Equine Cremation

Here at Tic Tac we know that saying goodbye to a beloved horse is one of the hardest things any owner can face. But rather than avoiding the inevitable, it's much better to be well-prepared to give your much-loved family friend the special send-off it deserves. 

For some owners, the option of burying their horse at home is sadly not possible. However, an increasing number of horse and pony owners are using pet cemeteries or crematoriums as a suitable way to take care of their pets after they pass away. 

Most of these establishments offer a range of options to suit all budgets and tastes, but above all, they allow you the chance to provide your horse with a fitting tribute. 

Dealing with the aftermath of a death can be traumatic, but many services cater for all your needs and most offer some form of bereavement counselling.

The Association of Private Pet Cemeteries & Crematoria (APPCC) has a standard code of practise that covers pet cremations and burials and is currently the only organisation in the UK setting standards for cremation. 

Where a service is described as either a cremation or burial, it will offer the following:

• The sympathetic handling of the pet at all times

• The burial or cremation carried out according to the legal requirement of the country

• The committal of the body or the ashes to a particular area intended for that purpose, or in cremation the return of the ashes to the owner.
