Beautiful, modern funerals
Our ethos
Every farewell should reflect the individual it celebrates. We want to shift the traditional funeral experience into one that offers comfort & inspiration by tailoring every aspect of the service to honour the life lived, creating cherished memories and a renewed sense of connection.
About Matt
Hi, I’m Matt. After 20 years in the finance industry, I experienced the heartbreaking loss of a dear friend, and everything shifted. I realised I wanted to do work that truly mattered. That helped people. That honoured lives.
So I left the corporate world behind and became a funeral director and celebrant. These days, I help families say goodbye with grace, warmth, and yes, a touch of lightness. I believe funerals don’t have to be gloomy to be miserable. They can be uplifting, personal, even beautiful.
At Idyllic Funerals, I blend practical know-how with heartfelt care, taking the stress off your shoulders while creating a service that genuinely reflects your loved one. If that sounds like what you’re after, let’s talk. I offer a free 15-minute planning consultation to help you get started.
