This Thursday, we're looking forward to meeting everyone at this event run by SALT Directory and LDK Seniors' Living. We'll have a table, ready to answer any of your questions about meaningful and affordable funerals, as well as how positive the planning experience can be. And you can enjoy the other stallholders as well as the panels with a range of speakers on everything from legal matters, down-sizing, supported living options and more. (Plus the LDK cafe is really good 🙂 ). It's free to attend, so come and have a chat.

There’s plenty to discover when it comes to ageing well.

We are delighted to have our new piece of art with heart in our foyer. The moment we saw these Canberra bus stop lights from North/South we knew we needed one. What better way to know you're part of the Canberra community than to be welcomed by the familiar and comforting sight of a Canberra classic, gently glowing?

In 2018, Richard Fidler interviewed Tender Funerals founder, Jenny Briscoe-Hough for ABC Conversations. Today, it was rereleased as an encore episode. Jenny has been the most wonderful mentor, friend and support to the Tender Canberra team as we have established ourselves (and is also merciless when it comes to snaffling good bargains on Marketplace for stylish additions to our decor!) Jenny shares her touching and inspiring story, both about starting Tender and so many other things from her life, and we thank her for it. If you have not heard this wonderful episode, please do add it to your playlist.
