Frequently Asked Questions

  • What animals are you able to cremate?

    Although our main focus is equines, we are also able to cremate other large animals on request. This includes sheep, goats, pigs, cattle, llamas, alpacas and more. Our equipment is best suited to larger animals, so we do not offer cat and dog cremation. There are plenty of wonderful local companies who can help you with cat and dog cremation.

  • Do you provide or organise the euthanasia of my animal?

    No, this will need to be organised directly with your vet.

  • Is cremation harmful for the environment?

    Every method of treating deceased animals has some impact on the environment. We are committed to ensuring our processes have as little impact on the environment as possible. Our cremator has been specifically selected and imported from the UK because of its emissions-reducing features.

  • Is your facility open to the public?

    As the facility is located on our private property, we are not open to the public. If you are considering using our services and wish to visit, we may be able to arrange a site visit for you. This is strictly by appointment only.

  • How long does the process take?

    Our aim is to have your horse collected from your property and their ashes returned to you within 5 to 10 working days.

    It takes around 10 to 12 hours to cremate an average-sized horse, and a further 6 to 10 hours for the ashes to cool, allowing us to safely gather them. Your selected ash presentation option will impact the time it takes for us to return the ashes to you. We are reliant on other companies for our ash containers, so we can let you know our time-frame expectations for your individual circumstances.

  • What quantity of ashes will I receive back?

    This is entirely up to you and the ash return option you select. Some people may wish to receive just a small quantity of the ashes as a keepsake, while others may choose to have all of their horse or pony’s ashes returned. There are also many mid-way options and it depends on what you plan to do with the ashes. A 500 kilogram horse can result in around 15 to 20 kilograms of ashes.
