Your Inner West 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.
We believe families should have clarity around funeral costs. Below is a simple guide to our main service options.
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.
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.
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.
*If you’re considering a Simple Farewell, it’s worth checking with your chosen venue that they’re comfortable having a coffin present.
**Burial plot and interment fees are not included and paid directly to the cemetery.
Every family and every farewell is different. As your local funeral director, we work with families across the Inner West to create services that feel personal, meaningful and true to the life being remembered.
Talk to us about which option is right for your family.
From local churches and community spaces to chapels across Sydney, there are many places to hold a meaningful farewell. Here are a few options we can help you explore.
