“I don't think words could express how much Bare helped me in the most difficult time I have faced in life. The open communication was incredibly helpful. The care and compassion that Michelle had reminded me of my mum and I looked forward to hearing from her. It is honestly no wonder that Bare are so highly regarded and I would recommend them to literally everyone going through this. You will not be disappointed.”
“We recently entrusted Bare Funerals with the care of our dearly departed David and were very impressed by their professionalism, compassion and efficiency from the very first phone call.
Our dedicated Arranger, Claire, took care of everything with genuine empathy, even going above and beyond to assist with an unrelated travel refund. Bare's online dashboard kept us informed throughout the process and made it easy to manage arrangements and create a tribute page for family and friends.
The entire experience was seamless and reassuring during a time of great sadness. We are extremely grateful to Claire and the Bare team and would have no hesitation in recommending their services.”
“Bare for us stands for Basic and very human with no pretention. Caring and prompt communication with all questions and concerns answered.Ashes delivered to our door which we scattered in a circle around a tall gum tree with our own plaque inserted in the tree.Nothing but personal care and concern the whole time.We are very grateful.”
“The decision to use Bare was made by the family and I following my wife's death.
We had also agree in coming to that decision what kind of funeral we would like.
A local venue,celebrant,coffin present,live streaming,cremation following the service and a date and time that was suitable for all the family.
Our Bare arranger then proceeded to ensure that we did indeed get the funeral we had asked for.
For my family and I being able to do all this from the comfort of our family home made this sad occasion feel somewhat less so.”
“They are excellent, they take the worry out of it and handle everything for you plus keeping you up to date I certainly have nothing but good things to day about Bare and I would recommend them and have done so. Thank you Bare for caring đ”
“Our family were very impressed by Bare, genuine and thoughtful in every way. The journey was simple and we felt supported throughout. Having a âdashboardâ was a great tool enabling us to see the stages of the process to completion.”
“We are so grateful to Bare for the care, compassion and ease of mums arrangements during this hard time. I cannot reccomend them highly enough. Having a prepaid arrangement in place made things so simple.”
“This is the 2nd time my family has used Bare and we have been happy with the service. If you want things simplified then use Bare, the portal was helpful to see where things were at and the staff communicated by text and confirmed things when i needed it. Would recommend them if you need assistance in this area.”
“The team at Bare were nothing short of excellent when my partner passed away recently. Between juggling lawyers, superannuation funds and various other service providers, Bare was a standout for their care, empathy and communication throughout the process. Highly, highly recommended.”
“Itâs difficult enough to lose someone significant in your life, itâs harder still to prepare a funeral to honour that very special life. This task is handled so brilliantly by BARE. They set up a dashboard page that you can access on your computer so that you can see your to-do list at a glance. Itâs great for you during a time when you donât feel like engaging with people. But this company hasnât done away with human interaction completely, you can actually speak to a very lovely person, who is honestly an angel on earth, who will listen to you. And do their best to honestly hear you. Every person I interacted with was so respectful and patient. They let me cry unashamedly. BARE also provides help and advice on settling the estate, getting death certificates, informing important organizations, etc. You can still engage with them after the funeral. Speaking of which, my lovely husband was able to be honoured at our church with his favorite music and a slideshow. Bare helped us to keep the price reasonable and my husbandâs ceremony was beautiful. My husband was cremated and I chose to pick up his ashes and the lovely woman who assisted me was so incredible. In closing I want to personally say thank you to Fern, Stephanie, Nat, Nate, Grace and Sam (you are the co-founder of something great). God bless you all for walking beside me.”
“Mady and the team were such wonderful allies for my family and I during this difficult time. We felt fully held and supported through every step of the process. Mady made herself completely available to us, and was such a compassionate and caring support, checking in on us in ways that felt above and beyond what the process would typically require. Having the dashboard component online to prompt us for what was needed on our end, collate all the documents, and to update us on what phase of the process we were in was also really helpful. Highly recommended. Thank you so much!”
“I found Bare to be very professional and understanding through the whole process. As this was my first experience organising a cremation for a loved one, Claire kindly helped me navigate it all with clear communication. I found the portal easy to navigate and very helpful.
I would highly recommend Bare, I felt like I was treated as a person and not just another customer. Even when it came time to collect Dad's ashes, the lovely lady, (sorry forgot your name), was very kind and supportive.”
“The staff are extremely comforting. They communicate all the time providing regular updates either over the phone or via email.
The pricing details were provided early and you are given options to include or exclude.
The only thing was filling in the details, it became quite tedious and so we guessed a lot of answers, to our detriment. We then had to correct the inaccuracies as the information is needed to for the death certificate.
Thank you Bare, you are highly recommended by us”
“Bare were absolutely amazing with assisting us with both my parents passing. The way everything was handled with grace, patience and ease was beyond helpful during our time of need. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.”
“Bare Funerals take care of everything for you. They truly are so caring n respectful. I love the way they bow down to yr dearly beloved it's so beautiful n respectful. Thank you everyone at Bare Funerals esp Jilll n Rebecca. đ”
“I was very happy and pleased with how my Arranger
Heidi and all the other Bare team members handled and arranged everything for my Dads viewing and funeral service. It was the perfect send of for my Dad and Iâm very grateful for everything the team did to make that happen thank you very much I really appreciate.”
“When my father passed away unexpectedly, Bare was recommended to us by a family friend. From the initial phone call, and throughout the whole process, there was empathy, support, and care.
âOur funeral arranger, Emma, helped me to navigate the practical side of his loss with compassion and sensitivity, making a difficult process much easier.
âOn behalf of my family, and myself, I want to share my gratitude to Emma and Bare for taking care of my father with dignity and respect.”
“After contacting a couple of local funeral homes my 93 yr old dad didnât feel comfortable so we contacted Bare from the first phone call the family felt at ease. The team guided us through a difficult time nothing was to hard our questions were taken seriously with genuine compassion. The day we collected the ashes they didnât rush us out the door they sat with dad a talk about his 72 yrs of marriage to mum when we left dad looked at me and said use Bare for me please.”
