We have just bid farewell to my father on Thursday and from the very first moment I spoke with Bronwyn the concierge, I felt at ease trying to navigate the process and grieve and function all at the same time. Kristal my arranger was beautiful and caring and calm, and no question was too small to answer. The service was beyond expectations and the family were overwhelmed with how beautiful and also the care that BARE took on the day for the family was outstanding. Our celebrant Maureen Thorpe was the perfect choice and would highly recommend BARE to anyone not just for price but for quality of service and for truly caring when it counts, thank you 🙏

Couldn’t fault Bare with my Uncles funeral. I even received a beautiful card from them on his 1 year anniversary which was unexpected. I now have a funeral plan for myself with them. Wonderful company full of compassion and efficiency.

Bare have been so supportive through the whole process. Every step I was managed and helped with great kindness. All our family and friends were so happy with the funeral. The assistance with the order of service, the music , the photo gallery were all so easy to do with the great people from Bare. I can’t recommend them enough.

My brother passed early January 2026.Very suddenly. We decided to put Mal in the wonderful hands of Bare Funerals. One of the worsed days of our life was taken care of by Bare. From my first phone call they treated my brother & our family with gentleness, kindness & took all the worry of organising a funeral from us, they did it all. We will be forever thankfully & can truly say our very sad day was mixed with smiles as Bare Funerals made sure not to make the funeral gloomy. I can look back & smile & know my brother had a wonderful send off. Robyn Edwards ❤️

After the recent sudden passing of my husband in an Aged Care Facility, I engaged Bare to take care of his funeral arrangements. From the moment I first spoke to a Bare staff member (Bec) who advised me on the next steps, the level of service I received was above my expectations. My planner, Jake, showed compassion and understanding and was only too happy to answer my many questions. He checked in regularly to see how I was getting along. He was prompt and reliable. Nothing was too much trouble. I was referred to a wonderful celebrant who was unstinting with her time and took extra effort to help me plan a service that I wanted to be a little different and celebrate the happy times in my husband's life. I also wanted to have some customised stationery and the Designer provided a wonderful and very fitting design. All the paperwork was made simple. I never felt like ' just the next customer ' which is unusual with many organisations. Their business might be called Bare but to me there was nothing bare about it. Rosalie C

After a sudden passing of a loved one we were not sure where or how to start with funeral arrangements. We had heard of BARE and decided to start there. From the very first phone call, we knew these were the people to help us. We were able to choose the type of funeral that suited both our budget and wishes without any upselling pressure. From start to finish there was always someone there to speak with and reach out to whenever we needed support. The dashboard provided clear, up to date progress regarding ashes, the death certificate and timelines ensuring everything was completed in time for the funeral. Our dedicated arranger, Tarah was superb, as were all the other people who helped us along the way. We chose to have a celebrant and she too was exceptional. Many people at the funeral remarked on her compassion. For anyone comparing funeral companies, BARE truly stands out, and we could not recommended them more highly.

I can thank Fern enough for her care and compassion when we used Bare for my husband’s funeral arrangements. Fern was fantastic to not only me, but our two boys aged 12 and 15. She made a difficult, emotional process just that bit easier. The staff member when attending the viewing was equally as compassionate and really helpful. Bare’s app was simple to use, giving me updates, prompts and letting me know where processes were at and it was easy putting together a tribute page for my husband so family and friends could leave a comment and share their photos. I’m so grateful to the team at Bare.

During one of the most difficult times in our lives, Bare was there providing comfort, compassion, and professionalism beyond our expectations. From the first phone call, their team with our main contact - Jess, guided us through every step with patience, compassion and understanding, making sure all our wishes were respected. Our dad's funeral service was beautifully arranged, with thoughtful touches that truly honoured his memory. We are deeply grateful for their kindness, respect, compassion and dignity they brought to the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend Bare and their wonderful team to any family in need of caring support, during a difficult time.

Bare looked after all of the details for my Mothers funeral service. From the initial contact in what was a distressing time, their professionalism was first class. Communication was excellent and the staff at the end of the phone and at the chapel on the day of the service made the whole process straightforward, their online systems made choices clear and easy to implement. I would heartily recommend them to anyone.

