Horse cremation prices
Our prices are set out in full below, with collection included and no hidden extras.
Two options
How much does horse cremation cost?
Two options, both including collection: an individual cremation from £650, where your horse’s ashes come back to you, and a communal cremation from £330, where they do not.
Individual Equine Cremation
Your horse is cremated individually, so only their ashes are returned to you.
- Individual cremation, only your horse’s ashes are returned to you
- Respectful collection from your home, stable or veterinary practice
- A personalised urn or scatter tube, with an optional engraved nameplate
- Hand-delivery of the ashes to your chosen location
- Optional keepsakes, polished horseshoes or mane and tail cuttings
- Compassionate support from our experienced family team
Communal Equine Cremation
A respectful, more economical farewell. Ashes are not returned.
- Respectful communal cremation (ashes are not returned)
- Collection from your home, stable or veterinary practice
- Professional, compassionate care from start to finish
Both figures are starting prices. The final cost depends on your horse’s size and any memorial and keepsake options you choose. For an exact quote, please call us any time on 01376 331136, there’s no obligation.
What is included in the price?
Every cremation we carry out, individual or communal, includes collection from your home, stable or veterinary practice in our own dedicated vehicle, the cremation itself, and the care of our family team throughout. There is no separate call-out charge.
- Collection from your home, stable or veterinary practice, included as standard.
- A dedicated 4x4 capable vehicle that can reach yards, fields and stables in poor weather.
- Collection often the same day or the next day.
- With an individual cremation from £650: your horse cremated on their own and tracked throughout, with their ashes returned in an oak casket with a nameplate, or in scatter tubes, and hand-delivered to you.
- With a communal cremation from £330: your horse cremated respectfully alongside other animals. Ashes are not returned.
What affects the final price?
£650 and £330 are starting prices. Four things move the final figure, and we confirm every one of them with you on the phone before anything goes ahead.
- The size of your horse or pony, which is the main factor, as larger horses need more capacity.
- Whether you choose an individual cremation, with ashes returned, or a communal cremation.
- Any memorial or keepsake choices, such as the casket, urn or engraved nameplate.
- The distance involved, for collections further from our Braintree yard.
How quickly are ashes returned?
We aim to collect your horse as quickly as possible, often the same day or the next day, and to hand-deliver their ashes back to you within around a week. We keep you informed at every stage, so you are never left wondering. You can read our four-step cremation process in full.

FAQs
Common questions about horse cremation prices
How much does it cost to have a horse cremated?
Individual cremation starts from £650, with your horse’s ashes returned in a traditional oak casket with a nameplate, or in scatter tubes. Communal cremation starts from £330, where ashes are not returned. Both include collection from your home, stable or veterinary practice. The final cost can depend on your horse’s size and any memorial options you choose, so please call us on 01376 331136 for an exact quote.
Do you offer individual and communal cremations?
Yes. With an individual cremation your horse is cremated on their own and only their ashes are returned to you. With a communal cremation your horse is cremated respectfully alongside other animals and ashes are not returned. Both are carried out with the same dignity and care.
Is collection included in the horse cremation price?
Yes. Collection from your home, stable or veterinary practice is included as standard in both the individual cremation from £650 and the communal cremation from £330, with no separate call-out charge. For longer journeys outside our core area the distance can affect the final figure, and we will always confirm the exact cost with you before anything goes ahead.
Does the price depend on the size of my horse?
Yes. Size is the main thing that moves the final figure, because larger horses need more capacity, which is why £650 and £330 are starting prices. Ponies sit at the lower end. Tell us roughly how big your horse or pony is when you call on 01376 331136 and we will give you an exact, no-obligation price.
How can I pay for a horse cremation?
We accept cash, card and bank transfer. Our office team will talk the arrangements through with you when you call on 01376 331136, Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm or Saturday 8am to 12pm, and there is compassionate phone support outside those hours.
Can you return the ashes to my home?
Yes. With an individual cremation we hand-deliver your chosen memorial or your horse’s ashes back to your chosen location with care.
How long does the cremation process take?
We aim to return your horse’s ashes to you within around a week, though this can vary. We will keep you informed at every stage so you are never left wondering.
Do you provide a certificate of cremation?
Yes, for individual cremations we can provide a certificate of cremation on request. Please mention this when you arrange the service.
