After more than a century of service, Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Service continue the strong tradition of community support while providing quality care for families in their time of need.
The company’s history dates back to the 1890s, and over the years Tuckers has grown from a small father and son operation into a company that now employs more than 40 local staff, bringing quality funeral care to the region.
Reaching many organisations throughout Geelong, Tuckers community support has seen more than 80 local groups receive support in the past financial year. This support is through various sponsorships, donations and initiatives driven by the team at Tuckers.
“We have always been a community-minded company, it is an important tradition we are proud to continue,” says Tuckers General Manager Andrew Kors. “Investing in our local communities, we get involved by participating in events, sponsorships and donations – giving back to the community we live in.”
Tuckers partner to support health and well-being services such as Barwon Health, St Laurence, and Diversitat. Arts and cultural events are also supported through sponsorships with GPAC, The Geelong Art Gallery, Pako Festa and the Geelong Show to name a few. Many smaller community groups also benefit such as sporting clubs, neighbourhood houses and local service groups.
“In conjunction with various donations and sponsorships, we encourage our team to contribute, our people are part of the community and are serving on community boards and committees,” says Andrew. “It’s more than a social obligation, it’s who we are.”
