What our clients say about us
I knew from the moment I spoke to Mel that my boy max was going to be in great hands & cared for. Mel communicated with me so I knew what was going on. This time was hard enough but, it was a little easier feeling at ease that my boy was being taken care of.
When max came home everything was beautifully cared for & the extra details was more than i expected. Thank you for taking care of my boy. Highly recommend Angel Ashes.

Mel has been absolutely amazing. Everything she has done has made this experience has made it so much easier. 😍😍
Thank you for everything. This is my baby boy Nitro. He was 12 years old, he lived a really good life. Being my childhood dog this was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. The day I placed my order I rang Mel to confirm everything was good and I started to cry on the phone and she was brilliant and so supportive about it all.
I will forever use this company for future pets and will forever recommend this company to anyone. Thank you again Mel you are amazing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Could not thank Angel Ashes enough. Being in a tough time with money at the moment and they understood my situation when it came to my boy Freddy and understood I wanted him cremated so I could take him with me to my next rental property. Its... fantastic to come across a company with compassion when it comes to people's fur babies.read more

Jordie (Labradoodle) crossed the Rainbow Bridge on 27 May 2021. A huge thank you to Mel and Kat for looking after Jordie so well. Mel you are so wonderful and so compassionate as is Kat who came to pick up our Jordieboy. He was treated with... kindness and dignity. I love the idea that Angel Ashes and the crematorium in Victor Harbour are small businesses, thus ensuring personal and individual service. Jordie's ashes and my bracelet were returned to us by Kat who is so lovely and empathetic. I would wholeheartedly recommend Angel Ashes to anyone in need of a service such as theirs.read more

I cannot recommend Angel Ashes enough. We've had to use their services 3 times now, the last two just 4 months apart. Moxy (tabby-colour) passed first, she was a rescued Bengal-X with so much attitude and love to give. It was sudden and quick. She... was 2.5yrs old 💔. Harry (black baby) passed last December after a short battle with cancer. He was 6.5yrs old was and a kitten that was born in my loungroom from a stray I took in. He passed peacefully and quickly in his favourite sunny spot 💔. Audrey (the dog) passed this April gone. She was 12-13yrs old. She was a rescue that my husband adopted when she was about 5yrs. She also had a short, but nasty battle with cancer. She passed while in our garden 💔. Mel was so, so amazing and comforting the first time (several years ago now) that I knew exactly who I needed for the recent passing of two more of our furkids. And Mel understood just how much I loved my babies, no judgement for it. Just compassion, listening and often some helpful wise words. But, it's the little touches that show me that Mel and Jason genuinely care...like the free little teddy that she tries to match the colour of to your passed furkid❤️. The little patch of hair she encloses in a beautiful pouch with the teddy. The beautiful handwritten certificate of cremation. The beautiful packaging. Cannot praise Mel and Jason (Angel Ashes) highly enough ❤️. And there are no words to thank you for helping us in these heartbreaking moments.read more

Mel was so supportive and so lovely through this very difficult time in our family. When collecting and returning our furbaby she was so caring and professional and treated our “Elmo” (cat) like she was the most precious baby on earth (she was to... us). Mel gave our Elmo such a dignified, respectful and most importantly, caring transition from us to her which was especially comforting. We had time to say our final goodbye and was never made to feel that we had a time limit which was so very important to us. We wanted the best goodbye possible for our little miss and I believe that this was exactly what we received with Mel and Angels Ashes. Words can’t thank you enough Mel. You helped us give Elmo the perfect goodbye.read more

Highly recommend Angel Ashes, Mel was lovely and so supportive at a difficult time. Treated my turtle of 20 years with love. She provided a prompt collection so he didn’t have to linger, and was safely dropped home within 5 days.

