The commitment and support of the Bare team was exactly what I needed after the loss of my Mum. Their support was genuine and the step by step assistance for each specific task made each transition incredibly smooth. Their kindness and willingness helped me through a very difficult time and I am so grateful. Thank you.

Through such a difficult time it was a seamless and heart affirming process dealing with the whole team from Bare. At every step of the way, from my first phone call enquiring about Bare services, to the collection of my Mum from the nursing home and to the ashes being delivered every single person I communicated with was empathetic, professional and simply wonderful. I highly recommend Bare.

Sadly, I had to organise two cremations in four months. At a deeply distressing and difficult time, Bare made the process simple and easy. Being able to organise things online was very convenient while knowing that if I needed help or support, Bare were only a phone call away. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bare.

BARE were very understanding and supportive throughout the process of planning my husbands cremation and memorial service. I was consulted on everything and they guided me through the whole process enabling me to choose flowers, booklets, music, venue, photos etc The resulting memorial service was entirely appropriate in capturing my husbands life story and enabled the family to express their feelings and snapshots of his life. The celebrant recommended by BARE was excellent and visited me at home before the ceremony, as were the BARE staff at the ceremony. The whole process was largely done by phone calls and emails which was my preference and there were no problems along the way. I found BARE to be an economical decision as well as providing an excellent result and recommend them to others.

If i could click 10 stars i would, from the night i found out my father had passed away you helped me with everything. You turned what i was expecting to be a traumatic period in my life into an experience of calmness and order. My family and I can't thank you enough for the way you carried us through the experience and brought us out the other side. Thank you.

After a sudden passing of a loved one we were not sure where or how to start with funeral arrangements. We had heard of BARE and decided to start there. From the very first phone call, we knew these were the people to help us. We were able to choose the type of funeral that suited both our budget and wishes without any upselling pressure. From start to finish there was always someone there to speak with and reach out to whenever we needed support. The dashboard provided clear, up to date progress regarding ashes, the death certificate and timelines ensuring everything was completed in time for the funeral. Our dedicated arranger, Tarah was superb, as were all the other people who helped us along the way. We chose to have a celebrant and she too was exceptional. Many people at the funeral remarked on her compassion. For anyone comparing funeral companies, BARE truly stands out, and we could not recommended them more highly.

Bare Funerals provided exceptional care during a very difficult time. Michelle was absolutely wonderful—kind, compassionate, and incredibly supportive from start to finish. She explained everything clearly, was always available to answer questions, and handled every detail with respect and professionalism. There was no pressure at any point, just genuine care and understanding. The process was simple, transparent, and dignified, which allowed our family to focus on what really mattered. I can’t thank Michelle and the team at Bare Funerals enough. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, honest, and respectful funeral service

I was extremely distressed when my husband of 55years died. My relative suggested Bare Funerals as I was in no state to arrange a funeral and I just wanted to commemorate him later by scattering his ashes at his favourite fishing spot and planting a tree with our sons. Bare was able to provide a cremation and they hand delivered his ashes to me at my home. The whole process was so easy to arrange on-line and each staff member was so considerate and helpful during the process. It was especially helpful when I had a free on-line consultation with a Bare Lawyer in the comfort of my home to guide me through the period of dealing with the legal requirements afterwards. I was extremely grateful for the very low cost compared with other well-known funeral arrangers. It was also important to me to deal with an Australian company rather than a large overseas company. I cant thank and praise Bare Funerals enough for the dignified way they handled the whole process. Joan

At such a stressful and sad time in our lives we were thankful to receive such wonderful, timely and kind service from Bare Funerals. We felt totally heard and supported, and we're never left wondering "what happens next?". Our dedicated person, Elle Watmough, was such discreetly efficient and thoughtful presence on the edges of our journey. I can't say enough about your services which are so well presented - every word, email, every contact felt special and focussed on how we were doing, and moved us seamless through what is, for most people, challenging today the least. Bless you, and thank you.

