Tender Funerals 2021 Year in Review
In 2021 Tender Funerals Australia and the Tender Funerals Network achieved some significant milestones. We saw Tender Funerals Illawarra and Sydney celebrate its fifth birthday and construction start on our first replication on the NSW Mid North Coast. We finalised our unique social franchising agreement. We formed a strong and skilled team at Tender Funerals Australia to support and grow the Network. And our sites in development – in Canberra, Far North Queensland, Perth and Tasmania – all made strong progress in their journeys towards start-up.
