Couldn’t be any more complimentary of the service provided. Matt and the Idylic team were always available to respond to our queries and were very sensitive and understanding to our cultural needs.

Matt at Idyllic Funerals was great support throughout our cremation process and death certificate application. Straightforward on the costs, empathetic and genuinely interested in who we were, he was always there when we needed him. We also asked Matt to MC our memorial service, which he did with enthusiasm and sensitivity. Highly recommended.

I cannot thank Matt enough for everything he have done for our family. Matt made us feel like we were in safe hands. He is such a personable, genuine and caring person who took the time to really listen to us, get to know our loved one and understand exactly what we wanted. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, while he guided us through every step of a process we knew very little about. What really stood out was how much Matt genuinely cared. He didn't make us feel like we were just another family he was helping. He made us feel like family. The way he spoke about our loved one came from the heart and his empathy, thoughtfulness and willingness to go above and beyond meant more to us than words can express. He allowed us to honour our loved one exactly the way we wanted. Matt has brought a different light to the way funerals are approached. He has shown us that it can be about so much more than the formalities and celebrating a life in a truly meaningful way. A special thank you also to his wife Leela, who was another incredibly warm and kind presence throughout the whole journey. I cannot recommend Idyllic Funerals highly enough.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot speak highly enough of Idyllic Funerals and the exceptional care, compassion, and professionalism they showed my family during one of the most heartbreaking times of our lives. From the very beginning, Matt and Leela approached every aspect of my mum’s farewell with genuine tenderness, dignity, and respect. Their attention to detail was extraordinary, and they went above and beyond to ensure that every one of Mum’s wishes, as well as those of our family, was honoured. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every request was met with kindness, patience, and understanding. What I appreciated most was how effortlessly they guided us through an otherwise overwhelming process. At a time when I was navigating immense grief, they took care of virtually everything, leaving very little for me to manage beyond the necessary legal formalities. Their organisation, communication, and thoughtful approach made an incredibly difficult experience feel seamless, allowing me the space to grieve and focus on saying goodbye to my mum. They also offered an extensive range of beautiful and thoughtful options across every aspect of the funeral, including floral arrangements, catering, transport, caskets, and the finer personal touches that made Mum’s farewell truly special. Every detail was handled with such care, and I never once felt rushed, pressured, or limited in how we could honour her. Above all, what stood out was the genuine compassion and reverence with which my mum was treated. She was never simply another person in their care; she was treated as someone deeply loved, whose life and final wishes mattered. That meant more to me than I can adequately express. I will always be grateful to Matt, Leela, and the team at Idyllic Funerals for helping us give my beautiful mum the dignified, meaningful, and loving farewell she deserved. Their kindness brought comfort during a time of profound sadness, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family seeking a funeral service that combines exceptional professionalism with genuine humanity and heart.

My family & I are so grateful to Matt, Leela & the wonderful team at Idyllic Funerals following my beloved aunt's recent passing. Matt, Leela & I have been friends for many years, so when my cousin's were finding it difficult & confusing to navigate the process, especially at a time when everything felt so heavy, I knew Matt would take good care of them & guide them through the process gently. The help & support he provided them & the family as a whole was incredible. It was literally a weight lifted off all our shoulders. The organisation was flawless & the day of the memorial service was absolutely beautiful. Could not recommend Idyllic Funerals more highly. We are so thankful to have had not only such a warm & caring professional on our side, but a truly great friend also. Thank you so much for everything you've done for our family. 🙏

No words can really explain how grateful we are for Matt. His service was the most perfect goodbye for our beloved boy. He was so gentle, kind and supportive of the family. We are so lucky to have had him there for the hardest day of our entire lives. Matt, you were truly born to do this.

Matt was compassionate, genuine, and caring throughout the whole process. He listened to what mattered to us most and created a service that truly reflected who my dad was and honoured his memory. Every detail was handled with warmth and professionalism, and his kindness made an unbearably hard day feel manageable. I highly recommend Matt to any family needing a funeral director who truly cares and is filled with compassion. Thank you again Matt and Leela 💜

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.

Meet Matt

Your Eastern Suburbs Funeral Director & Celebrant

Hi, I’m Matt.

After 20 years in finance, the loss of a dear friend changed everything. Today, as an independent funeral director and celebrant, I work closely with Sydney families to create farewells that feel genuine, warm and true to the person being remembered — with honesty and care from the very first call.

I believe a funeral doesn’t have to be gloomy to be meaningful. It can be a space for comfort, connection and even moments of lightness.

If you’d like to talk things through, I’m always here.

Clear & transparent pricing

We believe families should have clarity around funeral costs. Below is a simple guide to our main service options.

Direct Cremation

A simple cremation without a ceremony

From $2,900

Includes transfer into care, all essential arrangements, and the return of your loved one's ashes.

Simple Farewell

Bridging the gap between direct cremation and full service

From $6,500

For families wanting something informal. A family-led gathering with your loved one present.

Full Service Funeral

A complete, personally guided farewell

From $8,800

Everything handled with care — ceremony, celebrancy, and every detail personalised to your loved one.

Every service is personalised, so final costs may vary depending on venue and individual choices. We are always happy to provide a no obligation quote.

*If you’re considering a Simple Farewell, it’s worth checking with your chosen venue that they’re comfortable having a coffin present. Most are happy to accommodate this, and we can help guide you through the conversation.

**Burial plot and interment fees are not included and paid directly to the cemetery.