My mother first saw BARE Funerals advertised on T.V. - After googling BARE's five-star reviews, my family and I decided to contact them, in regard to the passing of our dearly departed and beloved Grandma, for her funeral arrangements. Our funeral arranger, Jessica Garner was very empathetic and offered support throughout the entire process, without any hesitation. Jessica's warm and comforting presence made the process a little less overwhelming and a little less stressful. Every question and enquiry was handled delicately, promptly and precisely. BARE's online process was easy to navigate and use with their online dashboard. The online dashboard gives you step-by-step updates, where you can manage tasks, access a range of support and stay updated on the status of your loved one's arrangement. There was no upfront payment required, or hidden fees. The costs were fairly priced, and invoiced/totaled at the completion of the service. My family and I would like to personally thank Jessica Garner and the BARE team for their commitment to excellence in customer care and service. BARE lives up to their Moto "Hard, made easier." - making one of the hardest times of life that little bit easier, and making goodbyes simpler, more personalised and way more affordable for all Australians. We wish BARE, and their colleagues every happiness and continued success.

I can't thank Bare Funerals enough for the care and compassion they showed during the most difficult time of my life saying goodbye to my partner, Damon. From the first moment, they treated Damon and our family with such dignity, warmth, and understanding. Every detail of the service was handled with kindness and respect, and it truly reflected the person Damon was - loving, gentle, and deeply cared for by everyone who knew him. Our son Jason and I are so grateful for the support we received, and for helping us create a farewell that was both beautiful and meaningful. Thank you for making sure Damon's memory was honoured exactly the way he deserved. And thank you for bringing Damon home to be with his family.

I am glad that I have made the decision to go with Bare when I needed to find a funeral service. Especially for someone who has lost their love one for the first time, I felt lost and was overwhelmed by the whole process. But Bare's services go beyond the funeral, they made the whole process easy with personalised checklist, free legal consultation session and free counseling sessions etc. Big thank you to the team. Highly recommended.

Recently, we had to farewell our dear aunty Roslyn. We contacted Bare Funeral, and from beginning to end, the whole process was a smooth and comforting experience. The team was professional, empathetic, and incredibly helpful, guiding us through each step with care and understanding. They kept us updated and supported the entire way, which made a difficult time so much easier. Based on our description, Bare suggested Ronlyn Tranter as our celebrant — and she was the perfect fit. The service was beautifully balanced with tears and laughter, truly the perfect farewell for Roslyn. We’re so grateful for the compassion and professionalism shown by everyone at Bare Funeral.

I had a really difficult task to organise a funeral and cremation for my mother in August 2025. The task is overwhelming when in the midst of grief. I engaged bare as they seemed like a modern and simple approach to a really difficult task. They were wonderful. They went through everything step by step with thoughtful support. They looked after my late mum with dignity and sensitivity. I recommend that anyone is needing to plan a cremation or funeral service, ensure you make contact with Bare. My mother is at rest and my anxieties were relieved by a professional new organisation. With extreme thanks. Craig Taylor

There is no company out there that can come close to being as phenomenal as Bare!! Dealing with loss is tough enough, having to plan the funeral is just as difficult, however, with Bare’s constant contact, support and compassion from everyone involved, it made the process much easier to cope with and gave my family the perfect send off for my grandfather. Bare also found a celebrant for us, Dee Weisner, who did an amazing job. Dee was so warm and understanding, it was like she was apart of the family. I recommend if you’re looking for a celebrant, ask for Dee. I do have special mention to some of the people who helped out for my Grandfathers service: Mae, you did incredible (see images for example of her work) the booklets and slideshow were a hit, everyone loved both, I can’t thank you enough. There was also Tarah who read my mind and suggested handing out Lei’s (it was nice to know my idea wasn’t entirely crazy), Natalie for handling the NSW paperwork and being a champ dealing with my tech issues. There were others whom I am unable to remember their names (my apologies), you all were so amazing, your kindness helped my family and I during this difficult time and without your help we wouldn’t have been able to give him the perfect send off. Thank you Bare, you have the right people working for your company in an industry that requires delicacy and kindness.

Funny thing about death, when someone you love passes, no one really tells you just how much work and preparation will need to go into planning their funeral. You sit there in your grief, dumbstruck, trying to come to grips with the fact that the person you love most in this world is now gone, its numbing. The sheer thought of picking venues, coffins, catering, flowers, invitations, video’s of remembrance, just seems all too hard to wrap your head around. I then found Bare Funeral Services; and it was like my mum was watching over me. When I felt like I just needed to crawl up in a ball and run away, the staff from Bare were insurmountable in not only supporting me through these sad times, but went above and beyond to work tirelessly in the background, to still ensure everything came together for the day of her funeral. I want to give a big shout out to Chelsea, this woman literally became my counsellor, her loving heart to just listen, her support to organise where I didn’t have the strength, and ability to get things locked down, was my saving grace. I could never have done it, and I will always be grateful to her for this. My mum’s funeral could not have been more perfect. Trust me, if you don’t know where to start, and you’re hurting, let Bare carry you through this process, and that’s exactly what these women will do. They're incredible, in every way.

