Lancashire is a county with deep equestrian roots. From the Ribble Valley to the West Lancashire plains, horses are a cherished part of rural and semi-rural life. When a horse dies, Lancashire owners need a cremation service that is not only professional and dignified, but genuinely local – a team that can reach them promptly and support them personally through every step of the process.
Heavenly Pastures is that team. Based at New Bartons Farm in Burscough, near Ormskirk, the service is at the heart of Lancashire and perfectly positioned to provide rapid, compassionate collection and cremation across the county.

Heavenly Pastures’ base in Burscough places the team within easy reach of communities right across Lancashire. From the market towns and rural villages of the Ribble Valley to the coastal communities of West Lancashire, the team provides a consistent, high-quality service wherever it is needed.
Being based in Lancashire rather than operating as a remote or national service means the Heavenly Pastures team has genuine knowledge of and connection to the communities they serve. When you call, you are speaking to a local team that understands the landscape, the equestrian culture and the importance of natural death of your horse to your family.

How Quickly Can We Reach You?
For horse owners in Lancashire, response time is a significant concern. A horse’s remains must be handled promptly for both practical and legal reasons. Heavenly Pastures aims to collect horses across Lancashire within a few hours of the initial call, depending on location and time of day.
If your horse has died unexpectedly, do not hesitate to call immediately on 01704 776976. The team will prioritise urgent collections and ensure your horse is in professional care as soon as possible.
The Difference Between a Dedicated Equine Cremation Service and General Animal Disposal
Some horse owners in Lancashire use general animal disposal services or commercial knackeries when their horse dies, often because they are unaware of specialist alternatives. While these services fulfil a legal function, they are not designed with the emotional needs of horse owners in mind.
Heavenly Pastures exists specifically for equine families. Every element of the service – from the first phone call to the return of ashes – is designed with compassion, dignity and respect at its centre. There is a profound difference between having your horse treated as an animal by-product and having them cared for as the beloved companion they were.
What Lancashire Families Receive from Heavenly Pastures
When you contact Heavenly Pastures, you can expect a compassionate and professional response from the very first call. The team will explain your cremation options clearly, arrange a collection time that works for you, and ensure your horse is handled with the utmost respect throughout.
If you choose Individual Horse Cremation with ashes returned, your horse’s remains will be returned to you in a beautiful oak casket bearing a brass nameplate engraved with their name. Weekly return deliveries are made on Fridays, though the team often accommodates earlier arrangements where possible – as many reviews from Lancashire families attest.
Reviews from Lancashire Horse Owners
The reviews left by Lancashire Horse Cremations owners reflect a service that consistently exceeds expectations. Families speak of staff who treated their horses with the care and love of their own, of caskets described as beautiful, and of a team that made an impossible situation manageable. These are not the words of customers – they are the words of grieving families who were looked after properly.
