We’ve placed families, not funeral parlours, at the heart of Bare.

Bare is a full-service funeral director - just without the formality and time pressure of a funeral home. Using Bare means:
  • Planning arrangements online or over the phone, in your home at your own pace.
  • No physical parlours reduces our costs, saves you money and means we can hold services in most locations.
  • No upfront costs, no hidden fees and transparent pricing.
  • Flexible services, more venue options and easy online personalisation. 
  • Ongoing aftercare including grief, admin, legal and legacy support.
  • We’ll never force you into a funeral if a direct cremation is a better fit.
  • Planning arrangements in a funeral parlour, out of your comfort zone.
  • Parlour-led business models that have big overheads and rely on expensive funerals.
  • Complicated pricing and paying up to 70% upfront to arrange a service.
  • Cookie cutter services that follow a parlour’s traditional format.
  • Support that ends with the funeral.
  • Being pushed into a funeral instead of listening to your needs.
You’ll never be forced into a funeral service if a simple direct cremation or unattended burial is best for you.
Our arrangers will work with you over the phone, via video call or online while you stay in the comfort of your home.
You have the option to hold almost any type of service, in almost any location, with our team there running everything on the day.
Bare can offer more affordable services, as we don’t have the overheads of a brick-and-mortar parlour.

With Bare, you can also rest assured knowing that...
