Bare Funeral staff were extremely helpful, caring and professional while assisting my family to navigate the death of our mum and subsequently arranging her Celebration of Life. I have no hesitation in recommending their service.
Adams
There was nothing I could fault with Bare who assisted in the funeral and memorial service for my Mum. Communication was constant, open and helpful. I have already passed on my recommendation to people who enquired as to who we used. The pricing was also very competitive. Highly recommend.
Jacqui
We recently lost our Mother very suddenly. My brother contacted Bare and we can not speak highly enough of their care and support. They took all the stress out of a highly emotional time. We dealt with Jake for the planning, Mae handled all the memorial booklets and helped provide a beautiful slideshow and on the day Rachel was just fantastic. Affordable and provided a lovely send off for our beautiful Mum. Thankyou.
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 !!!

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.
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.

Simon
Very impressed with the service we received from Bare Their attention to all details of the funeral was outstanding Having lost my wife I was particularly impressed with the regular personalised phone calls i received from staff providing me with updates
Jacqueline
I had an exceptional experience with the Bare team - guiding and supporting me every single step of the way, during what has been the most difficult time of my life. From my initial first call, I was guided and supported every step of the way. They clearly explained the process - I would have 3 points of contact - my Organiser, the celebrant, & a Graphic specialist handling the creative etc. And what an incredible team. Thankfully all reached out often & gently & respectfully reminded me of the time deadlines. If they hadn’t, I honestly would not have done it. I could not bring myself to do any of the very important tasks required. Our celebrant was a very caring and deeply compassionate person who helped me immensely with planning mum’s memorial. She took the time to get to understand the amazing person mum was, & just knew what she would say about mum would be perfect… and it was. I was really struggling with writing me eulogy. I just couldn’t exactly articulate what I wanted to say. She kindly offered to read my version, & helped make it more concise yet conveyed the same message. It was perfect. On the day, she was so gentle, professional, & incorporated mum’s spiritual side in perfectly. At the end, many of the guests also commented just how beautifully she spoke, and her words were so comforting to all of us there on the day. Then the incredible graphic specialist. So talented creatively, but also so patient, empathetic and supportive, as she lead me through each step. The final version is just so perfectly depicting our beautiful mum, as was the photos montage and music. I still look at them often now. I will treasure this always. Our Bare coordinator who handled everything on the day, gently guided and supported myself, and the entire family throughout the morning. Carefully coordinating everything so it all ran seamlessly, and it did. So professional and yet so thoughtful. I must admit I was a bit concerned initially at the thought that there wasn’t a physical ‘office’ as such… but it was irrelevant I quickly realised, due to the care I was receiving, regardless of the person’s location. In fact, it felt far more relaxed, and far less ‘cookie cutter’, which I liked. The Dashboard & the technology associated with it, are very impressive. It was my go-to most days… often multiple times per day. To keep me on track with tasks & prompts from my ‘To Do’ list. I loved that I could monitor RSVP’s, & the photos and memories tabs are also things I hope I can continue to look back on. I am grateful to the founders of Bare for business model they have created, the exceptional team they have employed, and for allowing us to tailor memorials to honour our loved ones, all at a competitive cost. Mum’s memorial, whilst so sad as it was finally ‘real’, was such an incredibly beautiful tribute to remember our beloved mum. All of our guests commented just how perfectly it reflected mum, and the entire memorial was perfect. I could not have done so without the Bare team supporting me throughout the entire process, thank you.

Consultant made it easy, quick and simple monthly payment plan... Awesome Thankyou
Sue
BARE were very understanding and supportive throughout the process of planning my husbands cremation and memorial service. I was consulted on everything and they guided me through the whole process enabling me to choose flowers, booklets, music, venue, photos etc The resulting memorial service was entirely appropriate in capturing my husbands life story and enabled the family to express their feelings and snapshots of his life. The celebrant recommended by BARE was excellent and visited me at home before the ceremony, as were the BARE staff at the ceremony. The whole process was largely done by phone calls and emails which was my preference and there were no problems along the way. I found BARE to be an economical decision as well as providing an excellent result and recommend them to others.
markdstacy
We used Bare for dads funeral. Cannot say enough good things about the services we received. It was extremely polite, professional, and above all empathetic. Nothing was a problem, and they made a very hard time bearable.
Kelly
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.
Wendell
Bare Funerals provided exceptional care during a very difficult time. Michelle was absolutely wonderful—kind, compassionate, and incredibly supportive from start to finish. She explained everything clearly, was always available to answer questions, and handled every detail with respect and professionalism. There was no pressure at any point, just genuine care and understanding. The process was simple, transparent, and dignified, which allowed our family to focus on what really mattered. I can’t thank Michelle and the team at Bare Funerals enough. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, honest, and respectful funeral service
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.
Pamela
Having chosen prepaid Bare Cremations I can't recommend them highly enough. My husband passed away late November and all I did was phone them and the compassion, attention and care showed to me was exceptional. From the start to the end of the procedure I was kept fully informed and knew exactly where Mike was until his ashes came home. I will be prepaying my cremation with Bare, I know I will be taken good care of and my two sons won't have anything to worry about. Thank you Bare Cremations for everything. Regards Pamela.

