Heartfelt celebrations of life
At Idyllic Funerals, we honour the unique journey of every individual by creating services that feel personal, meaningful, and healing. Based in Marrickville, we’re an independent funeral director serving families across Sydney’s Inner West — including Newtown, Ashfield, and Leichhardt — as well as greater Sydney regions. Our modern approach embraces creativity and individuality while respecting cultural and traditional values. We guide families with compassion through every step to ensure the service brings comfort, connection, and peace.

About Matt
I’m Matt Morgan, a Sydney-based funeral director and celebrant. I want to redefine how to say goodbye to your loved one.
I worked in financial services for over 20 years until the loss of a dear friend inspired me to explore a more fulfilling path.
I am passionate about helping others find comfort and meaning during difficult times. By offering personalised, heartfelt farewells, my aim is to not only change the way funerals are done, but also enrich lives in a profound and lasting way.
How funerals chose me:
a fork in the road
After losing my friend, I longed to connect with people in a more meaningful way. The corporate world was no longer for me, but what the next move would be was unclear. I wrote a eulogy for my friend’s memorial service which transported me into another realm of reflection, a profound place where I felt a sense of belonging.
A few months later, my job came to an end, and I saw it as the perfect opportunity for a fresh start. I enrolled in a course to become a funeral celebrant, and before I knew it, I was partnering with Picaluna, who make beautiful funerals accessible to all. Now I want to bring heartfelt care and compassion into my work as a funeral director whilst also being able to hold the space for whatever may arise in the moment.
