Our guiding principles.
At Bare, we are deeply selective about who joins our team. Because of the incredible culture we’re now known for, each role we advertise attracts hundreds of applicants, giving us the opportunity to choose from the most compassionate, capable, and values-aligned candidates. Our team is made up of people who bring empathy, professionalism, and a genuine desire to support families at one of life’s most vulnerable moments. Whether they’re guiding you through an arrangement, caring for your loved one, or helping with aftercare, every Bare team member is here because they’re the best at what they do, and care deeply about our mission.
Unlike many funeral providers, we don’t own funeral parlours - and that’s entirely by design. It means there’s no financial incentive for us to steer you toward a specific type of service, venue, or package. We’re not here to upsell or pressure you into holding a funeral you don’t want or can’t afford. Whether you choose a simple unattended cremation, a memorial gathering, or something entirely your own, we’re here to support what’s right for your family - nothing more, nothing less.
Bare is proud to be Australia’s only ISO-certified funeral provider, which means our systems and processes meet globally recognised standards for quality and accountability. This isn’t just a badge - it’s a framework that guides how we serve families every day. ISO accreditation reflects our commitment to continuous improvement, ethical conduct, and delivering consistent, high-quality care at every step of the journey.
Entrusting a loved one to our care is a responsibility we take incredibly seriously. Our families can rest assured that Bare and our partners adhere to each state’s cremation and burial acts and a strict code of ethics, ensuring your loved one is looked after under the highest legal and professional requirements. We implement rigorous identification protocols from the moment your loved one enters our care, utilising identity-confirming wristbands that remain with them throughout the entire journey and are cross-checked against paperwork at every stage.
For cremations, a nameplate stays with your loved one throughout the entire process to ensure constant identification. To guarantee the ashes returned to you are undeniably those of your loved one, we use permanent tracing methods—such as etched codes or stamped lead plates—that link the ashes directly to their personal details.
For burials, a nameplate matching the identification tags is attached to the coffin. Once closed, the coffin is transported to the cemetery where staff cross-check the nameplate against all paperwork, while our team confirms the correct resting place on arrival. By holding ourselves only to the strictest standards, we ensure your loved one is treated with dignity, accuracy, and care.
We believe funeral costs should never be a mystery. That’s why we lead the industry in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees and no fine print and hold our website’s pricing tools and our quoting process to the highest possible standards. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for, and why. From your first quote to your final invoice, you’re in control and you’ll never have to pay a deposit to bring a loved one into our care.
We believe the role of a funeral provider extends well beyond the funeral itself. That’s why every Bare arrangement includes complimentary aftercare, with access to professional grief counselling, legal and estate support, and guidance on the practical matters that follow a death. Whether it’s closing accounts, navigating probate questions, or finding ways to memorialise your loved one, we walk alongside you - not just for the funeral, but for the full journey of saying goodbye.
From day one we’ve invested in building technology that supports, instead of replaces, human-led care. We firmly believe that the right tools, deployed in the right way, can free up our humans to spend more time caring for our families by automating processes like paperwork, and allow families more transparency into what’s happening at each step.