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.
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.
Rob R
The Bare service was phenomenal and really helped guide as through a difficult time with exceptional and caring service with an impressive digital platform that was very easy to use and intuitive, helping us navigate what was a new process with ease. The interaction with our assigned Arranger / Conductor was fantastic she was kind, professional and considerate at all times.
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

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.
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 ❤️
Deborah
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.
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.

Prepaying our funerals was hassle free thanks to the very pleasant, knowledgeable, efficient staff member who responded to our call.
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.

I’ve had a wonderful experience with Bare Funeral Having to plan my mum’s funeral,Kelly helped me organise step by step making it stress free Also a big thank you to Gaynor the beautiful celebrant who helped me with preparing the service and her special words during mums service. Also I loved the story of how Sam and Cale (Bare Founders) came about and great advertising which help make my decision.
David
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.
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.
Tenille
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.
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.
Helen
Bare Funerals were compassionate and caring during a difficult time. They took care of every facet of the funeral service with professionalism, excellent communication, and genuine support. Everything was handled smoothly and with respect, and all at an excellent price. I would not hesitate to recommend Bare Funerals to anyone needing to farewell a loved one.
Catherine
We had the most fantastic experience with Bare when arranging our Dad’s cremation and funeral service. I cannot fault any aspect of the service we received (massive shout out to Jess and Mae!) and the whole thing ran so smoothly. It took so much stress out of what was a really difficult time. I cannot recommend Bare more highly. The online platform is so user friendly and being able to make all the arrangements from the comfort of our own home was a total game changer.
Peta
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.
Lesley
Can't praise their service high enough. Were very respectful in transferring Mum from nursing home. I have prepaid my own cremation with them and are comfortable knowing that all went well
Jodie
I can't thank Lydia and Bare Funeral Services enough for their amazing service and compassion during a difficult time. From the first phone call to the day of service , every detail was handled with care , understanding and professionalism. Lydia went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and our family was well supported throughout. Lydia's kindness and attention to detail made a world of difference, we are so grateful for everything she did. Highly recommend their services to anyone wanting a truly caring and respectful farewell for their loved one.
Christine
I was so happy with Bare. The whole process of organising my husband's cremation and memorial was very streamlined. Everyone was lovely to deal with and I loved how I was kept up to date with everything with either emails or phone calls. I had so many comments on how lovely my husband's service was and I couldn't have done it without the help of the wonderful staff. I thoroughly recommend Bare for any funeral arrangements you need.
Mary-Ann
Thank you so much Bare Funerals, your compassion and respect for us during the arrangements for my Aunties funeral. Your pricing and professionalism is outstanding. Special thanks to Natalie M, Ashlyn, Bronnie, Kelly, Aiza, Mark, Amanda, Brodey, Boris, Lizzy, Floyd and Patrick who all worked as a team to make the day of my Aunties funeral go so well. They all made sure that everything went smoothly and kept the family well informed on the day. Would highly recommend Bare funerals for their quality, professionalism and above all price. Well done, keep doing what you’re doing so well.
Alison
My experience saying goodbye to my Dad with Bare Funerals and Cremations was exceptional. From the very beginning, every member of the Bare team I spoke with was compassionate, understanding, helpful and incredibly efficient. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for Dad’s Memorial Service. The whole process felt supportive, personal and was tailored to the way we wanted to celebrate his life. Their website was also an invaluable tool, full of clear and relevant information, with each step laid out on a simple timeline. It was always updated so I knew exactly where we were in the process and the checklist for next steps (like managing the estate) was a huge help at such a difficult time, especially if it is your first time having to do this kind of thing. The pricing is very reasonable, with flexible package options to suit different needs and budgets. Dad’s Memorial Service itself was so special. It was heartfelt, unique and filled with beautiful energy. Everyone who attended said it was the most meaningful service they’d ever been to. It’s exactly the kind of farewell I’d want for myself one day. Bare have truly transformed this industry, making a sad and difficult time easier, less stressful and so much more personal. They think of everything and ensure you feel supported every step of the way. I cannot recommend Bare Funerals and Cremations highly enough. Choosing them for my Dad was the best decision and I’ll be forever grateful.
J S
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.
Peter
From our first contact with Jessica, the whole experience was seamless, well organized and easy to follow via the dashboard. Bare organized everything from the Cremation, picking up of ashes, Memorial service, booking the venue,Video presentation with photo's, food and decanting of the ashes. A very difficult time made far simpler than we expected. A huge shout out to Jessica, Tarah, Mae and Celebrant Kim who made this daunting time less stressful.Will be bookng our own arrangements through Bare after this experience,
Kim
Our experience with Bare Funerals was exactly what we needed at such a painful time. Kate, our contact and support member was incredibly helpful, and always ready to help with whatever we needed. Bare took all the stress and mind boggling details away, which gave us time to grieve. The memorial service was perfect, Bare really did our Girl proud, and gave her a send off that was truly beautiful. I cannot thank you enough for everything you all did for our Family I cannot recommend Bare highly enough.
Eva
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.