I can't thank Mel and Angel Ashes enough for their services. Losing a pet is hard, thinking you might not be able to afford to have them returned to you is worse. Angel Ashes having pay later options was invaluable to my mum and I getting Bodhi... home. Mel communicated with me the whole way and even returned Bodhi to my home personally. The quality of service and lovely packaging shows how much they care.I work in the vet industry and highly recommend using Angel Ashes if you've lost a beloved pet.read more

The way they helped me through dealing with my dog's sudden passing when I had difficulty with cremating her as I am not all that comfortable with cremation. Jason spent a lot of time in a pm helping me choose and answering my... questions.Unfortunately I will be faced with this situation for my other dog who has just been diagnosed with lymphoma. It is only just over 4 weeks when she passed but I have been speaking again with Jason putting things into place for my boy when his time comes. I can certainly recommend Angels Ashes for the professionalism they have displayed to me including Mel letting me know she had picked my girl up from the vets the next day after I had to take her there late at nightread more

If you ever want that special someone to give you family pet a sacred service with up most respect and love, Angel Ashes are the family business to give you loved pet a cremation. The outstanding customer service we received was very moving and... beautiful.... with true honesty this beautiful family Mel and Jay do are great job and do it with dedication, and passion of respect. I Like to share the amazing respect they show us loosing a loved one and the respect to our long loved family pet Waya, they were respectful, gentle, loving, caring and compassionate, towards us, and Waya too, the great niceness from Mel and Jay with us through the whole time with their interaction with my husband and I.As a family business the loyalty and commitment is there in knowing your family loved pet is in fantastic hands with them both, they managed our transition with Waya wonderfully, light hearted and with admiration in leaving my loved pet in there hands to be cremated.I really felt my Waya was handed to angels in Mel and Jay they are both earth angels put here for us all, to be able to place our loved pets in the hands of two extraordinary people, and knowing Waya was our loved pet of 12 years is to see that with all the love he’s had all his life, he was now able to go in to spirit world beautifully .So I give them both my highly recommendation to you all who are considering on using Angel Ashes don’t think twice, you will too be given a highly gentle and well mannered service as my family and I received with no regrets but praise.So do believe that I give my honest recommendation that these guys will treat you family pet with total love, and respect and in saying that they are both angels at what they do. Thanks Mel and Jay for everything 💗💗💗💗💗read more

I'm truly sorry this is such a belated Thank You post but on behalf of my fiancé Taylah and I, we want to pass on our many thanks to Angel Ashes back in July for their empathetic service they had towards us after the loss of our beloved Lilly (our... maltese x toy poodle) who died at age 17. We had previously organised Lilly with another pet cremation place who I shall not name, however deep in our hearts we did not feel peace at all and were second guessing our decision. After scoping the internet and looking into other pet cremations here in Adelaide we came across Angel Ashes and knew right away they were the one. After reading Mel, the founder of Angel Ashes reason for starting her business, we knew Lilly would be treated with the utmost respect, love and care and that's all that mattered to us. After contacting Mel and organising with her what we wanted for Lilly we were instantly put at ease and started feeling some peace during our grieving process. Mel collected Lilly from our vet, passed on her love and continued to communicate with us every step of the way which we appreciated. We chose the perfect urn for Lilly, a bronze love heart placed upon a stand and we also had that engraved which Mel organised separately for us. About a week passed and Lilly was ready to come home. Mel delivered her personally; she came inside and spent time with us, handing Lilly over aswell as a memorial package which contained a lock of her hair, a teddy bear, a candle and a certificate of only Lilly's ashes. Mel later on left but not before giving my fiancé a warm hug goodbye and wishing us the best. Angel Ashes you exceeded our expectations and we are eternally grateful. Thank you so much.Kindest Regards Jon and Taylahread more

I can’t speak highly enough of Angel Ashes and of Mel’s service - I’ve had to say good bye to two of my babies in less than a year, and both times Mel has brought me a sense of ease and calm knowing that my babies are in the safest, most respecting... hands possible. When my guinea pig Richard passed away last year, Angel Ashes was closed while Mel and Jay were on holiday - I will admit I was apprehensive at the idea of Richard sitting in a freezer at a vet clinic for a few weeks and potentially getting lost or forgotten about amongst the bookings, but the day business resumed, I got a lovely text from Mel letting me know she had Richard with her, which brought the biggest relief.Earlier this week, I lost my rescue pigeon, Smudge - I was a bit concerned that I would be judged for having a pigeon cremated (even I questioned my own sanity for a bit), but Mel was again nothing but kind, warm and understanding and the perfect hug I needed that day.Thank you, Mel and Jay, for all that you do. �read more