I lost my son Dan on the 8th December 2024..when you lose a loved one it is a tough time all round let alone trying to handle cremations and which company to go with ..We submitted an application for a quote from Bare Cremations...We received a quote along with all of the information that would be required and how their company works. I was amazed at how professional and caring this company was.Their quote was amazing and the staff were so beautiful to talk to. They understood my grief and advised me of everything they were doing with my son..They delivered his ashes to my door with the most caring gentle hands. I cannot praise this company enough. They made my life so much easier. They delivered his ashes in time for me to get everyone together to do a celebration of Dan's life. I even received a Christmas card again this year saying they remember my son and how much love there is in the life he led. I really want to thank Bare Cremations. Catherine Collins

I can thank Fern enough for her care and compassion when we used Bare for my husband’s funeral arrangements. Fern was fantastic to not only me, but our two boys aged 12 and 15. She made a difficult, emotional process just that bit easier. The staff member when attending the viewing was equally as compassionate and really helpful. Bare’s app was simple to use, giving me updates, prompts and letting me know where processes were at and it was easy putting together a tribute page for my husband so family and friends could leave a comment and share their photos. I’m so grateful to the team at Bare.

During one of the most difficult times in our lives, Bare was there providing comfort, compassion, and professionalism beyond our expectations. From the first phone call, their team with our main contact - Jess, guided us through every step with patience, compassion and understanding, making sure all our wishes were respected. Our dad's funeral service was beautifully arranged, with thoughtful touches that truly honoured his memory. We are deeply grateful for their kindness, respect, compassion and dignity they brought to the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend Bare and their wonderful team to any family in need of caring support, during a difficult time.

We just wanted to say how grateful we were to Bare Funerals and especially to our funeral arranger Tim for assisting us in our time of need. He was so helpful, accessible, accommodating, and caring not only to the needs of our dear departed mother but also to us as a family in our time of grief. All the staff at Bare without exception who played a part in our journey, from the very first time we contacted Bare to find out what they provide, right through the collection, preparation, organisation of and finalisation of her cremation was seamless. The online administration tasks were easy to complete, and we were kept informed at all points along the way. Throughout, all demonstrated great care, compassion and attention - listening, providing guidance, and going out of their ways to assist as we bid farewell to Mary, our mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great grandmother. Thank you so much Bare Funerals for your care and compassion in our time of need - we cannot speak more highly of the service and support you provided us.

Right from the first call we made to Bare when dad was still in his end of life journey, Bare provided a genuine care and support when it really mattered. Everyone we spoke to was primarily concerned with supporting us, then taking care of the things which needed to be organised. The website was easy to use and the provision of updates and information when it mattered was outstanding. I loved that Bare did the contacting of the various organisations to take care of the admin side of things, which took a huge burden off mum and our family. The price was amazing and the service (including after event contacts) has been awesome.

I cannot recommend Bare highly enough. They were an absolute godsend when my mum passed away unexpectedly in September 2025, and we had no plans in place. From my very first contact, they were superb in so many ways. My initial call with Emily immediately cheered me up during such an emotional time. She was empathetic, communicated beautifully, and clearly expressed all the positive aspects of their service. The entire process was incredibly well-organised and structured. I loved how easy their website and the accompanying helpful checklist were to use—it really simplified things when we were feeling overwhelmed. Bare made the whole process super, super easy and stress-free. To find such a wonderful organisation that offers great service and very affordable funerals is a true relief. I would definitely recommend Bare to anyone navigating the loss of a loved one. Thank you so much to the whole team, especially Emily!

My mother first saw BARE Funerals advertised on T.V. - After googling BARE's five-star reviews, my family and I decided to contact them, in regard to the passing of our dearly departed and beloved Grandma, for her funeral arrangements. Our funeral arranger, Jessica Garner was very empathetic and offered support throughout the entire process, without any hesitation. Jessica's warm and comforting presence made the process a little less overwhelming and a little less stressful. Every question and enquiry was handled delicately, promptly and precisely. BARE's online process was easy to navigate and use with their online dashboard. The online dashboard gives you step-by-step updates, where you can manage tasks, access a range of support and stay updated on the status of your loved one's arrangement. There was no upfront payment required, or hidden fees. The costs were fairly priced, and invoiced/totaled at the completion of the service. My family and I would like to personally thank Jessica Garner and the BARE team for their commitment to excellence in customer care and service. BARE lives up to their Moto "Hard, made easier." - making one of the hardest times of life that little bit easier, and making goodbyes simpler, more personalised and way more affordable for all Australians. We wish BARE, and their colleagues every happiness and continued success.

