Mum, thank you so much for doing all of this with me. Nothing is ever a trouble for you — you just get in and do whatever you can to help us. Late nights, up ladders (most of the time), and keeping me motivated when I’m running out of steam.

We appreciate you so much, and I’m glad I get to do all this with you, making crazy memories together. Love you ###

Building works are a bit overwhelming, but watching it all come together, makes it all real and so worth it! Our new space is becoming everything we’ve envisioned for our beautiful families x

Big thanks to the team getting their hands dirty, especially my amazing Mumma, and for helping make it all happen. We're excited and nervous at the same time, but know the dust and chaos will all be worth it when we open, hopefully # just a few weeks!)

More updates coming, so stay tuned!

This week has been huge!! And we're finally ready to share the news properly.

On Monday, we settled on our very own Canberra space… and yesterday we collected the keys. This is something Shi and I have dreamed about - designing a dedicated, intimate space for our Canberra and Queanbeyan families.

We didn’t waste any time either. Yesterday, we met all the trades onsite, with renovations starting straight away. The current space has been well cared for… but is about to get a massive LMF makeover. We're creating a space with love and intention - because we know what it will hold. This will be the place people walk into on the hardest days of their lives, so every detail matters. It needs to feel calm, private, safe… and like you’re being looked after properly.

Like, follow and share our Lovell Meizer Funerals - Canberra page — that’s where we’ll be posting the reno updates and opening details as we head towards March.

Shi and I plan to manage both Canberra and Goulburn daily, so we still offer the same personal care we’ve become known for, alongside our amazing team.

This is an exciting new chapter for Lovell Meizer Funerals, and honestly… we're just so humbled. We’re very conscious we wouldn’t be here without the trust and support of our beautiful, loyal community — a community that recommends us, speaks our name when it matters, and backs our little family business in ways we notice, and carry with us x

If you’ve ever said “call Lovell Meizer Funerals”, shared our posts, or sent a family our way — thank you. You’re part of why Lovell Meizer Funerals - Canberra exists, and we won’t ever forget it!

Kristy, Shi, and the LMF family x

Published in August, not sure how we missed this, but we're super proud to share! It isn't even the first time we've made their top 5 either, which means we're obviously doing something right.

They were wonderful in ensuring my mother was treated with dignity and compassion, nothing was a bother to them, and they truly looked after every detail. Highly recommended for their compassion, empathy, and attention to detail."
