Bare Cremation

From the instant I phoned Bare Cremation after my mothers passing, they were kind thoughtful and compassionate. Everything they did was conducted in an orderly manner, ensuring my feelings were the top priority. I cannot thank them enough and would recommend this company and service to anyone who does not wish to proceed with a traditional funeral. Thank You Bare Cremations for making this as stress free as it could be at a difficult time.

From the initial phone call, through every step of the process, to aftercare, I cannot recommend Bare Cremation highly enough. My Mother wanted a simple cremation without a church service or similar, and definitely no fuss. Bare Cremation gave her that. I was able to connect with them via phone and email, and even ask legal questions. Knowing that they also have a legal team if I needed them, was reassuring. The process was simple and there were no hidden fees or charges. Every team member I had contact with was so professional and with just the right amount of care and concern, and I'm very grateful to them all. I will be arranging my own cremation with Bare Cremation shortly.

I found bare creation through a google search, what attracted me instantly was the price and the reviews. I phoned and spoke to a young woman who then directed me to Jason who guided me through the process as my Mum had passed. I was extremely distraught and in some way, Jason with his very kind words and manner helped me to get through this very hard step. The entire service was done in a very professional, extremely caring and straightforward way. I would easily recommend Bare Cremation to anyone who is requiring their service.

Bare Cremation was recommended by family friends and once the decision to use this service was made I felt very reassured that they were the most suitable option to support me in arranging my Mum's funeral.
Bare was not only a better decision for financial reasons but also for personal reassurance and care received during what was a very stressful and unknown life experience.
Bare staff, especially Bronnie Fish and Carmela Calandra were extremely efficient, empathetic and discerning in helping me through unforeseen complications in the process of organising my Mother's funeral.
Please consider this brilliant alternative service for probably what is one of the most overlooked yet most important of all life's occasions.
My humble thanks go to Bare Cremations for providing an invaluable service with tremendous dignity and respect.

Our brother, who lived interstate, recently passed away. A friend suggested we use BARE (as she did when her mother passsed away)...it took a couple of phone calls and BARE did the rest....They were fantastic and we didnt have to worry about a thing. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone to help at such a difficult time. I honestly could not believe how easy the whole process was. PS I am not being paid to post this review, but have to give them 10/10 Antonine A., Melbourne

I was very impressed with the handling of my wife's death recently. You handled everything for me with a high degree of efficiency.
All of the paper work associated with her death was handled with the utmost efficiency.
My son was here to help me but, you answered all the questions associated with such an event.
I have taken the liberty to recommend your service to all I come in contact with including the Lifecare Aldinga facility. They were also very impressed.
Thank you. It made my responsibility much easier.

To be honest, I’m not sure what I think about BARE Cremations. I bought two prepaid cremations in 2020, one for mum and one for myself. We live in Townsville.
Mum passed away on the 19th June about 10.30pm. She was in a Nursing Home. I had given them all BAREs details. When the home rang BARE to report the death, they were told that BARE didn’t service Townsville. Imagine my shock to be told that, just having lost my mum. Four frantic phone calls later, we managed to talk to a lovely lady at BARE who told us she would do what she could for us and would ring us back. About 15 minutes later she rang with the news that she had arranged for a Townsville company to pick mum up from the Nursing Home that night, then the next day BAREs people from Mackay would pick mum up and drive her down to the other side of Brisbane, where she would be cremated and then her ashes would be posted back to us, express post. Mum didn’t get to Brisbane until 23rd June.
This is not what we were expecting. We thought she would be cremated in Townsville and her ashes brought to us, not sent through the post.
If BARE do not service Townsville, why sell the prepaid cremations at all. If they used to but no longer do, why didn’t they inform everyone who has bought prepaid plans already that Townsville, in fact all of North Queensland are no longer serviced by BARE.
Sofie the nice lady we spoke to who arranged things for us was great, very kind and sympathetic.

Our family sadly lost our gorgeous Dad( Husband and Pop) He was very insistent that he wanted a no-fuss- cremation as he wanted us not to get overwhelmed by all the hype of having a fancy funeral.
He was right! we went to Bare as he'd seen the advertisement on TV and thought it was very funny and right up his alley. Bare's website was incredibly easy to navigate and the follow-up from the initial consult was so on point and we were given so much support and understanding. It allowed us to focus on the more important things like celebrating our dad's life and we did this with the family in our own special way- which was so lovely. My dad did, of course, join us in our celebrations in his lovely Urn -which was placed on a table with his favourite bottle of scotch and a photo of himself and mum.
Thank you Bare for making our journey so much easier.
Its gives us a very different perspective of how a funeral should be.

