"Mark, I decided long before my Yorkie passed that I wanted him preserved. As the time drew near and I seriously started looking for someone to do it. I called local people and no one wanted it, some even hung the phone up on me. To the internet I went, and I found you. Really didn't find a lot of choices, but I did find you. After calling you, the search was over. The phone call was compassionate, it was very comprehensive on what will happen, what needs to be done when he passes. I sent probably over 30 pictures because you wanted to get it right. "The more you sent, the closer I can get the look you want right" you said. When it was finally time for the return I was so pleased. I showed it to everyone, people were amazed. Even today when I show pictures the initial reaction is " that's dead? " Sometimes people mention it is about time for their pet, I always mention your services. It's not for everyone. but as I explain I had my done, they start to think of it. For me there is no hesitation, when it is time again I will use your services again. And when given a chance I always mention your great services."

"At first I found another pet preservation company & I was thrilled at the possibility! I called them & in an emotional state they threw fees at me & told me the sense of urgency. They scared me by telling me I had just days to get him into the sub zero temperatures that only their machines could achieve. I wasn't ready to deal with the emotions of sending him to a complete stranger. I did more research & found Mark. His website has actual photos of real preserved pets & I can confirm this as I have personally visited his office & seen many of the pets displayed as I came from Florida to bring my boy back home. Mark made me feel like I could take a step back & breathe. I could gather myself in that trying time & return a call to him when I felt better. He was never pushy, he was up front with all costs & there were never any hidden fees. When I spoke to him, he made me feel like I was speaking to a family member. Him & his entire family were so polite & courteous during the entire process. I knew I wanted to trust my boy with him. Unfortunately Toker is a large dog so I had to be without him for some time and I am sure my constant e-mails & calls to check in on him were excessive, but their family never made me feel like an aggravation. They always kept me updated & told me how good he was looking. They worked with me to find the perfect position to cover his incision & to present him in the way he always looked. Mark & his family didn't miss a single detail, down to the curves on the side of his ears to the wrinkles on his forehead. I could not believe my eyes. I would swear there was some sort of magical powers being involved here to make him look so real & detail oriented. This family nailed it! Now Toker stays in my bedroom & every day I kiss him on his forehead, just like I used to. I pet him, a cuddle him, & tell him about his siblings. He is back home & I couldn't have chosen a better family to watch over him than the Maier's. I could not have asked for a better experience & outcome."
