TLC Funerals is located at 2-4 Oxford St, Forbes NSW (in the old McFeeters Motor Museum building).

TLC Funerals is a locally owned and family operated funeral service dedicated to help­ing families honour their loved ones with dignity, compassion, and respect. Proudly owned and operated by three sisters, Tami Stewart, Alana Dunn and Krystal Hanley.

Born and raised in Forbes, Tami Stewart said “We have always had a strong con­nection to our community and a shared passion for helping others.

“Growing up together and with our late parents Michael and Brenda Hanley who started and operated their own funeral business also in Forbes taught us the im­portance of compassion, family, and sup­porting people through life’s most difficult moments.

“Bringing our different skills and experi­ences together, we created TLC Funerals to provide personalised, caring, and profes­sional funeral services to families through­out Forbes and the surrounding districts.”

TLC offers complete funeral arrange­ments, cremation and burial services, pre-planning, pre paid funerals, memo­rial services, personalised tributes, flo­ral arrangements, and ongoing guidance throughout the entire process.Thier servic­es are for anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one. “We work closely with each family to create a meaningful farewell that reflects the life, values, and wishes of the person being remembered,” said Tami.

What makes TLC Funerals different is that they are a genuinely local, familyowned business. They understand their community because they are part of it.

Tami, Alana and Krystal’s combined expe­rience allows them to provide professional service while maintaining the personal care that families deserve during difficult times.

“Being locally owned means we’re avail­able when families need us most. We be­lieve every life deserves to be celebrated in a meaningful and respectful way, and we are honoured to support our commu­nity during some of life’s most difficult mo­ments, said Tami.

TLC Funerals offer a 24 hour, 7 day a week service. You can call them on 6852 1250 or email admin@tlcfunerals.com.au

Thousands of landcarers are out in paddocks, parks, coastlines, classrooms, creeks and community spaces doing the work that protects the places and productive landscapes we all rely on.

With just one month remaining until nomi­nations close for the 2026 State and Terri­tory Landcare Awards, Landcare Australia is calling on communities to shine a light on the local people and groups making a real difference to the health of our land, water and environment.

Who in your community deserves recog­nition? It could be: A farmer improving soil health and biodiversity on their property, A volunteer who’s spent years restoring a lo­cal reserve, A landcare, Coastcare, bush­care or rivercare group making a differ­ence, A Traditional Owner or First Nations organisation caring for Country, A teacher inspiring students through environment projects or A young person leading positive change in their community.

From farmers improving soil health and productivity, to volunteers restoring native vegetation, Traditional Owners caring for Country and young people leading envi­

gronmental projects, these are the kinds of everyday efforts that often happen quietly but make a lasting difference to communi­ties and the environment.

It might also be the neighbour who

spends weekends replanting a creek line, the farmer trialling new ways to keep soil healthy, the teacher helping students grow a habitat garden, or the volunteer group that turns up month after month to restore a local reserve.

Many landcarers do this work quietly and consistently, often over many years, so a nomination is a simple but powerful way to say their work matters. The awards celebrate the people helping create a more resilient future for Australia.

Anyone can put forward a nomination.

Nominations close Friday, 31 July 2026.

If there’s someone in your commu­nity who is helping protect landscapes, strengthen local connections and leave the environment in better shape for future gen­erations, now is the time to tell their story.
