Our Services

 

Tender Funerals is centred in community and recognises that individuals and their communities are unique. Our network is set up by communities to cater to the nuanced and diverse needs of their communities. Thus we have created a not-for-profit social franchise  model that can cater to these diverse needs. Our social franchise model is unique. We support communities around Australia to establish and operate not-for-profit Tender Funerals services that are owned and operated by their local community. They are independently incorporated with their own Board of Directors.

With this focus on local community ownership, Tender Funerals Australia only takes new site requests from community members’ expression of interests. It is important that the local community is involved at every step of establishing, owning, and operating their own service.

Tender Funerals Australia is now supporting 2 operational service sites and 11 service sites in development.
