Testimonials

"I had chosen Dignity to look after my horse Connor four years before he passed away. I had researched various companies and liked the thought that Dignity offered a very personal touch and seemed to understand that Connor wasn't "just a horse". I gave Dignity all of the details for Connor, my yard, my choice of casket and therefore on the day of his passing, when I had to make that phone call to the vet-Dignity knew just what to do and what I wanted.

The staff whom I spoke to that day were very calm, warm and supportive. They explained what time and how Connor's body would be collected by their own staff member Adrian.

Adrian collected Connor late that evening. He used a really wide transporter which meant Connor was easily loaded. Adrian was incredibly respectful and kind. He didn't talk too much and treated Connor with the same care as if he was still alive.

I collected Connor's ashes a week later and was offered time and support by the Dignity staff. The casket was beautiful and not morbid at all. I received a certificate to show when Connor was cremated and was relieved to see it was the day after he was collected.

I had owned Connor for 25 years and the staff really understood the bond I had with my best friend.

I would certainly recommend Dignity for your horses final journey. A very kind and compassionate company."

"Following the devastating news that we were to lose our beloved horse Ringo we contacted Viki at Dignity for help and advice. We wanted to have Ringo cremated but we wanted to ensure the process was as dignified as possible, being handled by people who truly understand the devastation at losing our beautiful boy. Viki at Dignity and Giles who attended and looked after Ringo were absolutely amazing. Ringo was handled with loving care as were we. Ringo came back to us in a beautiful basket and will eventually be buried in our orchard. I hope it will be a very long time before we will need to use your services again, but we will not hesitate to do so. Thank you Viki, Dignity and Giles."

"I cannot thank the wonderful staff at Dignity enough for looking after Jasper. I thought this day was going to be the hardest day ever after owning him for twenty years but when Adrian collected Jasper in the horse transporter he put me at ease and spent time talking things through with me. I trusted that he would be looked after and felt comforted to collect his wooden casket with his little polished shoe on the top. Thank you for making a difficult time bearable x"

"I was devastated by the loss of my 30 year old horse Oscar, Dignity provided me with a fantastic service which helped ease the loss, They were very supportive and offered such kind words, They arranged for my boy to be collected from my field and he left me in such style, They were very patient and answered any questions I had and listened, Oscar was returned to me in such a lovely way, I couldn't have asked for a more."

"I would like to say a huge thank you for all the kindness and support you have shown to me whilst I was preparing for the final goodbyes to my beloved horse Perry and for the support given to me afterwards. It was the most heart-breaking time of my life and I do not think I would have got through without the support and compassion shown by yourselves at this difficult time. It was not easy and no doubt it will take me a long time to really recover , but you helped me through and I can’t thank you all enough for being there for me and for providing such an excellent service.

I couldn’t bear to think of the vets solution or other ‘ companies “ offering disposal, Equine Dignity was fantastic and owners need to know about you !"

"I can't fault the team at dignity for the empathy and care we were given when I had to make the terrible decision on putting my beautiful horse to sleep. They were all amazing especially Vikki. From start to finish, nothing was too much trouble, especially to harry who allowed us to visit his crematorium and explained the procedure to us; he had laid Mia under the trees for us to say our goodbyes a truly amazing gentleman. Thank you dignity you live up to your name."
