Meet the Maker

Meet the Maker. At My Pet’s Ashes we love individuality, your pet was an individual like no other and they deserve to be memorialised in their own way.

That is why like working with artisans and craftspeople, to make something for you that is unique and special.

We believe that a pet’s life should be honoured and celebrated and the way you do it matters.

We specialise in working on a one to one basis with a range of exceptionally talented British craft men and women. And we wanted to showcase and celebrate them. We want you to understand how they do what they do. And we want you to see who will be creating your memorial for your pet.

Each handmade piece is something so singularly special whether it is a pet urn, a piece of memorial jewellery or cremation glassware. It will be with you for the rest of your life. And we want you to have something beautiful.

This is not the same as buying something mass produced or off the shelf. These people have trained so hard and perfected their craft. They get it! They put so much love and care into what they do. This is why they do what they do. And they understand the journey that you are going through.