Fantastic service that took a lot of the worry out of an absolutely heartbreaking time. With all of my focus being on my beautiful Stewie’s illness and inevitable passing, I hadn’t given much thought as to what would happen once he had actually... passed. Mel was fantastic - great communication from as soon as we made our booking, very flexible and very caring. Our precious boy was able to spend the final part of his journey at home with us, was collected by Mel and treated with the utmost respect. He was returned to us quickly in the beautiful wooden box we had chosen, with a lock of his fur, remembrance teddy bear (which has been of great comfort to our young daughter) and scented candle. Stewie was predominantly black with a small white patch on his chest which we loved, and somehow, Angel Ashes even knew to take the exact lock of fur I would have chosen myself - to include some of the much loved white. A huge thank you Mel, for taking care of Stewie and putting my mind at ease during this time xHighly, highly recommend.read more

I lost my beautiful little Hamish after 16 years of friendship. My vet recommended Angel Ashes. The loss of a loved pet is a hard thing to go through and Mel made it a lot easier. She was very caring, understanding and genuine also offering support... at any time if you needed someone to talk to.I would highly recommend Angel Ashes. �read more

5 weeks ago our Jazz was diagnosed with bone cancer, during this period I happened to call Angel Ashes. This was a very hard call to make, I spoke to Mel, asked her lots of questions, Mel was so lovely, made me feel good about everything, Mel talked... me through the process and reassured me she would be there when I needed her to be. The day came when I needed to send her that text, as I wasn't able to speak. Mel responded immediately, was there only when we needed her. When Mel came she sat with us, she did not rush us and took Jazzy in her care. She was beautiful. Offered a hug in which I accepted, and gave me time with Jazz at the car, only did she close the door when I said OK. A lovely lady who is in the right profession. Thanks Mel (Angel Ashes) you did a great job for us. Would call you again if ever needed. Luv Jazz's Mum & Dad, Kaylene &.Alan xxread more

When you loose a pet, the grief is the same as losing any loved one. Their farewell should have the same respect and love. This is why I decided to have Angel Ashes help me. Their love and support is outstanding.

After losing my precious little man Ralph very suddenly a couple of weeks ago, I gave Mel a call to help him on the part of his journey I could not. She was so caring and understanding it made what could have been an even more difficult time a lot... easier. She let me know when she picked my boy up so I knew where he was and then within a week she delivered him back to me. The urn is beautiful and the pendant is the perfect size. Thank you so much Mel, I appreciate what you have done beyond what just words can say. You cared for my Ralph cat during a time when I was unable to and I will never be more thankful.read more

I lost my beloved Oscar dog 2 weeks ago and he came home to rest on Wednesday this week. We had been on borrowed time and after 14.5 years of love, it was his time. I had already decided to use Angel Ashes when his time came. We contacted Mel on the... Monday and she messaged us on the Tuesday to let us know our precious boy was now safely with her. A week later, and she brought him home to rest. I am appreciative of the kind and caring service Mel & Jay offer which is a very difficult time for any fur-parent. The respect with which they treat our precious babies and the thoughful touches when our babies are returned are appreciated.

When our little fur baby passed away at 5.30 am on a Sunday morning we were both heart broken. He was 18 years old we knew it was coming. He died in our arms at home just how he would have wanted. All I knew is that I didn't want to hand him over to... strangers to be cremated. My husband found Angel Ashes on line. When she came to pick up our baby later that morning she was so understanding and caring I knew he was going with the right person. Within he the week he was back in a lovely container with his picture and a name tag. There were other little bits but I will leave that for you to experience. We have recommended to friends and will use again when the time comes. Such a lovely service for fur babies who have given so much love to you.
