Community & Family
On Saturday 5th June, 1886, Kate Mary Smith submitted an ‘Undertakers’ Notice’ in The Brisbane Courier informing “The inhabitants of Brisbane and surrounding districts that the long-established business so successfully carried on by the late Jno.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 and the families we respectfully continue to share our news and event items with today.
Nudgee Cemetery & Crematorium is a large Catholic cemetery at 493 St Vincents Road, Nudgee, Brisbane. The cemetery opened in 1867 and today Archie paid a visit to the wonderful staff.

For many families Father's Day is held in memory of their dad, instead of with him. It is no less special a day, but it is different for those who are mourning or grieving the loss of their father, husband or son.
Kate Mary's husband John died in 1886 aged 42. Their 6 children were aged from 6 to 14 years and whilst we don't know what Kate said or did to comfort them, we've heard that there is an Irish saying she may have used: 'Love leaves a memory no one can steal".

We are delighted to begin resuming normal activities in the community once again!
Residents from a Nursing Home close to our Goodna office were treated to a visit from our beautiful K.M.Smith therapy dog Nate, whom they showered with many hugs, pats and treats.
