You may use your own celebrant or member of the clergy if you prefer. Alternatively, a family member or friend can officiate at the service. A Celebrant is not included in the package and is an additional extra cost if you wish for Bare to engage a celebrant for you. Whatever your choice it is important that someone is designated as the officiator of the day. Please speak to your arranger for more information.

You’ll receive complimentary Bare Aftercare as part of all services.
Unlike many other funeral providers, we believe that care should extend beyond the funeral service. That’s why with any Bare Cremation, Memorial, or Funeral service, you’ll receive our complimentary Bare Aftercare package. This includes support for post-death administration, wellbeing, and more.
The hard parts of memorials are easier with Bare.
Free aftercare for all Bare families.
Our care goes the distance – because the hard parts of death don’t end with the funeral. We’re here to make the post-death journey that little bit easier for you with a range of ongoing support.
Frequently asked questions.
Can we use our own Celebrant?
Is food included at a Bare Funeral or Memorial?
Catering is an optional extra, as some families choose not to provide any catering. We will tailor our venue recommendations to your preference, as some venues require catering, such as restaurants.
Can I have a Bare Funeral or Memorial live streamed and/or recorded?
Live Streaming and recording of a service is a lovely way to include those who cannot attend in person. At some venues, live streaming and recording is provided free of charge. Our friendly team can help you locate a venue with this inclusion. If a venue doesn’t include it, you can choose to add it as an optional extra, which usually costs $600–$900 for a service professional to attend and record. However, costs may exceed $1,000 with some providers, depending on the timeframe and equipment required.
How soon can I plan a memorial?
As a memorial service does not have the coffin present it can take place at any time.
We do request at least 7 days however to plan the memorial, as it requires securing a venue, meeting with a celebrant (if you choose to include one in your package) and organising the many features of the day. If you wish to have the ashes of your loved one present at the memorial we would also need to have the memorial booked on a date that ensures their ashes are available to come back to the family.
Giving yourself time and not feeling rushed is something we feel is quite important for you at a time like this.
What does the Celebrant do at a Bare Funeral or Memorial?
A celebrant is the person entrusted with bringing the story of your loved one out in all its richness. Your celebrant will meet with you prior to the service to help plan the Order of Service; who will speak, what they might like to say, what poems or passages will be read, and more. On the day, your celebrant ensures the smooth running of your service and supports your family every step of the way.
A Bare appointed celebrant is an optional extra in your Bare Funeral or Bare Memorial package to help plan the service and officiate on the day. Your Bare Arranger will recommend a celebrant based on an understanding of your family and your loved one. Whether Bare appoints a celebrant on your behalf or you organise a family member or friend to carry out the role it is very important someone is designated to officiate on the day. You will always remember the celebrant who celebrated your loved one's life, so we take great care in our selections.
What is the Photo Slideshow?
Photo presentations allow for the sharing of rich and intimate moments with everyone gathered at the funeral or memorial service. Accompanying music allows you to share your loved one's favourite songs. We recommend that families include a wide variety of photos of all stages of your loved one’s life.
Your arranger will work with you to create a slideshow to be played at the service. You'll need to provide us with the photos and select the music you'd like to be played. We recommend showing about 40 photos per song, and playing 1-2 songs. If you only have a few photos, this is fine. We can even show one still photo while a song is played, to allow your guests a time of reflection.
Do I have to display the ashes in an urn at a Memorial?
This is a very personal decision that will be respected by your memorial arranger in either case. The ashes can provide a tangible representation of your loved one, and they may form part of a special moment in the service for everyone to pay their respects to the deceased. Many families choose not to bring the urn, and instead, display a large framed photo to represent the life of their loved one.
Do I have to have flowers at a Bare Funeral or Memorial?
Flowers can be a beautiful way to add a touch of colour to a service. They are not required, but they can be included in your package as an optional extra. If you choose to have flowers, you might also consider complementing them with a personal touch of your own; lots of families get creative when it comes to honouring their loved one, so feel welcome to add an array of photos, letters, books and other unique mementos that speak to your loved one’s story.
It's OK if you don't know where to start. We do.
Our funeral directors have come from all walks of life with a single shared purpose - to make the hardest time in your life just a little bit easier.
Human-led care, enhanced by technology.
Our funeral arrangement platform gives you 24/7 updates on your loved one, takes away the burden of post-death administration, and gives you free access to Bare's team of lawyers.
