Community & Family
“The inhabitants of Brisbane and surrounding districts are respectfully informed that the long established business so successfully carried on by the late John Smith, as Undertaker, will in future be carried on by his Widow”.
This was K.M. Smiths’ first sharing of ‘News & Events’ with the community on 5th June, 1886, when Kate Mary Smith submitted an ‘Undertaker’s Notice’ in The Brisbane Courier. We respectfully continue to share our news and event items with the Brisbane community today…
Anzac Day 2025 marks the 110th Anniversary of Australian and New Zealand's sons, fathers and grandfathers creating with courage, blood and tears the ANZAC legend. We remember them and the immeasurable sacrifice they made - never forgotten.

Very beautiful
This Easter we have a beautiful story to share with you about a rare, well-loved bunny from last century (pictured), that came into our care with her lifetime owner, Marjorie. Often families place special items with their loved ones and Marjorie's family chose something we had not come across before. They have kindly given permission to share the photos we took of Bunny and their memories...
“We absolutely love the photo taken of Mum’s bunny perched regally on top of the (K.M.Smith historical) ledger. Mum would have been so proud. Probably, mum would have received the rabbit at either her birthday or at Christmas time when she was a small child. As our mother moved different addresses over the years, Bunny always accompanied her. The pink ribbon was tied neatly around the bunny’s neck because mum thought Bunny was looking a bit shabby and needed smartening up a bit. Just before mum lost consciousness in her hospital bed, Bunny was placed in her hands and will accompany her on her final journey.”
In memory of Marjorie and her Bunny, we wish you a safe and joyful Easter from all at K.M.Smith.
