​Skeletal cleaning for pets requires the attention of a skilled taxidermist. At Peaceful Waters Aquamation, we have an on-staff taxidermist who can provide you and your family with this service. We can provide just skull cleaning or we can provide entire skeletal cleaning. It is important to note that this process takes several months and sometimes can take over a year to complete and requires a consultation with our taxidermist.
