When my father passed away earlier in the year we were faced with many options for cremation, many of them quite expensive. My elderly mother had attended many recently and was not looking forward to hosting the usual crematorium send off. A family member suggested Bare and we reached out. The staff were all wonderful. Supportive and understanding although we never met in person. Tim was amazing and made the experience much less stressful than we were anticipating. The first person we met in real life was Susie who delivered his ashes to the house and she was so warm and caring. We were able to have a wonderful celebration of life at my father’s favorite club, hosting around 200 friends and family. This would not have been possible if we had gone with one of the more expensive cremation options.

I was extremely happy with the support that Bare provided to me and my family when my mother passed away. Their support involved a combination of clear and accessible information about their services through the online portal and a compassionate and empathetic approach to service delivery on the part of the Bare personnel. I was particularly grateful for the way in which Bare communicated personally with me and supported me throughout the process. It was both a relief and a pleasure to deal with Bare.

I've completed my business with these nice people. Such a contrast to any important dealings I've had with any group about my worries lately. Thank you. I'm a 'card carrying' member of the BARE family and I'm glad of it!

On previous occasions, my family has engaged with other funeral companies who were quite expensive! On this occasion, I engaged with Bare Funerals. Their prices are very affordable. I encourage you to compare prices with other companies. Heidi and her team were absolute professionals. Personable, friendly and the process was simple. Everything is online and easy to access. I am already recommending Bare Funerals to family and friends. Thank you to everyone on the team, including the founders. Well done for making a difficult time a little bit easier when it comes to the formality of losing someone. - Tanya

My dealings with Bare occurred during the saddest period of my life. Fortunately, Bare had the right people and processes in place that ensured their people were able to empathise with my situation. An important thing for me during this period was the ability of Bare representatives to treat my wife with the level of dignity and respect that eased my mind through the whole process. For anyone who may be going through this painful period I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Bare service. The individuals who dealt with me were wonderful and kept me informed from the beginning and beyond the service and return of my wife when all was completed. Since then I have received follow-up contact from Bare to ensure that any support I personally needed was readily available. Thankyou Bare.

Would highly recommend Bare, they were always so supportive and professional. It was amazing how they organised everything, the flowers, the chapel at the Cemetery, organising the minister and paying him, the movie presentation (perfect, the way they used the pictures to match the music, everyone commented how impressive it was) and the printing of the booklet and handing them out. Nothing was too much trouble from the organisation of the funeral to the day of the funeral. So easy to organise every detail via the link they send you. If I had any questions, they were promptly answered by Kristal with kindness. The follow up phone calls to check how we were after my mother's death was very reassuring. Our family were so impressed by Bare that we are now using their legal team to finalise my mother's estate.

My father passed away quite quickly, and we weren't prepared for what needed to happen at that time. A phone call to Bare and they took care of everything and stay in contact with the family the entire time. I dropped off some letters to be placed with my dad, and it was no problem. They were so caring and knowing that such caring people were taking care of him helped. We were provided with a page that we could customise for his funeral details, and this was very helpful, especially with the option for people to be able to rsvp that helped with the planning of his Celebration of Life. Every person that we spoke to was very professional but also caring, it is a very difficult time and to have them take care of my dad was comforting.

I actually stalled choosing a funeral home to cremate my young brother. I was so traumatised I dreaded having to deal with it, but I was drawn to Bare and praise the Lord, I chose them. My mothers funeral was clinical and distant, but the Bare staff and their wonderful Celebrant made us feel like family. We even got beautiful warm hugs. All I can say is, if in doubt, choose Bare. You will never be sorry. And they're truly affordable.

After being confronted by my wife’s sudden passing and experiencing the sadness and despair that came with it, I knew I needed to organise her funeral service. I wanted something different for her final Journey leaving from our home. I remembered the BARE commercial and made contact via the website. The team were quick to respond and amazing from the initial contact through all the organisation. Jess was my funeral arranger and Mae was the digital designer. Both professional yet compassionate and they were able to guide me as I explained what I wanted. They were clear with instructions, provided a checklist with time lines. The digital dashboard, the tribute page and the photo slideshows. It was so good and it all made an extremely sad process flow seamlessly. Tim did the tech on the day and Paul organised the livestream with numerous cameras and presented me with a recorded copy afterwards. I would recommend the team at BARE to anyone confronted with this same loss I experienced. It won’t bring your loved one back but it made the final journey a memory I’ll forever cherish.

I called Bare to bury my mother.. first funeral I ever had to organise. I cried, I changed my mind on a few details, they were amazing and the service was very beautiful. I rang a few times and Sam your voice whilst waiting on hold was very sincere.

After losing my grandmother on 15th February this yaar,we did a few ring around in pricing and I could not believe the difference in prices. Bare was at least $1,000,$2,000 cheaper. When I had organised with bare to do my grandmother cremation,they were so kind and considerate. Helping with every step along the way,Receiving phone calls to see how I was coping,and explained each step they were doing. Even to this day which he nearly 2 months I still get phone calls to see how I am going. I’m so greatly appreciated of their time and effort they put in to help love ones in such a Difficult time.

