Meet Matt

Your Canterbury-Bankstown Funeral Director

Hi, I’m Matt.

After 20 years working in finance, the loss of a dear friend changed the direction of my life. In that moment, I realised I wanted to do work that truly mattered, work that supported people through one of life’s most difficult times and honoured each life in a meaningful, personal way.

I left the corporate world and retrained as a funeral director and celebrant here in Sydney. Today, I work closely with families to create thoughtful and heartfelt farewells that reflect the person being remembered.

While grief is very real, I believe a funeral can also be a space for comfort, connection and even moments of gentle lightness; the stories, music and memories that remind us of who someone truly was.

At Idyllic Funerals, my role is to guide you through the process with care and clarity. I take care of the practical details, help you navigate decisions, and work with you to shape a service that feels right for your family. Often it’s the small things; a favourite song, a personal story, or a meaningful detail, that make a farewell truly special.

If you need guidance or would simply like to talk things through, you’re always welcome to call me.

Every detail was handled with warmth and professionalism, and his kindness made an unbearably hard day feel manageable.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt and Leela organised a wonderful send off for my father. It was organised so well. The programs in cardboard were a great detail.
What made it wonderful was they were invested in honouring my father. They listened intently as we spoke of his life and the Eulogy’s. The day were supported by themes they had been able to draw out from their research and their reflection as people spoke. It showed they cared and not just doing a job. I would highly recommend their services.

From the moment we first spoke, to the final farewells, everything was handled with detail & care.  Nothing was a problem. Everything was smoothly & respectfully managed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When my father passed we wanted to find an independent, family run operation. We could not have found better than Matt at Idyllic. From the very first contact Matt was caring, calming and kind. He guided us through the process from start to finish, performed a magnificent job on the day, and was available for whatever we needed throughout the process. I could not recommend him more highly for those looking for someone who cares deeply about the families he helps navigate this difficult time.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment we engaged with Matt he was calm, comforting and considerate, at such a horrific and confusing time. He supported me and my family after the passing of my husband and made the whole process smooth, manageable and quite beautiful. He was thoughtful throughout and always engaged. After such a tragic loss I was stressed and foggy - he came and sat with us, he listened to our story our situation and met me where I was at. The whole process felt professional yet extremely personal. I will be forever grateful to him and the team for making Mikes send off so beautiful and exactly as he would have liked it. He offered guidance and support throughout the whole process and was always available for questions, updates, or a few words of advice. Deciding on who will help you make those final goodbyes to a loved one is an impossible decision, especially when you're feeling at your worst. Those people stick with you. So thank you Matt, more than I can properly put into words, the impact you make during these moments is immeasurable and won't ever be forgotten.

From our very first contact, Matt took the time to listen, understand, and guide us through what was an incredibly difficult time. His communication, compassion, and attention to detail made the entire process easier, particularly as we were organizing everything from interstate.

We are deeply appreciative of Matt and his team for their empathy, understanding, and patience as we navigated important decisions during such an emotional time.

Our sincere gratitude goes to Matt and Leela for their unwavering support, compassion, and care. They ensured that our family member’s wishes were honoured and carried out with the utmost dignity, respect, and sensitivity.

We are truly grateful for the kindness and professionalism shown to our family throughout.