At the worst time of my life, when my wife of 52 years suddenly passed away, BARE helped me through this terrible grief with so much compassion, care and professionalism, allocating an individual staff member Kelly, as my personal arranger and single point of contact throughout the funeral process. I can't thank BARE enough for the kindness shown to me. There were endless options of service level available for me to choose from, each explained through Kelly or the online dashboard, without the slightest bit of pressure to go bigger or better. I was shown so much patience by Kelly, when I had moments of hesitation or indecision with choices I made, nothing seemed a problem. I also think BARE provided the funeral service I wanted, at exceptional value, based on comments from friends with experience of funeral costs. I highly recommend Bare and thank them for being there for me.

Approaching an on line funeral service is the simplest way to prepare and have a beautiful service on your terms. Bare Funeral was exemplary in laying down the processes and having a person nominated to look after you each step of the way. Bare Funeral online check list ( dashboard) is so helpful completing necessary task. They also offer free legal advice, if required, which i accepted and found so helpful. As for the day of remembrance, it ran so smooth everything one commended positively on such a moving experience.

We couldn't have done it without Bare. The family decided to produce our own service with slides and speakers from the family. We chose the slides, selected the entry and exit music, and other music to be played in-between speeches. Bare organized it perfectly, including the handouts to attendees. Also, since we have many family and friends overseas or who couldn't attend the service, the ability to have the video available for months online was invaluable. But above all, the knowledge, competence, sensitivity and kindness shown to us during this difficult process where we had a funeral within 10 days of my mother's passing was very much appreciated, all with minimal intrusion. I really couldn't recommend them more.

We are so grateful to the team at Bare Funerals for their care, professionalism, and support during a very difficult time. They made the process of planning a funeral feel manageable and respectful, and we truly appreciated their guidance throughout. A special thank you to Mick Bourke, who led the service with such warmth, humour, and authenticity—it honestly felt like he was one of dad's old mates. The way he spoke to dad, as if he were right there in the front row, brought a sense of comfort and lightness that we will never forget. His delivery was absolutely perfect for us. His words brought comfort, lightness, and even a few smiles, which meant so much to all of us. One moment that really stood out was a beautifully delivered, beer-themed prayer that captured the spirit of dad perfectly. Thank you again to everyone at Bare for helping us create such a meaningful and personal farewell.

Hi My Mother past away in January this year & so I had to organise her funeral. So I did some research & after reading reviews & checking out prices it was clear to me that Bare was the first funeral service I should contact. From the very first interaction with Bare I knew I didn’t have to go anywhere else . From start to finish everyone that we dealt with from Bare were fantastic. We felt that they all genuinely cared , & the support was really appreciated during what was a very difficult time for the family. They took the weight off my shoulders, & made it simple for me to navigate my way through. My mothers funeral was a beautiful dignified celebration of her life .

We are so pleased with our son's funeral from start to finish. I experienced Bare on the Gold Coast last year with my younger brother's funeral (a Memorial service following Cremation) and thought they did it really well. I found in looking for a reputable funeral company in Melbourne, it was difficult to find a company with such honesty in their fees & integrity as Bare Funerals had, and the Bare Next-of-Kin platform was excellent for updates & laid out the requirements for the funeral beautifully. We felt Bare really took care of our Greg when ours was the worst possible circumstances in which he passed away. Thanks all Staff again.

Our Dad had told us for years, we thought jokingly, that when his time came that we should use Bare Funerals. When he passed away after a very short cancer battle, we discovered Bare Funerals actually existed and I got in contact with them (as well as a number of other funeral services). From our original contact with Holly, to Dee who organised absolutely everything and Michelle who coordinated the service on the day, we could not have asked for a more compassionate and dedicated team to make sure that we gave Dad the send off we hoped for him. We didn’t choose the eco friendly coffin and even with the upgrade, the pricing was extremely competitive compared to other funeral services. Nothing was too much trouble from Dee who looked after everything and our family can’t thank you enough for making what was a distressing time for us move along smoothly and allow us to celebrate Dad and his life in the way we wanted. Thank you 😊
