shred is already available, open a terminal

Code:

man shred

also

Code:

shred --help

If you want to create a custom action in Thunar, I found this:

In Thunar, open "Edit" then "Configure Custom Actions"
Add (the plus sign)
Name "Shred File"
Description whatever you like
Action "shred -u %f"
Select "Appearance Conditions" and select "Other Files"

If you want to use "srm" then replace "shred -u %f" with "srm %f" in the example above.
You may/will need to install secure-delete(srm)

Code:

sudo apt-get install secure-delete

This was the comment also noted on "srm"
srm – secure remove
This tool is basically a more advanced version of the “shred” command. Instead of just overwriting your files with random data,
it uses a special process – a combination of random data, zeros, and special values developed by cryptographer Peter Gutmann
– to really, really make sure your files are irrecoverable.
