Why Choose Horse Cremation?
Many horse owners don't have the luxury of being able to keep their horse on the same property they live on and are often not able to lay them to rest at the place where they have homed them. This is where horse cremation provides a respectful way to honour and farewell your horse.
Our helpful staff will support you through every stage of the process, so you will feel informed about what is happening to your horse in their final moments.
After the cremation, you will receive the ashes of your horse's alone. It’s up to you what you do with ashes, but we recommend scattering them in a place special to you and your horse or keeping them in an ornamental urn in your home.