I have so many wonderful things to say about my experiece with Bare during one of the most terrible times I've been through. Before my father in law died he gave me the details of Bare and told me to use them when he passed. We were concerned that he had picked Bare just because he did not want us to have to contribute large amounts of money to look after him when the time came because when we looked at packages with other companies there were huge differences. But we decided to honour his wishes and I fully expected that we would need to just accept that we were going with what I thought was the "budget model". I was so very wrong. We did save a lot of money going with Bare, but we also got excellent service and care throughout the whole process. They made every difficult day, every difficult decision easier. Becc from their team was assigned to us from the very beginning and she was so very kind and patient. She checked in on us regularly just to see how we were feeling, gave us regular updates on what was happening logistically, talked to me about what I needed to do now, soon, later and then helped me through each step continually asking how she could help us on that particular day. There were text messages, phone calls (when it was suitable for me), emails, a dashboard I could log into whenever I had the energy to go in which was updated all of the time with what was happening. This care and attention was all given before I paid anything. It was just how they operated. I am so genuinely thankful and impressed by Bare, I will be most definately giving others in the future around me their details with confidence to help them through losing a loved one.

I can't thank Bare Funerals enough for the care and compassion they showed during the most difficult time of my life saying goodbye to my partner, Damon. From the first moment, they treated Damon and our family with such dignity, warmth, and understanding. Every detail of the service was handled with kindness and respect, and it truly reflected the person Damon was - loving, gentle, and deeply cared for by everyone who knew him. Our son Jason and I are so grateful for the support we received, and for helping us create a farewell that was both beautiful and meaningful. Thank you for making sure Damon's memory was honoured exactly the way he deserved. And thank you for bringing Damon home to be with his family.

My experience saying goodbye to my Dad with Bare Funerals and Cremations was exceptional. From the very beginning, every member of the Bare team I spoke with was compassionate, understanding, helpful and incredibly efficient. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for Dad’s Memorial Service. The whole process felt supportive, personal and was tailored to the way we wanted to celebrate his life. Their website was also an invaluable tool, full of clear and relevant information, with each step laid out on a simple timeline. It was always updated so I knew exactly where we were in the process and the checklist for next steps (like managing the estate) was a huge help at such a difficult time, especially if it is your first time having to do this kind of thing. The pricing is very reasonable, with flexible package options to suit different needs and budgets. Dad’s Memorial Service itself was so special. It was heartfelt, unique and filled with beautiful energy. Everyone who attended said it was the most meaningful service they’d ever been to. It’s exactly the kind of farewell I’d want for myself one day. Bare have truly transformed this industry, making a sad and difficult time easier, less stressful and so much more personal. They think of everything and ensure you feel supported every step of the way. I cannot recommend Bare Funerals and Cremations highly enough. Choosing them for my Dad was the best decision and I’ll be forever grateful.

I always planned to use Bare for my Mother-in-Law who was dying of Stage 4 cancer. Despite having a long time to prepare mentally, it was still a shock when she left us. Bare were so easy to deal with. They were quick, efficient and compassionate throughout. They took care of things I didn't realise they would such as advising Centrelink and they got us the Death Certificate in just 2 weeks. Bare were great to deal with and I would/will use them again . Their online dashboard makes everything clear and easy but they also communicate through email and on the phone if that's what you need or prefer.

I could never call an experience in these circumstances “great”, but I felt I was always dealt with care and compassion. The voices on the phone were always friendly and kind; I was never kept waiting; all my queries were attended to in a timely and efficient manner; and after my first contact my calls were met with recognition. I never felt like ‘yet another annoying client’. For all of that I was extremely grateful, given the state of distress I was in. Everything was made easy for me, and I never felt tension or stress when it was necessary for me to call you.
