Italian Funeral Brand Taffo Renames Itself Tanuba to Support International Expansion

Executives describe the rename as an evolution meant to preserve the brand’s distinctive, community‑driven voice.

Overview

  • Leadership positions the rebrand as a way to consolidate an identity built through years of ironic, unconventional communication.
  • Tanuba blends the names Taffo and Anubis, invoking funerary symbolism to create a label designed to be more universally legible outside Italy.
  • The company plans to expand abroad while maintaining its established presence across Italy under a centralized franchise model.
  • The group reports more than 40 locations nationwide and annual turnover of about €15–16 million based on company figures shared with the press.
  • A community-selected mascot—a small coffin in jacket and tie—will accompany the rollout of the new identity.
