Growing to Meet the Needs of Our Community 🌻

As more families discover and choose Tender, we're continuing to evolve our site to ensure we can provide the meaningful, person-centred care our community deserves. Recent renovations are helping us create more space and improve the way we support families, both now and into the future.

At Tender, functionality is only part of the story. We believe the spaces where people gather, care, grieve, and say goodbye should also be beautiful, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. That's why every change we make is guided by both practical needs and our commitment to creating spaces that feel calm, dignified, and human.

We're excited to share how our mortuary space is being reimagined, both practically and aesthetically.

At Tender Funeral’s kindness is our compass in everything we do.

MEET THE TENDER MID NORTH COAST TEAM

Shenae Willis - Administrator

After nearly 10 years in the corporate world and relocating to the beautiful Mid North Coast, Shenae was looking for a role where she could give back to the community and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. She found herself taking an unexpected path into the funeral industry as an Operations Supervisor, where she developed a strong appreciation for the work that goes on behind the scenes and the importance of providing compassionate, reliable support to families.

Through building relationships with the team at Tender, she discovered a shared commitment to community, genuine care and supporting families. She enjoys working behind the scenes to help keep things running smoothly, while also providing guidance when needed.

Tender has given Shenae the opportunity to work alongside like-minded, passionate people who genuinely care about the families they support and the difference they make in the community.
