Memorial or Custom Order Request

Thank you so much for your interest in my work! I am prioritizing my current client load; which means to qualify for a memorial, please secure a freezer for your dearest, especially if there is no availabilities at your vet office. I unfortunately cannot make exceptions currently to my schedule - Securing a freezer or making arrangements with your vet offices are a great first step towards preparing for your pet’s aftercare, especially while experiencing a decline of health.

Due to the high volume of emails, I've put together a quick questionnaire to get you an accurate estimate in a speedier timeline - My estimates range depending on pose, size, and other requirements for the memorial (check out my FAQ below for details) - even if you don't have a clear vision yet for your memorial, please answer to the best of your ability so that we can further schedule or I can lead you to a solution to best memorialize your beloved.

I am so sorry for your loss but hope we can create something beautiful for their memory together, xo A

*I am not taking on taxidermy clients or tanned pelts - please reach out to the talented Precious Creatures Lauren Kane, Gotham Taxidermy Divya, Sam of Shiner Skulls, or for freeze-dried taxidermy Shane Eddy Wildlife and Pet Taxidermy - Canadian Inquiries; Unfortunately, I cannot work with clients outside of the U.S. due to regulations.

FAQ

TIME LINE: I am currently focusing on my current client load but will get to your email within 7-10days. Firstly, to qualify for a memorial, your pet MUST be frozen in a freezer. Most vet offices are totally willing to hold your pet as long as there are specific plans - if you are LOCAL and do not have access to a long term freezer and and ONLY want a skull memorial please email us as specified

HOW LONG DO MEMORIALS TAKE: Due to using dermestid beetles - my process takes about a year or more from start to finish. It’s a long process but these methods are best for the integrity of the bones. Check out my blog or instagram for more behind the scenes (I am currently in progress on clients from mid 2022)

NEW CLIENTS: Hello! I apologize ahead of time for the late night response as I am in the studio during the day and away from my computer/ phone. In the meantime, please make sure your pet is wrapped tight and frozen (not in a cooler but inside a freezer); you can ask your veterinarian office to help with wrapping or holding them while we figure out memorial details. Talk to you soon!

TRADITIONAL TAXIDERMY: I do NOT offer traditional taxidermy and recommend Lauren Kane of Precious Creatures. For other traditional recommendations, let me know what style and where you are located, so that I can connect you to your perfect taxidermist.

CURRENT CLIENTS: I sincerely apologize - due to covid delays, chemical shortages that have happened years ago I am still trying to catch up; Expect an additional year to your estimate of completion. I will email as soon as possible, xo

ORACLE: For online order issues or other shop inquires, please email oraclenaturalscience@gmail.com Any inquiries of local Bats, Birds, Owls, Raptors, and certain Furbearer's are federally/state protected and we cannot work on this project for you. Even a feather is illegal to have in your possession. In the state of Missouri you also need a permit to pick up road kill. If you do have the proper permitting please hang tight for a response; if not, my best advice is to give that animal a nice burial to honor it's memory. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.

CANADA: Unfortunately, I cannot work with clients outside of the U.S. due to regulations.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding,