My sister recently,y died suddenly and tragically. I’m so grateful we found Bare Cremation Everything was so perfectly streamlined, efficient, simple, and affordable. We were able to provide a lovely memorial for my sister, which we may not have been able to do without Bare Cremations. There was no heavy selling or attempts to upsell, as advertised. The customer service was exemplary including the initial contact, our appointed manager, administration staff and the person who delivered back my sister‘s ashes. This was particularly helpful at such a traumatic time. Communication was excellent and we were kept up-to-date at every step of the process. The Online platform was great. Very easy to use, and contained really useful checklist and hyperlinks to various administrator actions which was incredibly helpful. I would certainly recommend Bare Cremations would definitely use their services again.
Tasha
BARE - Highly recommend! The team were very responsive, very thorough and always caring from the first phone call to bringing our Mum home to us. Outstanding service and organisation. Our memorial was everything we wished for. Thank-you BARE!
Karen
My Mum & Dad purchased a Bare cremation package in 2022. We lost Mum at the end of July 2025. From the first phone call made to Bare we recieved care and compassion and felt supported. Access to a Dashboard that tracked the process made tasks easier. The arranger we had made contact by phone and sent regular emails to keep us updated and check in on our general wellbeing. I highly recommend Bare Funerals & Cremation Services.
Craig
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.
Dianne
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.
Marilyn
We used Bare to prepay our cremations a couple of years ago which was a smooth process with very helpful and caring Bare staff. My husband sadly passed away not too long ago all I had to do was make a single phone call to Bare they completely managed all the arrangements from beginning to end. They kept in touch with me checking on my well-being and providing regular updates on what was happening. I recommend using Bare they are kind and caring and provide a wonderful service to families at a very sad time. I would rate them ten out of ten.
Bev
I cannot rate Bare Funerals enough, we had a prepaid contract and when the time came it was executed very professionally and kindly. Nearly everthing was done without us having to lift a finger, it made the painful process so much easier to bear.
H Harris
I recently began a prepaid funeral plan with Bare. They were very easy to deal with, explained every detail clearly and gave me ample time to ask questions. I chose them because they recently dealt with a near relative’s death and I was most impressed with them.
Christine
I was so glad I choose Bare as the staff were very compassionate, caring and responded to our sometimes late requests to change the slideshow, the sequence and choice of music. We felt supported thrrough the stages and not pressure for information. As you know its a very emotional time one both my daughter and I hadn't personally experienced. When the final day came for the memorial the chapell was ideal and Libby and Browyn guided us through the hour with sensitivity and compasion. Thank you to everyone involved including Michelle, Azia, Libby, Bronwyn and staff behind the scene. I would highly recommend Bare to anyone who is in need of funeral services. A BIG thank you!
Cyndi
Highly recommend Bare Jess O'Neill and the team went above and beyond to make my brother’s memorial service truly special. Every detail was handled with care and compassion. Jess was such a blessing – her warmth, professionalism, and genuine kindness brought so much comfort to our family during such a difficult time. Nothing was ever to much. We will always be grateful for the way she made the day so meaningful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making an incredibly hard time much more bearable.
Anthony
With many thanks to all the Bare team for making future important decisions regarding my prepaid cremation.
Goldie
Bare was exceptional and exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly helpful and supportive, their online resources guided us, and the portal functionality simplified the whole process and relieved us of so much pressure allowing us to focus on our loss and grieving. Bare staff were efficient with great personal contact from prior to Mum’s passing to collecting her ashes through to supporting Dad with the complimentary financial consult, to assisting in organising her memorial. Amazing and am so thankful to have had Bare onboard - made all the difference during a difficult time.

