You may have heard that a community of like-minded people is coming together to explore establishing Tender Funerals in the Canberra Region, as a not-for-profit funeral service.
Are you interested in being part of this community discussion?
OUR VISION
Authentic, Affordable, Beautiful Funerals
· Community-minded
· Experienced in the funeral industry
· Welcoming to everyone
· Honest about the costs
OUR VALUES
We would be a community based funeral service offering a caring, compassionate and highly personalised approach to after death care, funeral/celebration arrangements and burial/cremation.
We believe that when someone close dies, people have the right to say goodbye in their own way and that funeral care should be meaningful, authentic, healing and a true reflection of the individual.
This looks different to different people. For some, there is a real need to spend time with their loved one, to bathe and dress them, to sit with them, to talk to them, simply to be close. For others, saying goodbye at the time of death is enough.
Tender Funerals Canberra Region would encourage people to shape the experience in a truly personal way. By selecting specific services and creating a customised plan, we will support people to do as much as they feel comfortable doing and will sensitively assist when required. Most importantly, we would give people the opportunity to say goodbye in a personal, meaningful way.
PROPOSED SERVICES
Tender Funerals Canberra Region would offer an array of services to create a unique experience. The choices would be our customers’ to make, after spending time with them and closely discussing their wishes.
We would provide traditional, alternative or any type of funeral in between.
Our services would include:
· FUNERAL PRE-PLANNING
· POST-DEATH BODY CARE - Options will include care at your home or in our future premises.
· TRANSPORTATION - of your loved one from home or hospital to the place of preparation, celebration + burial.
· VIGILS, CEREMONIES, FUNERALS + CELEBRATIONS
· COFFINS + URNS - Options from our carefully selected catalogue including low cost, environmentally friendly caskets.
· CREMATION + BURIAL ADVICE
PROPOSED PRICING
We believe, a meaningful funeral should be attainable for all community members, regardless of their means.
We would only charge for services provided so people know exactly what the cost is going to be and we can honour their budget.
· TRANSPARENT COSTS
All our services would be itemised + costed in detail on our website.
· DONATING TO A FUNERAL
Loved ones could make a financial contribution via crowd sourcing links on our website.
