Affordable, personalised North Sydney memorials.

A Bare Cremation (often called a direct cremation) is an alternative to a traditional funeral as it is a more simple and affordable option. It is a private or unattended cremation with no family or friends present during the process. This option allows families to create a personal memorial service anytime at a later date or whenever they are ready.

​

A Bare Memorial is best for families who want a less traditional funeral and a flexible option with no time constraints. For families who would like support arranging a ceremony, a Bare Memorial is perfect for you. A Bare Memorial includes everything in a Bare Cremation and a memorial service arranged by your arranger at a time and place that suits you. 

We use a wide variety of venues to suit your individual wishes, whether it be a formal service to something more casual.. A Bare Memorial offers a wider variety of venue options as it doesn’t include a coffin which is commonly not accommodated in some venues. You choose your venue based on your wishes, be it a cemetery chapel, a function center, a sports club, community hall, or a restaurant or pub.

Depending on the location, this option may be offered. Please speak to your arranger so they can check if this option is possible.

If you do not wish to include some of the elements that are not required, please speak to your arranger so they can make adjustments. You will only pay for the service elements you need.

With Bare Funerals, anything is possible. Your Bare Arranger will coordinate with the family and their preferences. Feel free to give us a call and we’ll see if we can make it happen.

If you already have a venue in mind, you can inform your arranger and we’ll liaise with the venue management to check the availability and cost.

Yes, most definitely. Your loved one will be bathed and dressed by our mortuary staff. Your arranger will speak to you about providing suitable clothing for your loved one and we will organise to gather that from you, or the clothing can be given to our staff when we come to bring your loved one into our care.

The date a funeral can take place will depend on many factors, including the location of your loved one and completion of paperwork. There are also many things that need to be planned and put into place. We suggest that at least 7 days is necessary to allow you time to process matters, make decisions and planning to take place. Your funeral date will need to be settled in conjunction with your funeral arranger, but our advice is to not rush and to give yourself the much needed time to prepare for the day fully.
