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. In that moment, I knew I wanted to do work that truly mattered, work that supported people when they needed it most and honoured lives in a personal, authentic way.

I left the corporate world and retrained as a funeral director and celebrant in Sydney. Today, I help families create meaningful farewells filled with warmth, dignity, and respect. While grief is real, I believe a funeral can also be a space for comfort, connection, and even moments of lightness that reflect the person being remembered.

At Idyllic Funerals, I bring together practical expertise and genuine care. My role is to guide you through decisions with clarity, take the weight off your shoulders, and help shape a ceremony that feels right for you and your family. Whether it’s incorporating favourite music, telling cherished stories, or weaving in small but significant details, I make sure each service reflects the life it celebrates.

If this sounds like the support you need, I offer a free 15-minute planning consultation to answer your questions and help you take the first step toward creating a heartfelt and memorable goodbye.
