I can't recommend Bare Cremation highly enough. My brother passed suddenly, with no forward planning leaving me, his closest relative to sort out things. Bare has been wonderful in helping me to navigate my way through something of which I have had absolutely no experience. There is a Dashboard with all the information of what must be done and when, five free Grief Counselling sessions, a 15 minute consultation with a Bare lawyer and a Bare consultant to assist all the way through. I could not have done it with our BARE.

We chose Bare as our cremation provider as we wanted a professional service with as little complication as possible. Being able to attend to everyting online made things even smoother, as we lived quite a distance from our father's hospice. Our father did not want a formal funeral, just a cremation and a life celebration a little further down the track. So knowing that he was in good hands, and would be personally delivered to us quickly after the cremation was a burden lifted. Bare staff were careful, supportive and dignified in all their communications, never making us feel pressured. We would highly recommend their services to anyone needing an excellent and simple cremation service.

From the moment I first contacted Bare I felt at ease and made to feel very comfortable. All the staff were very compassionate and helpful throughout the process of my Dads passing. Could not recommend Bare highly enough when it comes to dealing with the hardest times in your life.

I highly recommend Bare. The entire process was seamless, from the excellent and transparent online pricing and service descriptions through to the caring people, the gentle prompts and guides, and the wonderful care they took of Mum. I was able to choose the updates I wanted, such as knowing when she was cremated, and the memorial service was everything I’d hoped for. The Bare legal team were super helpful and explained the probate process in a great way for me. I’m really pleased with the service

A couple of years ago myself, husband and mother in law all prepaid our cremation with Bare as we didn’t want the fuss, expense and expectations of a regular funeral. In the last month we sadly have had to say goodbye to mum and Bare were wonderful from that initial phone call after she passed until we were hand delivered her ashes. Thank you to the Bare Team particularly Holly and Lydia 🙏

I could not fault BARE when my wife died in March 2025. All arrangements were made quickly and in a caring manner with excellent follow up. I literally did not have to do anything except collect my dear wife’s ashes. BARE I also there at any time offering sound advice n all matters associated with the death of a loved one. I am at peace knowing that my remaing loved ones will have the same wonderful service when it is time for my departure. Gordon Williamson Ballarat Vic

I’ve used this service with both of my parents now and I’d have to say they are the most amazing people to have look after your loved ones, the care they provide is truly a blessing! I know it’s not a service people would think to recommend but I definitely would! They take their time when communicating the steps and everything in between, and the hand delivery of the ashes is done in such an honouring way, extremely grateful for them, Thank you BARE for looking after my parents and also myself during such a difficult time x

Bare truly does it differently. Thinks outside the square in providing a truly custom, unique memorial. The whole process was seemless. The guidance and assistance with every moment, every step is truly phenomenal.. i cannot speak highly enough of Bare. Do yourself a favour and check them out.

I was very impressed with the service that Bare provided and would definitely recommend them. My husband passed away after 7 distressing weeks in hospital, and it was wonderful to deal with with the lovely staff at Bare after that experience. A special thanks to Jessica o’Neil who kept in touch regularly, helping us with the planning of the memorial and choosing a lovely celebrant for the service. Everyone was so patient and empathetic for which I am very grateful.

We are very grateful for the care, respect and compassion that was shown by all the staff at Bare after the death of my mother. The incredible support before, during and after the funeral was very much appreciated. The whole process including the very individualised funeral service and the returning of the ashes to my home was seamless. Thank you to Jess and Natalie in particular. I highly recommend this great company to take all the funeral stress out of a difficult time.

We lost both our parents within 2 x weeks of each other a couple of months ago. Unfortunately mums passing, cremation etc was a nightmare, a horrid experience (not with Bare) and then dad passed 2 x weeks later. We had a prepaid service for dad with Bare Cremations as he was approaching 91 years and knew it wouldn't be long for his celestial transfer. Bare were caring from the get go, professional immediately after his passing and have been absolutely wonderful to deal with since. The staff are magnificent during your time of utter confusion. They were even compassionate with us whilst dealing with mums passing and that stress. Highly recommend their services and fab staff.

We couldn't have done it without Bare. The family decided to produce our own service with slides and speakers from the family. We chose the slides, selected the entry and exit music, and other music to be played in-between speeches. Bare organized it perfectly, including the handouts to attendees. Also, since we have many family and friends overseas or who couldn't attend the service, the ability to have the video available for months online was invaluable. But above all, the knowledge, competence, sensitivity and kindness shown to us during this difficult process where we had a funeral within 10 days of my mother's passing was very much appreciated, all with minimal intrusion. I really couldn't recommend them more.

My husband passed away recently and he had prepaid his cremation with Bare Funerals/Cremations. I cannot fault the service I received from the first contact with Bare after he passed to picking up his ashes and receiving the Death Certificate. Bare arranged everything with compassion and sympathy, and gave me all the information i needed. I was allocated a staff member who supported me throughout the process. I would highly recommend Bare Funerals/Cremation company and having it prepaid made it so easy for us, his family.

We are so grateful to the team at Bare Funerals for their care, professionalism, and support during a very difficult time. They made the process of planning a funeral feel manageable and respectful, and we truly appreciated their guidance throughout. A special thank you to Mick Bourke, who led the service with such warmth, humour, and authenticity—it honestly felt like he was one of dad's old mates. The way he spoke to dad, as if he were right there in the front row, brought a sense of comfort and lightness that we will never forget. His delivery was absolutely perfect for us. His words brought comfort, lightness, and even a few smiles, which meant so much to all of us. One moment that really stood out was a beautifully delivered, beer-themed prayer that captured the spirit of dad perfectly. Thank you again to everyone at Bare for helping us create such a meaningful and personal farewell.
