to anyone needing an excellent and simple cremation service.
Joanne
From the initial enquiry through to the return of dad’s ashes, every staff member was empathic, compassionate and extremely helpful. BARE checked in via email or phone call regularly to assist or ensure all our needs were met. This company truly understands grieving process and stands beside you during those difficult times. We highly recommend this company.
Darryn
From the moment I first contacted Bare I felt at ease and made to feel very comfortable. All the staff were very compassionate and helpful throughout the process of my Dads passing. Could not recommend Bare highly enough when it comes to dealing with the hardest times in your life.
Gordon
I could not fault BARE when my wife died in March 2025. All arrangements were made quickly and in a caring manner with excellent follow up. I literally did not have to do anything except collect my dear wife’s ashes. BARE I also there at any time offering sound advice n all matters associated with the death of a loved one. I am at peace knowing that my remaing loved ones will have the same wonderful service when it is time for my departure. Gordon Williamson Ballarat Vic
Diane
From the very beginning the staff couldnt do enough to explain the process they were understanding and thoughtful and just wonderful with every step of thw way a BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ALL
Haylee Cook
I’ve used this service with both of my parents now and I’d have to say they are the most amazing people to have look after your loved ones, the care they provide is truly a blessing! I know it’s not a service people would think to recommend but I definitely would! They take their time when communicating the steps and everything in between, and the hand delivery of the ashes is done in such an honouring way, extremely grateful for them, Thank you BARE for looking after my parents and also myself during such a difficult time x
Jacinta
From my first call, to questions & follow ups, every single person I spoke with could speak with knowledge about my case & its progress. An amazingly kind, calm and dignified experience
Matthew
We did not want a lot of fuss and cost when mum died, and the process was very simple and took a load off our minds at a difficult time. Communication was very clear and timely and the staff at Bare were really kind and respectiful. I would recommend very highly.
Julia
From the very first phone call to the final arrangements, Bare Cremations exceeded our expectations in every way. Every team member we interacted with was genuinely caring, kind, and compassionate, making a difficult time so much easier. Even when it came to legal advice—something I expected to be just a conversation about fees—their support went above and beyond. I was walked through the probate process with patience and understanding, and they even offered help if I chose to handle it myself. I felt truly supported every step of the way. We are incredibly grateful for their guidance and cannot thank them enough for their exceptional service.
Phil McLaren
Our Sister didn't want a funeral but also didn't want her two boys to go through any more trauma than losing their Mother age 72. I found the Bare website, read their reviews, ethics and thought these are the right people for my Sister. From the first phone call to Yvette who set up a dashboard online, where we could look at anything we needed to do, to Tim our concierge who kept us totally informed all the way via emails, phone or text, to Chris Bares driver who delivered our sister home to us. Beautiful, beautiful people who gave my Sister her dignity through her final journey, I cannot say thank you enough. From the sad end of my Sisters life to the return of her ashes to me, Bare were fantastic, not one error, never missed a beat. I have already recommended Bare to Friends and I now know who I wish to speak to when my time approaches. Kindest Regards, Phil McLaren.

Bare cremations is such a wonderful alternative when your grief is so raw. I couldn’t handle all of my mums final moments on the phone or via email which is lovely when you don’t feel like talking to people or sitting in a funeral home. I was handled with kindness and respect and kept informed every step of the way. Everything was managed for me and the process and the entire process was seamless. When mum arrived home I was so surprised at the entire thought and presentation Even that was a blessing for a very exhausted grieving heart. Would highly recommend.

The Bare staff were all great to deal with. Communication was friendly, helpful and efficient. The online portal was also simple to utilise and stepped us through the required steps. This was particularly helpful, as we have never been required to oversee the arrangements for the loss of a loved one before. Nothing was too much trouble and the process was stress free.Cannot recommend Bare highly enough.

In October 2024, I turned to Bare Funerals following the passing of my husband, Philip. During one of the most difficult times of my life, the team at Bare Funerals provided not only professional but also deeply compassionate support, guiding my family and me through every step of the process. From our initial contact, it was clear that Bare Funerals prioritizes empathy and care. They took the time to listen to our needs and offered personalized services that reflected Philip’s life and our wishes. The team handled everything with the utmost respect and sensitivity, ensuring we were always informed and at ease. Although we chose a cremation without a formal ceremony, Bare Funerals made sure that Philip’s remains were handled with great care. They personally delivered his ashes to us once the cremation was complete, which provided an additional level of comfort during such an emotional time. I cannot express enough how much their support meant to me during this incredibly difficult time. Bare Funerals made a challenging experience more manageable, and I will forever be grateful for their guidance, professionalism, and thoughtful care. Thank you, Bare Funerals, for your exceptional service and for helping us honor Philip with such dignity.
