Meet Matt
Your Marrickville 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.
