Tender Funerals were great to deal with from the initial enquiry to the end of the service. They were very well organised. The initial meeting with Aimee went really smoothly. Everything was explained and the service was excellent. Rod did a great job as the Celebrant. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Not only were they the most affordable, they were provided exceptional service from the first contact. You cannot get any better than Tender Funerals AAA+++

We can’t speak highly enough of Tender Funerals! We had to organise a family member’s repatriation to New Zealand and the team at Tender has gone above and beyond helping us with everything! Not to mention how much better value for money, by far the cheapest quote we got and it ended up being cheaper than that again! Thank you so much for everything you have done for our family, we highly appreciate it and will forever be thankful! 🤎
