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

Coping with the loss of a horse is an emotional experience, because on top of your loss, there is the sensitive nature of handling and hauling a horse for cremation. We know that and make every effort to handle your horse with the best of care.

All of our staff is dedicated to providing a caring and comforting service to you and your horse, and we hope you will contact us should you need any help or have any questions.

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

• PAYMENT: via Credit Card before pick up 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
