An orchard setting for your noble friend

Penwith Horse Cemetery

Penwith Horse Cemetery is a much needed facility for horse owners who wish their beloved companion a dignified ending.
We will arrange for the collection and burial of your horse in our special cemetery at Rose Farm. If required, and your horse is able, we can organise collection and transportation of your horse to Rose Farm for our own vet's attention.

On every grave we will provide a fruit tree at the place of burial, thereby creating an orchard. This makes a very fitting place for such lovely animals to end their days.

Your horse will be treated with respect and reverence at all times; you can be assured that it will rest in peace & tranquillity in a beautiful place.

When the time comes please contact Penny on 01736 731310 to discuss your requirements.

We try to ease the pain for all horse lovers at their worst moments.

Burial costs

All enquiries receive individual attention, so please be sure to check with Penny for the rates applicable to your individual requirements; call 01736 731310.

The Horse by Ronald Duncan
Where in this wide world
Can man find nobility without pride
Friendship without envy
Or beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is laced with muscle,
And strength by gentleness confined.
He serves without servility.
He has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful,
Nothing less violent.
There is nothing so quick,
Nothing more patient.
England's past has been borne on his back,
All our history is his industry.
We are all his heirs,
He our inheritance.
