When you lose your horse, a very special companion, it can be just like losing your best friend.

What can be even more painful, is that until now, there have been very few options for handling your special friends when they pass away.

The good news is that now you can cremate your horse, which offers a wonderful alternative to a ranch burial, or having to send your loved one to the tallow company.

Cremation is a wonderful option to perpetuate your horse's memory because:

• We only perform whole horse cremation
  
  
• Each cremation is a private cremation
  
  
• Your horse's cremains are returned to you in a container for ceremonial spreading or in a wooden urn for display

• Our Standard 3 day shipping/handling rate: $65

Logistics

Again that number is: 805-235-3386

Preparation/Pick up:

• The horse must be in an accessible area. Due to the size of our specialized transportation system, we are unable to drive on un-maintained ranch lands. The horse must be in an area into which we can back our trailer in any weather and prepare the horse for proper handling
  
  
• **Due to the sensitive nature of this process, we recommend that you have someone to support you emotionally and/or someone you trust to be there in your place
  
  
• An Eden Memorial representative will load and haul the horse to our facility in Paso Robles, CA

• Horse's cremains will be returned to you via FED EX 3 Day in your choice of plastic container or wooden urn
  
  
• *If you would like to pick up your horse cremains, you must schedule an appointment with one of our representatives

Paperwork and Financials:

• Each pet that we service is followed by an ID/Authorization Form. You (or someone you authorize) will be required to sign the paperwork at the time of pick up.
• Payment can be by Visa, Mastercard, or Personal Check
  
  
• Credit Card payment can be taken over the phone when pick up/arrangements are scheduled
  
  
• OR a Personal Check is required at the time of pick up

Disclosures/Guarantees:

• We, Eden Memorial Pet Care, understand that coping with the loss of a horse is an emotional experience. With the sensitive nature of handling and hauling a horse for cremation, we take every effort to handle your horse with gentleness. All of our staff is dedicated to providing a caring and comforting service to you and your horse
  
  
• The process of pick up and trailering a deceased horse is an extremely sensitive procedure. When Eden Memorial's representative is preparing the horse for trailering, we use a process called "winching". Due to the size of the animal, this is the proper way to move the horse into the trailer. We will do our best to ensure the utmost of consideration
  
  
• During this process, we recommend that you have someone to support you emotionally or someone you trust to be there in your place
