Horse and Equine Cremation and Funeral Services
For your horse, pony or donkey, cremation can assist you in commemorating your faithful companion at the end of their life.
Our facilities provide pet owners unparalleled service, never before offered to equine owners. HORSIA has the ability to cremate horses up to 2500lbs in our specifically designed equine crematory. Our crematory was designed to be able to perform cremations for horses the same way as they are performed for people and our on-site equipment allows for the gentle handling and loading of your beloved horse into our crematory unit.
Once we bring your beloved companion into our care, the entire cremation process can usually be handled within 24 – 48 hours.
Private Cremation
Our private horse cremation service offers the same professional aftercare services just as in the human and pet industry. Providing only whole-horse cremation, every horse is cremated alone and treated with the utmost dignity and respect.
Pre-Planning your horse’s funeral arrangements can also be a helpful and reduce stress during these emotional and sometimes rushed times. Please contact us for more information on advanced planning.
From the moment your companion is in our care, they will be accompanied by a Pet Tracker 360® medal, to guarantee that the cremains that are delivered to you are those of your beloved friend. After cremation your horses the ashes can be collected at our facility or they can be delivered directly to your home, for an additional fee.
As a horse owner, you will have comfort knowing your companion will not be transported elsewhere for cremation. Our operation is a transparent complete end-to-end operation with 100% disclosure and located all under one roof.

Transportation
HORSIA organizes pickup and transportation of your horse in our specially constructed refrigerated trailer to our facilities.
We ensure continuous and respectful care of your companion throughout the entire process. We understand that the way an animal’s body is handled after death is just as important as when they are alive. With us, your horse will be treated with absolute respect and dignity they deserve.
We utilize large animal emergency rescue equipment, specifically the Large Animal Value Glide. The Value Glide is essentially a (thin but very durable plastic) horse-sized stretcher that allows for the humane and gentle handling of the horse’s body. The horse is secured to the glide, which is attached to a winch inside the trailer that pulls the glide with the horse’s body inside the trailer.
* Please contact us to see if we are able to assist you in your region. We can pick up your horse in a meadow, a stable, a veterinary clinic, or other.
