Why Choose Us?
Angel Ashes stands out for the care and attention we bring to every service. Here are a few reasons why families trust us:

Founder / Director
Melanie Hyland
Mel’s dedication to running and operating Angel Ashes comes from a deeply personal place. As the heart of our team, she is moved by every pet’s story and feels honoured to support families through their journey of grief.
Knowing how vital compassionate guidance is—something she wished for in her own experience—Mel ensures every family feels understood and cared for. Her heartfelt approach shapes our commitment to empathy and respect.
Understanding the emotional needs of our community, Mel also founded a Pet Loss Support Group on Facebook, creating a safe space for families to share, connect, and find solace with others who have experienced similar loss.
We are proud to continue this mission under her leadership.
The Beginning
Mel’s journey to founding Angel Ashes was sparked by a deeply personal experience. After a distressing encounter with a pet cremation service, she was left holding an urn, uncertain if it truly contained her beloved cat, Oakley-Bean. This heartbreak fueled her determination to create a service that provides certainty, respect, and comfort to pet owners.
In 2008, Mel established Angel Ashes to offer compassionate pet cremations and memorial products. Under her leadership, our team is dedicated to ensuring you receive only your pet’s ashes, handled with the utmost care.
With Angel Ashes, we strive to honour your companion’s memory with confidence and empathy, guided by Mel’s unwavering commitment to our community.


My Promise to You
At Angel Ashes, our guiding principle is simple: to provide every pet and their family with the dignity, respect, and compassionate care they deserve.
We understand the unbreakable bond between you and your beloved pet, and our promise is to honour that relationship by creating a service that upholds trust, peace of mind, and genuine care.