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.
Alison
Just wonderful service, very compassionate and easy to get along with, couldn't fault the way everything was done and nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were helpful no matter what the problem and the funeral service was very well done. Thank you for making a very sad and difficult time easier.
Kevin
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.
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

Timothy
When my mother died unexpectedly we had nothing planned. I was told be a friend to contact Bare. I am so glad I did. Step by step they guided me through a difficult time and took away so much stress trying to arrange my mother’s funeral arrangements. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Bare for your friendliness, compassion and professionalism.
Donna
Kind, caring, thoughtful - fabulous from beginning to end. Communication was excellent could not ask for a better team to care for you and your loved one. Just excellent 💕

Debbie
Thank you to the team at Bare for making my brother Graig’s passing feel safe and cared for from the moment I call Bare funerals I know I was in the right hands to take care of everything I’m truly grateful thank you
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.
Fiona
The team were very helpful and considerate during a difficult and emotional time. Easy to deal with and and supportive of my family.
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.
Malcolm
From first contact, to burial service, to aftercare support the Bare Funeral Service was exemplary. At a very difficult time for my family, Bare’s professional team sympathetically took control and managed the entire process, running it like clockwork. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bare to any prospective client seeking a caring, effective, professional Funeral Service organisation.
Yvonne
Excellent response to enquiries . Very informative and helpful. The process of organising a prepaid cremation was made very easy and was all finalised quickly with no hassles. Well organised team. Thanks everyone
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.
Irene
You have enough trauma when you lose a loved one without having to make arrangements in a strange, unknown and confusing area. The team from Bare were efficient, kind & understanding when I lost my partner recently. The decision we made a couple of years ago to arrange a simple no fuss pre-paid cremation took all the worry out of my hands. I cannot thank them enough.
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.
Kerry
I have been so so happy with Bare and highly recommend them to anyone. I love how caring they have been in this hard time. They think of everything which takes so much stress away at this time Not only do they help prepare the most difficult of things they offer many various things such as solicitors and notifying authorities that need to be notified. If you can’t tell already I loved working with Bare right down to the reasonable costs of dealing with Bare as well.
LongQuang
Thanks so much Febb, Gia, Emma, Chelsea and your team, for the professionalism, personalised and caring support that you all have given us during the preparation and conduct of the memorial service and all the associated paperwork 🙏💛 It went well and people told us that our Mum would be very happy and proud of what we did for her. It brought is comfort and solace while navigating the profound sadness. VL and family
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.
Linda
I highly recommend Bare. The entire process was seamless, from the excellent and transparent online pricing and service descriptions through to the caring people, the gentle prompts and guides, and the wonderful care they took of Mum. I was able to choose the updates I wanted, such as knowing when she was cremated, and the memorial service was everything I’d hoped for. The Bare legal team were super helpful and explained the probate process in a great way for me. I’m really pleased with the service
Rhonda
A couple of years ago myself, husband and mother in law all prepaid our cremation with Bare as we didn’t want the fuss, expense and expectations of a regular funeral. In the last month we sadly have had to say goodbye to mum and Bare were wonderful from that initial phone call after she passed until we were hand delivered her ashes. Thank you to the Bare Team particularly Holly and Lydia 🙏
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
Merril
My brother prepaid his cremation with Bare, and when he passed I didn't have to do a thing. Filled out a few forms and Bare did everything. I was so thankful at such a sad time.
Louise
Prepaid my parents Funerals couple of months later Mum passed away made our life so much easier that everything was organised from the time Mum was picked up to the time I picked up her ashes. They were fantastic great communication all the way letting us know what was going on. Highly recommend.This service
Jan
