Sam, Co-Founder.

Hi, I'm
Sam McConkey.

After experiencing first-hand the cost and complexity of funerals, I started Bare with my close friend, Cale. Our mission today is the same as it was from the very beginning: to change the way we deal with death by making funerals simpler, more affordable and less stressful for all Australians.

Every time a family trusts Bare to care for their loved one, we're reminded of the responsibility that comes with it. It's something we never take lightly, and there's nothing more rewarding than knowing we've made one of the hardest times in someone's life just a little easier. I also feel incredibly fortunate to work alongside more than 100 people who share the same purpose and genuinely care about the families we support. They're the reason coming to work every day is so fulfilling.

When I'm not at work, I have three young kids, so these days I'm mostly their taxi driver, personal chef and general entertainer.

Sam, Co-Founder.
