We are looking for sewers to stitch items like modesty cloths, bags to return personal items to families and more. We have super simple, medium and more challenging projects available. If you've wanted to help but haven't been able to come in, this is the perfect thing to do from home. Call 6171 6229 or email canberra@tenderfunerals.com.au to learn more. Thanks!

Do you have an Android device you don't need any more? We'd love some for our family rooms so families can stream whatever music or sound they'd like straight to our speakers. They don't have to be fancy; as long as YouTube Music and Spotify will work, we'll be delighted. If you have one, please phone, email or DM. Thank you!

Pets need to say goodbye, too.
Recently, we supported John’s family to create a funeral for him. Before the funeral, they shared that John’s dogs had been very unsettled since his death. Jo invited them to bring the dogs to spend time with John and the family reported it made a huge difference. The family were keen to share the benefit this experience had, so we invited Pixie, Twinkle and Yuki back to pose with the John’s coffin when it arrived.

The dogs are even the right colours for a Tigers fan!

Thank you to Sallyann and Ann for sharing this.

A session for Death Doulas & Celebrants to learn more about the Tender Model and how we can support you to achieve meaningful, affordable funerals for the families you service, whether they use Tender as a funeral director or not. You are welcome to join us for one or both sessions.

Join our team for a discussion on ceremony, death care at home, supporting families with DIY options and more.

There'll be plenty of time for questions and for you to share what's important for you to be able to do your work. We're looking forward to meeting new faces and learning from you as well.