I was very impressed with the service i received during this emotional journey. i have nothing but praise for the team i had handling my husbands funereal arrangements. Michele, Christine, and Izzy were so compasionate and went beyond with their care. Highly recommend them
Darren Munday
The service and attention we received from the whole team at Bare Funerals was nothing but exceptional. They assisted and guided our family through the whole process and made the service and experience everything that we wanted. There is no hesitation in recommending Bare Funerals to everyone we know, and when the needs arrive we will definitely place ourselves in their hands again. Thank you to the Bare team for helping us to say goodbye in a respectful and meaningful way.
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.
Zia
Bare truly does it differently. Thinks outside the square in providing a truly custom, unique memorial. The whole process was seemless. The guidance and assistance with every moment, every step is truly phenomenal.. i cannot speak highly enough of Bare. Do yourself a favour and check them out.
Geraldine
I was very impressed with the service that Bare provided and would definitely recommend them. My husband passed away after 7 distressing weeks in hospital, and it was wonderful to deal with with the lovely staff at Bare after that experience. A special thanks to Jessica o’Neil who kept in touch regularly, helping us with the planning of the memorial and choosing a lovely celebrant for the service. Everyone was so patient and empathetic for which I am very grateful.
Pam
We are very grateful for the care, respect and compassion that was shown by all the staff at Bare after the death of my mother. The incredible support before, during and after the funeral was very much appreciated. The whole process including the very individualised funeral service and the returning of the ashes to my home was seamless. Thank you to Jess and Natalie in particular. I highly recommend this great company to take all the funeral stress out of a difficult time.
Kerrie
We lost both our parents within 2 x weeks of each other a couple of months ago. Unfortunately mums passing, cremation etc was a nightmare, a horrid experience (not with Bare) and then dad passed 2 x weeks later. We had a prepaid service for dad with Bare Cremations as he was approaching 91 years and knew it wouldn't be long for his celestial transfer. Bare were caring from the get go, professional immediately after his passing and have been absolutely wonderful to deal with since. The staff are magnificent during your time of utter confusion. They were even compassionate with us whilst dealing with mums passing and that stress. Highly recommend their services and fab staff.
Nirmala
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.
Margaret
My husband passed away recently and he had prepaid his cremation with Bare Funerals/Cremations. I cannot fault the service I received from the first contact with Bare after he passed to picking up his ashes and receiving the Death Certificate. Bare arranged everything with compassion and sympathy, and gave me all the information i needed. I was allocated a staff member who supported me throughout the process. I would highly recommend Bare Funerals/Cremation company and having it prepaid made it so easy for us, his family.
Darren
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.
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.
Joanne & Lucy Clark
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.
Tony
Bare organised a fantastic funeral for my Father. Sensitive and caring, honest and upfront with the service and costs associated. The day went smoothly and the website and uploading of information was easy and they were there to help talk me through everything. I would definitely recommend Bare when looking for a Funeral Director for your loved one.
Clare Partridge
I would not hesitate to recommend Bare Funerals and Cremation services. The service, support and coordination/guidance they provided following the death of my mum in arranging her funeral and cremation was much appreciated. From outlining the packages available including costs, to the personal dashboard including to do lists, timelines and next steps was very helpful. The thoughtfulness of staff and personal touches they provided I felt were above and beyond.
barry mcgrath
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 . I highly recommend Bare to anyone who is looking for a funeral service to farewell their loved one. Thank you Barry McGrath & Family Turrella, Sydney, NSW
Rob
Thankyou Bare Funerals for your care thought and assistance throughout the process of arranging a memorial service for my 96yo father. Tanya took time to discuss the service , produced a remarkable proforma that I was able to adjust and add a few memories and the end result was an exceptional memorial service for my father, enjoyed by family and friends. My greatest thanks to Nat , from start to finish,for her ability to put together a lovely memory for me with regards to honouring my dad

