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.

Thank you so much to Matt & Leela at Idyllic Funerals. 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. During a time of grief, Matt handled everything. It just happened. Leela created the most beautiful notices, photo tributes and order of service. Thank you again.

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.

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.

Meet Matt

Funeral Director & Celebrant – Sydney

Hi, I’m Matt.

After 20 years in finance, the loss of a dear friend changed everything. Today 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.
