We help horse owners across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Bristol find an independent equine crematorium that can collect from your yard, field or vet.
What to expect
- Collection. Most equine crematoria collect, though some charge by the mile, so a crematorium closer to you may cost less. Ask for the total price including collection.
- A choice of cremation. Individual cremation, with your horse’s ashes returned, or communal cremation, which costs less.
- Typical prices. Published UK prices run from about £330 for communal cremation to about £1,490 for individual cremation of a large horse. See the price guide for the sources.
Areas we cover
Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Bristol. If you’re just outside these counties, you’re still welcome to ask.
If your horse has died or is about to be put to sleep
Your vet is the first person to call. Then see what to do when a horse dies, including returning the horse passport within 30 days.
If you’re considering burial
If your land has a private water supply, such as a well, borehole or spring, the Environment Agency’s guidance says a horse burial in England should be at least 50 metres from it, and your council’s animal health office may have its own requirements. See can you bury a horse?.
