Horse Urns

What Are Full-Size Horse Urns?

Horse urns in our full-size collection are large memorial vessels specifically designed to hold the complete cremated remains of a horse. Unlike keepsake-sized horse shaped urns that hold only a portion of ashes, these urns for horse ashes provide enough capacity for the full cremation output of an equine — typically 500 to 1,200+ cubic inches depending on the horse's size and weight. Full-size horse urns can also accommodate the remains of other large animals such as large-breed dogs, llamas, and goats.

Materials and Designs

Our horse urns are available in several materials suited to large-capacity equine memorials. Solid hardwood boxes in oak, walnut, and cherry offer a warm, dignified aesthetic and can be personalized with engraved brass nameplates. These horse ashes boxes feature secure closures and lined interiors that protect your horse's remains. Metal urns in brass and bronze feature traditional equine-themed designs — running horses, pastoral scenes, and equestrian motifs — with exceptional durability for long-term display or burial. Composite and cast materials offer weather-resistant options for families who plan to place the horse urn outdoors in a stable, barn, or garden memorial. Many of our cremation urns with horses feature embossed or sculpted equine imagery on the exterior.

Sizing for Horse Cremation Urns

Horse cremation produces significantly more remains than a standard pet cremation. A typical horse weighing 900 to 1,100 pounds will yield roughly 900 to 1,100 cubic inches of cremated remains. Our horse cremation urns are available in capacities from 500 cubic inches for smaller horses and ponies up to 1,200+ cubic inches for larger breeds. When selecting a horse cremation box, it is always better to choose a slightly larger capacity than estimated to ensure a comfortable fit. Horse urns for horse ashes in these full-size capacities are designed with wide openings for easy filling.

If you would like to keep a smaller portion of ashes at home while storing the full remains elsewhere, consider pairing a full-size horse urn with a small urn for pet ashes. This allows you to have a keepsake memorial in a bedroom, office, or tack room while the primary urn rests in its permanent location.

Personalizing a Horse Urn

Many of our horse urns accept personalization. Brass nameplates can be engraved with your horse's name, breed, dates, and a meaningful inscription. Some hardwood horse ashes boxes also accept direct laser engraving on the wood surface. For engraving ideas and wording suggestions, see our article on what to engrave on a pet urn. Families who want a fully custom piece — hand-painted with their horse's specific markings — can explore our personalized pet urns collection.

Display and Placement

Horse urns can be displayed in homes, barns, tack rooms, offices, or dedicated memorial areas. Hardwood boxes sit securely on shelves, tables, or display stands. Metal and composite urns work well for both indoor and protected outdoor settings — some families place a horse urn near the stable or in a garden area where the horse spent time. Our article on how to display a pet urn at home offers placement ideas and tips. For a broader overview of all memorial options, visit our complete guide to pet memorials.