Thankyou to Michelle and Christine and the whole team I dealt with. Everyone was very caring and helpful. The whole process of the funeral and lead up went smoothly. The casket , flowers and service booklet were beautiful. Thankyou again, Anna Whitney.
Wendy
Recently the Bare Team came to my rescue in organizing my father’s Memorial Service. I was panicking about organizing this service, and was dissatisfied with the help I received when I organized my mother’s funeral a few years earlier. During a search on the Internet, I came across the Bare site and decided to try them after reading their glowing reviews. I though that if they were half as good as the reviews, I’d be happy. As it turned out, they were many times better. The Service was very special for our family and all those who attended. Their process was comprehensive and easy to follow. Everyone I dealt with was fantastic: from my main contact person, to the AV producer, to the celebrant, to the organization of the Livestream, to the representatives who arrived on the day with their expertise to handle any last-minute hitches and provide a very welcoming environment. It was a perfect final Tribute to my father. I can’t thank the Bare Team enough. I am so grateful for the support they gave me.
Suzanne
I can not say enough about the wonderful service I got from everyone I spoke to at Bare. Right from my initial enquiries before my mother had even passed I knew that I was in good hands. All the details were mapped out for me so that when my mother did pass, I felt ready and confident of the process despite my grief. They made preparing the Memorial Service so easy for me and conducted it so beautifully. I am so grateful to them and do not hesitate in highly recommending them.
Rob
The whole Bare experience was first class. Michelle Murphy looked after me, very caring and respectful. Michelle helped with finding a place for the memorial, a Celebrant , the Urn and flowers. Cost wise it was very reasonable and affordable. Highly recommended. Thank you.
Kerry
Drew our consultant was super easy to deal with and the service they provide suited our needs. "recommended"
Glenda
I can't speak highly enough of BARE Funerals & my Funeral Arranger Lydia, including other staff members... for their professional manner & caring support to make all my requests & plans of action happen so quickly, a week before Christmas, 9 days of losing my husband. Losing him so quickly was heartbreaking, but then planning his cremation & memorial in such a short period before Christmas, was so overwhelming. Lydia was just amazing; organising this to happen🙏 from the cremation so promptly, to helping with arrangements to pick urn up, then after his Memorial & Wake, all criteria required with staff regarding the certificate. I give this amazing & compassionate group of people at BARE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it made my Christmas a little easier!🙏 Kind Regards Glenda
Belinda James -Cliff
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.
Lynette Lang
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.
Tim
I was referred to Bare by my nephew who used Bare for my sister. Bare took the stress out of planning the funeral from collection of my Step Mother to the memorial and return of the ashes. Would recommend to anyone.
Damien
Using Bare funerals was such a reliable and supportive experience through the difficult time of planning a funeral. Chelsea and her team were absolutely wonderful in supporting my wife in organising her mums funeral. They were tbere every step of the way and being available anytime of the day for anything which was the best service I have experienced in a long time. They were supportive, caring and ensured the service that my wife asked for was met 100 percent. Chelsea and her team went above and beyond and made sure anything my wife needed in this difficult time was made available. I highly recommend Bare Funerals,Chelsea and there hard working team that put together an amazing service that was delivered on such a difficult day that did honour to our loved one that had passed away.
J OReilly
We had heard about Bare Cremation on the radio, and when we suddenly needed these services, their name came to mind. They quickly moved from being on our short list, to being clearly the best match for our needs. We are happy to confirm that Bare Cremations provided us with exactly the services and assistance that we needed to hold a fitting memorial service to celebrate our brother's life, including arranging a fitting venue, perfect slideshow and a fabulous celebrant (thanks, Michael). Yes, the cremation also happened and all government processes were taken care of by the company - everything went very smoothly. All in all, we can highly recommend this company.
Julie
From the first phone call to the last request for thank you cardsI was so well cared for. My husband's Memorial Service was beautiful and everyone involved worked hard to ensure it was exactly what I wanted for him. I was exceptionally happy with the effort that Febb put into the slideshow presentation and accompanying music.
Jeanette
Bare Cremations have been amazing from day 1 of joining. When our mum passed they were absolutely beautiful. They guided us every step of the way, they provided so much information and help with all decisions that needed to be done,from music,photos, flowers. The whole team made sure that our family were also ok through the time and after. Thank you again especially to Jessica and Emma, Febb, Ronlyn you guys made our mums memorial one beautiful day From McCaughan family
Helen
I chose a Bare Cremations prepaid service to care for my mum following her death. Bare was responsive, compassionate, available and did everything they advised they would do - in the timeframe they gave. I could not have asked for better care and compassion.
Coral
highly recommend Bare they looked after everything which gave the family one less thing to worry about when my husband died in February the lady who delivered his ashes couldn't do enough for me making sure i was ok and asked if i needed anything we had his memorial at the hotel and it was a celebration of his life which is what he wanted for people to be laughing and happy thank you Bare
Rebecca
Don’t wait or hesitate, prepay your Cremation today! – The standard of service by Penny & Drew was exceptional. Also want to mention Ashlyn for her customer service interaction. Penny went above and beyond to make sure my needs were met. Drew was caring, considerate and grounded which is needed when discussing your final life arrangements. Would recommend to all Australians seeking peace of mind for yourself or family-friends.
Denise
I called this morning & spoke with Drew. The process was so simple and professional taking the stress of what the future may hold away,

