Taxidermy goes beyond simply stuffing an animal. It's a meticulous process that involves:
- Skinning and Preparation: The animal's skin is carefully removed and treated with tanning agents to prevent decay.
- Mannequin Creation: A form (mannequin) is sculpted to replicate the animal's muscle structure and posture.
- Mounting and Detailing: The treated skin is meticulously mounted onto the form, with careful attention paid to replicating the animal's natural features like eyes, fur, and feathers.
The Purpose of Preservation

Animal Coverage
Kurt has spent many long years building up the quality of his skillset, working on hundreds of animals, and this has paid handsome dividends. Kurt has worked on pretty much any kind of animal, and you can expect the same kind of quality throughout these many species. In the past Kurt has focused mainly on mammals of all kinds. Kurt is going to be starting birds so be sure to ask about discount prices on them. Kurt is also capable of completing service requests for pets as well, on a case by case basis. If you are interested in pet taxidermy, Kurt can always provide more details.
Licensed Specialists
At our business, we don’t allow amateurish behavior. We believe that every single customer that comes through our doors deserves the very best service experience, and that means using only the most skilled and highly accomplished individuals. Kurt is properly licensed and highly trained, so you can rest assured that you’re using a legitimate business where quality results are assured. Don’t make the mistake of wondering into an amateur operation where your taxidermy is at risk of turning out horribly – choose guaranteed results, choose Preference Taxidermy.
Museum Quality
Have you ever come across a taxidermy production that doesn’t look quite right? It’s not so hard to get things a little wrong in taxidermy, but when that happens, it can look laughably bad – making the entire enterprise feel totally pointless. Obviously, this is the last thing that you want to happen. Fortunately, if you make the decision to place your faith in our team, there’s no danger of that happening. We produce museum quality taxidermy that lasts indefinitely. In doing so, we make sure that we honor and celebrate the animals in question, rather than make them a figure of fun.
Unrivalled Value
Many people are reluctant to invest in taxidermy, because some of the services across Utah charge disproportionately high amounts for their services – but that’s not the case with us. We’re concerned with providing value just as much as quality, especially since we want to help as many people in our community as possible. For more specific information on our pricing structures, speak to Kurt – we think you’ll be happy with what you hear.
