Here to guide you

Taking care of the next steps

Whether you are planning ahead or need us now, we will talk through your wishes and agree the arrangements with you.

  1. A conversation
    with our team

    Tell us about your horse and what you need. We will explain the choices, confirm the costs and discuss collection.

  2. Collection, with
    time to say goodbye

    We can work around a pre-arranged veterinary visit, or discuss arriving afterwards if you would like time alone with your horse.

  3. Individual care
    at Cherry Tree

    Your horse is individually cremated here on our own premises. You can choose to bring their ashes home or have them scattered at Cherry Tree.

For horses and ponies, we arrange collection rather than asking you to bring them to us. Please call our team to agree a time; immediate collection depends on availability.

A family who understands

Horses have always been
part of our story.

The Funnell family has a long history in show jumping and eventing. That connection helps us understand the bond you share with your horse, and how difficult saying goodbye can be.

We will take the time to listen, explain what happens and help you choose what feels right for you.

Remembering your horse

A choice that feels right for you

You may wish to bring all of your horse’s ashes home in a Goodwood wooden casket or willow wicker scatter basket, or have them scattered in the peaceful surroundings here at Cherry Tree.

Will my horse be individually cremated?

Yes. We provide individual equine cremation here at Cherry Tree. The ashes returned to you are those of your horse alone.

When will their ashes be ready?

If you have chosen to bring their ashes home, we normally contact you within 3–7 days of your horse arriving at Cherry Tree to let you know they are ready.

Can I visit Cherry Tree first?

Yes. We are happy to arrange a visit, show you our facilities and answer your questions. Please contact our team to arrange a time.