We recently had a family member pass away unexpectedly, and found Bare online, and decided to engage their service for the funeral. Every step of the way Bare were compassionate, communicative and organised. The service was perfect, the gentleman who conducted the service was incredible, heartfelt and eloquent. Every single aspect of this difficult part of our lives was made better through the Bare team and their attention to details. From the bottom of our hearts we want to thank you all. The Grant Family
Julie Fleming
I cannot speak highly enough of the Bare Funerals concept and their team. The services they offer are very affordable and are of your own choice. The team are extremely professional and compassionate and easy to talk to. I am so glad I found them and have all my funeral plans sorted so my family wont have anything to worry about.
Jane
Bare Funerals helped us every step of the way to arrange dad's funeral, exactly how we wanted it. Bare were amazing to deal with, very compassionate and thoughtful and always there to help if we didn't understand anything. Gia, Emma, Georgie and Carol our celebrant made the whole process run smoothly at an emotional time, truly great at there jobs. I highly recommend Bare Funerals, they are affordable and offer great customer service with compassion and care in your time of need.
Russell
When Dad moved into aged care, we reluctantly planned for a future we knew would come.... With an online search, found Bare prepaid Cemations. I initially baulked, but no, I went ahead & organised his cremation, as per his wishes. Four 1/2 years later, the inevitable happened...Dad died & I was there....I struggled to think clearly, but Bare was informed & so began the fulfilment of the promise they made; Dad was cremated a few days later, with a lot of formalities such as a Death Certificate & Newspaper Death Notices attended to by Bare, who "touched base" from time to time but certainly weren't intrusive. I now have Dad's ashes with me (delivered by courier) waiting for the time when family can fulfil the last part of his wish... & be scattered in the same place his wife (of 50 years) were scattered in 2012. I have recommended Bare to others, & know their experiences have been similar
Liz
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.
Julie
Very friendly service and recommended by my cousin and her husband who have also prepaid theirs with Bare.
Debbie
We had already spoken about using Bare Cremations for my husband and myself, and made mention of this to my Father. He agreed he didnt want a funeral as he was 92 and felt that he had lived a full life and wasnt wanting any fan fare. With family and friends living all around Australia and overseas, the idea of a service and formal funeral was a logistical nightmare. When Dad passed on 5th March, a quick call to Bare Cremations and within 20 minutes the process was all in place. Very empathetic staff were attentive to what we were going through and made the experience a lot less formal and more one on one. Within 2 weeks we had Dads ashes personally delivered and we are now arranging a time for our own memorial with everyone a lot less distressed by his passing and ready to rejoice together for a life well lived. I have no hesitation in recommending Bare Cremations to everyone who is of the same mindset: I beleive that my family should not have to arange a funeral and mourn a loss at the same time. Better the arrangements be finalised prior and just set the process in motion upon my passing and in due time say your farewells as need be. Thankyou for your service, affordable and respectful.

Simply excellent. Everything was organised perfectly, and the funeral service was lovely. I'm sure my dad would have loved it. I was kept up to date at every stage, and things were simple to organise, with the help of Tegan. The team are very respectful and accommodating. Everything was taken care of in a timely and respectful manner, and the price was great. No hidden fees or surprise costs. The quote I was given at the start was the amount I paid at the end of it all.

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 😊

The people at Bare Cremation are in my opinion the "best of the best" in the funeral / cremation business. I am so very glad that we chose Bare to handle the cremation and celebration of life service for my father Ian. Every person I dealt with when making all the necessary arrangements was wonderful and very reassuring to deal with. At no time did I feel under any pressure throughout my entire dealings with Bare. They kept me well informed on all of the necessary processes, helped me choose the right venue for all of our family members and produced the highest quality Order of Service booklet that I have seen at a funeral service. The celebrant that conducted Dad's service did a brilliant job that helped us greatly to participate in the celebration of Dad's life story. I highly recommend Bare to anyone in need of their services.
