Garden Village Partners with Tender Funerals Mid North Coast
Garden Village has partnered with Tender Funerals Mid North Coast to support our community in planning for end-of-life care, grief and connection services.
Tender Funerals provides holistic death care and practical information to help families navigate one of life’s most significant moments. Their approach ensures funerals are meaningful, authentic and affordable.
As a not-for-profit community organisation, Tender Funerals believes everyone should have access to dignified funeral care without financial stress. The average cost of a Tender Funeral ranges from $3,900 to $6,900, depending on the services and products chosen.
At Garden Village we share Tender’s belief in community care and compassion. Our partnership supports residents, families and the broader community to make informed choices about end-of-life planning and support.
Residents or families interested in arranging a Tender Consultation can contact Tender Funerals and mention Garden Village.

A Growing Partnership
Garden Village has previously partnered with Tender Funerals to bring valuable information to residents and the wider community. Tender Funerals Founder Denis Juelicher and General Manager Sam Clowes attended the Garden Village Seniors Festival, sharing their knowledge on end-of-life care and planning with informative talks and infosessions.

Whether caring for a loved one or planning for yourself, the partnership will help people make sense of their next chapter and find support locally.
“Garden Village is pleased to formalise our partnership with Tender Funerals to enrich people’s knowledge about holistic services for end of life care on the Mid North Coast. We are also able to support the Tender community with information on navigating My Aged Care and Home Care Services, Palliative Care and Residential Aged Care,” said Craig Wearne, CEO of Garden Village.
Community Memorial Picnic
Residents and the community are invited to attend the Tender Funerals Community Memorial Picnic in Port Macquarie on Saturday 25 October, starting at 12pm. This free community event will include a short ceremony, live music, and creative activities for all ages, followed by a shared picnic. Information about local bereavement support services will also be available. You don’t need to have used Tender Funerals to attend.