We felt very organized and accomplished when we organized our Prepaid Bare cremations for ourselves in 2021 because we wanted to save our children having to worry about our funerals. I didn’t however, think one of us would have to use it so soon.
I felt fully supported from the very first phone call I had to make to Bare to report my Jacks passing.
Bronnie became my support person in that difficult time , she made me feel as if I wasn’t alone.
I was able to keep our family reassured also, because of Bronnie ringing and keeping me up to date with each and every step along the way.
I definitely recommend Bare Cremations. I know when it’s my turn to use the services, the Bare team will be there to support my family though the process. Thank you Bronnie ❤️

Fantastic Support, Considerate and Caring.
It is different for each family who has someone pass away, In my case my husband of 40 years. Devastated and almost unable to speak, I was blessed with a local contact from Bare who truly cared about what was happening in my life being that he and I were co-dependent . His passing was unexpected and with the help of Bare I was able, with assistance and lots of patience and understanding of the staff to have a Cremation for my husband and we will be able to be scattered together in the future I am very comfortable with the choice and strongly recommend the services of Bare God Bless Them.

We would like to thank all Bare staff for their understanding, sympathy and kindness during our time of grief after my Mother's passing. The communications we regularly received were most helpful and kept us up-to-date with every detail relating to my Mother's cremation. Information received from Bare Law regarding the estate administration process was also very informative and helpful. From the moment we contacted Bare to when my Mother's ashes were delivered, at all times were the staff professional, caring and polite. We would highly recommend Bare to any family who needs help and guidance with the passing of their loved one.

At a very difficult time in my life, I was treated with so much care and kindness by Bare Cremation, particularly by Sarah Stanley, but also by all of the other people who kept me informed about what was going on behind the scenes. I was given all the information I needed to make good decisions and was never pressured or up-sold. Sarah kept in contact with me regularly, letting me know what would happen next and offering her assistance if I needed it. It made a very sad time in my life so much easier than it might otherwise have been.

Bronnie was such a warm and reassuring voice on the phone to deal with. The whole process could not have been simpler - phone calls and emails did the job. Everything went smoothly and according to plan, with the ashes delivered to our home in such a wonderful and tender manner. No-fuss and smooth operation all round. Would absolutely recommend BARE to anyone seeking a quality, low-cost cremation service.

I cannot speak highly enough of the team at Bare Cremation. They are efficient and compassionate and keep you informed every step of the way. My mother passed away in a nursing home and through the whole process we were treated with respect and kindness. Mum's ashes were delivered to my door by an equally caring and lovely lady. I felt very calmed by their professionalism and would absolutely recommend Bare Cremation to anyone who requires this type of service.

From my first phone call to the return of my mothers ashes, the staff at Bare made me feel welcome, at ease and relaxed about the whole process. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they thoroughly explained every step and were there for support anytime they were needed. I highly recommend Bare and can't thank them enough for being there when we needed them.
Thank you
regards

The caring and compassionate way I was treated throughout
my whole experience with Bare after losing my husband to cancer in April. Sarah lead me through the necessary arrangements never trying to push me into more expensive package. I had rung two other funeral directors and got given such pressure to buy expensive services,during the most distressing time of my life. I cannot recommend Bare more highly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤

OMG ! Where do I start. If only we all could deal with a business like this everyday, the world would be a better place. This company is FANTASTIC to deal with and affordable, nothing is a problem for them, they are caring, compassionate and keep you informed from beginning to the very end. I had problems with my fathers doctor not signing off on the death certificate, but that wasn't a problem for BARE, they just kept chasing it up until they received it. Carmela was fantastic to deal with, she was my 'Angel'. I can't thank her enough.

Not everyone believes in big funerals and lots of fuss. My Mother certainly didn't. She was also really conscious of cost and believed, as I do, that money should be spent on life before you die. Rather than a big funeral with a body on display, she wanted to be remembered for her wicked but also really dark sense of humour - not for a fancy coffin. So we will scatter her ashes at a later date when everyone can get together and do what we need to do - be that laugh or cry. Besides doing what my mother actually wanted, for myself as her daughter and her grandson who was close to her, there was a beautiful simplicity in dealing with Bare. Everything was handled with sensitivity because it was a sudden decline and unexpected. And the process is so clear and the staff are awesome. Death is hard enough without a hard sell, so would highly recommend this service for those of us who value that kind of integrity and great service, without pomp and ceremony.

Thank you for the excellent service provided by BARE on the death of my wife, from the original phonecall explaining that my wife would ultimately secumb to the dreadfull MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE.
BARE picked my wife up from the nursing home where she was staying and completed all details required for the cremation including the death certificate.
BARE kept in constant communication whilst carrying on with the funeral.
Well done BARE.

My dad passed away on Easter Saturday and when I rang Bare Funerals Bronnie answered the phone. She was so amazing and caring that she took all the trouble out of what and how to give dad what he wanted. They treated my dads body with respect and love. No matter what troubles I was having with the Funeral Fund people everyone at Bare went out of their way to solve the issues without any pain for me. They are treasures and thanks to them making it so easy. Thanks Brpnnie and Bare Funerals.