Bare was just what we needed in a time of need. It can be difficult when you are reeling with grief and emotion and not quite knowing how to go about things for a loved one. Bare offered exactly what my Dad would have wanted. No more, no less. And for me, as the arranger absolutely the same. No pesky sales in suits grasping at your grief to lure you to waste on what you dont need or really want. The online platform, the before, during and after service, tips and checklists, along realistic pricing, was spot on. GO Bare Team, thank you!

We have just bid farewell to my father on Thursday and from the very first moment I spoke with Bronwyn the concierge, I felt at ease trying to navigate the process and grieve and function all at the same time. Kristal my arranger was beautiful and caring and calm, and no question was too small to answer. The service was beyond expectations and the family were overwhelmed with how beautiful and also the care that BARE took on the day for the family was outstanding. Our celebrant Maureen Thorpe was the perfect choice and would highly recommend BARE to anyone not just for price but for quality of service and for truly caring when it counts, thank you 🙏

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the bottom of our hearts, our family would like to say a huge thank you to the entire team at **Bare Funerals**. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, the care, compassion and professionalism shown to us was truly extraordinary. From the very first phone call through to the memorial service itself, everything was handled with such kindness, dignity and respect. Losing a loved one is overwhelming, and there are so many decisions and emotions to navigate. The team made what could have been a very stressful process feel calm, supported and manageable every step of the way. A very special thank you to **Amanda** and **Kelly**. Both of you were absolutely incredible. Your compassion, patience and genuine care meant so much to our family. You always took the time to explain everything clearly, answer every question we had, and reassure us that everything would be taken care of. Nothing ever felt rushed or transactional — it always felt personal and heartfelt. One thing that meant so much to me personally was the way you handled my dad and kept me updated throughout the entire process. At such a sensitive time, knowing he was being looked after with dignity and respect brought a huge sense of comfort. Those updates, the communication, and the transparency helped us feel connected and reassured during a very emotional period. I would also like to thank the wonderful team who looked after us on the day of the memorial. Every person involved was so respectful, professional and caring. They ensured everything ran smoothly and supported our family with such warmth and understanding. It allowed us to focus on remembering and honouring Dad without worrying about any of the logistics. The service itself was handled beautifully and with such grace. Every detail felt thoughtful and respectful, and it gave our family the space to celebrate Dad’s life in a meaningful way. What stood out most throughout this entire experience was the genuine compassion shown by everyone at Bare Funerals. It is clear that this is not just a job for you — you truly care about the families you support and the people you are helping honour. During such a heartbreaking time, having a team that shows such humanity, kindness and professionalism makes an enormous difference. Our family will always be grateful for the way you cared for Dad and supported us from beginning to end. Thank you to Amanda, Kelly, and the entire Bare Funerals team for everything you did for our family. We will never forget the care and dignity you showed during this time. We would absolutely recommend Bare Funerals to anyone who is looking for compassionate, respectful and truly outstanding service.

I have nothing but praise for Bare. Not only were they respectful sympathetic and showed empathy they made the process so painless. They with me the whole journey respecting my requests and nothing was too much. I never felt pressured and could take as long as I like to make decsions and were always there if I had a question and they didn't worry if I changed my mind. I just felt so supported not only with the arrangements but with other issues such as Centrelink which they took care of which was a load off my mind at that stage. And a big thank you to Tim who was wonderful

My mum died recently in Taree NSW after a late diagnosis of terminal brain cancer. Brodey and his team stepped in and took great care in stepping me through the process and keeping me in the loop at all times. Kelley, the funeral director, was outstanding - her kindness and skill made a very difficult time for me much easier. Thanks Brodey, Kelly and the Bare team.

Bare Funerals & Cremations were so comforting & helpful from my first point of contact when my brother passed 😢 They respectfully took the reins & guided me ever so compassionately & were always available by phone & email. They stayed in constant contact reaching out with every step along the way informing me of everything that was going to happen before it happened & ensuring I was ok & if I had any questions/concerns. I cannot recommend Bare highly enough...thankyou Bare for your care during a devastating time 🙏

I would like to sincerely acknowledge and express my deep gratitude for the exceptional care and support provided by Elle during one of the most difficult times in my life. From the very beginning, Elle demonstrated remarkable compassion, empathy, and professionalism while assisting with the care of my mum and supporting me through my grief. Throughout the entire process, Elle made what could have been an overwhelming and distressing experience feel seamless and manageable. Her calm and reassuring approach removed much of the stress and uncertainty, which was invaluable while I was in such a vulnerable emotional state. Elle was consistently kind, patient, and understanding, particularly during our conversations when I found it difficult to hold myself together. She allowed me the space to process my emotions while gently guiding me through the necessary steps. Her thoughtful follow-up emails and genuine check-ins meant more than I can adequately express, they restored a sense of faith in humanity and showed how much of a positive impact a caring individual can have, even as a stranger. I would also like to recognise the wider team, all of whom I found to be equally supportive, respectful, and compassionate in every interaction. The dignity and care shown in returning my mum into my care will never be forgotten. This organisation has demonstrated an exceptional standard of service, allowing me to focus on grieving and honouring my mum without the added burden of navigating complex formalities. I am truly grateful for the kindness and professionalism shown throughout. Thankyou Elle & Bare
