TRAIL'S END
LARGE ANIMAL REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL LLC
SERVICES
BURIAL

We are pleased to be able to offer a legal option of burial to our clients.
​
This is our primary choice of disposal for our client’s animals. When Trail’s End first began in 2000 this option was not available. Through a lot of hard work, the laws were changed to allow large animals to be buried at a certified facility. Waste Management works with Trail’s End to make this legal option available to our clients.
Waste Management is diligent in doing a good job, not only for the environment, but also to serve its customers to the best of its ability. The burying of large animals such as horses is regulated by state and environmental departments. It is their job to ensure the quality of our land and water.
​
Burying large numbers of animals without oversight and guidelines can potentially lead to land and water contamination. Utilizing a landfill like Waste Management is the only legal and responsible solution we currently have. The staff that we work with have helped us provide a nice resting place for our animals. They prepare an area for us upon our arrival at the facility and immediately cover the animal.
​
We are very comfortable with the service that Waste Management provides, and we have eight of our own horses buried there that were very much part of our family.
CREMATION
Private Cremation is an option that
is chosen by many people.
We will provide full service to facilitate the cremation of your horse or other beloved animal.
​
When discussing end-of-life care with your veterinarian, let them know you prefer cremation, and they can assist in making the arrangements with us.
If your horse passes away at home, on a farm, or at a boarding facility, reach out to us to arrange the pick-up.

Trail's End provides a professional service by coming directly to your stable, home, or equine clinic to pick up and transport your equine companion to the cremation facility using our specially designed trailer.
Private cremation with return of ashes
with a choice of urns.
