The Scottish Government has given the go ahead for the installation of Scotland’s only independently owned horse crematorium.
Pet and Equine Cremations Ltd, which is based in Falkirk, received full approval following a recent Animal Plant and Health Agency inspection.
The company offers a full cremation service to horse owners in Scotland in conjunction with its sister company Equine Recovery Services, which has been helping owners at the end of their horse or ponies’ life for the last 15 years.
The two businesses, which are owned by horse owners and breeders, David and Susan Reed, offer horse owners a cremation service with their much loved horse always being looked after.
David and Susan have a site based in Central Scotland where the bespoke equine cremator can accommodate any horse or pony and their ashes can be returned to their owners by arrangement.
Personal service
“We have horses of our own and know how upsetting it is to deal with their passing, and how it helps to have someone to guide you through the choices that can be made at this difficult time,” said Susan.
David and Susan are also able to offer a variety of keepsakes and mementoes of your horse.
“As well as the traditional wooden caskets and woven baskets, we are seeing an increase in requests for memorial items such as hoofprints, return of shoes or the creation of items of jewellery from mane or tail – we can either arrange these or put owners in contact with other parties who undertake these memorials,” said David.
