I am home now from Iran and found your two large crates waiting for me!! It really was like Christmas for me!!! I opened the box to see inside, but am waiting for one of my cameramen to be free to film the actual “unwrapping” and definitely we are planning to use this as an SCI segment, in fact I’d already emailed my Production Manager to make sure it gets into the 3-4th quarters of 2011.

I want to tell you that it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you and your company. Totally professional and the actual taxidermy work is first class. I can’t wait to get the animals into my trophy room!!! I only wish I’d have known about you years ago!

We’ll make sure we drop by your booth at SCI to meet and talk in person.

I received your import form today. Yes, all our trophies came thru in PERFECT condition. The crating of the trophies were expertly done. We are thrilled with the great job your taxidermists did for us. We certainly had a large number of trophies. The lion rug is beautiful. The full mounts of the Steinbuck and Caracal are fantastic. The wildebeests look life-like! The cape buffalo looks like it could charge me at any time! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

I am pleased to inform you, that my Hunting Trophies have arrived safely, yesterday morning. On opening the crate, I was delighted with the trophies. Your staff have carried out excellent work and have recreated the full spirit of Africa. My trophies are now at our offices and are in full view to all our visitors.

Thank you again for the excellent workmanship and professional service from your staff and your company.

All trophies have arrived and look fantastic. Thank you very much for your work and effort put into the delivery of the trophies.

Kind regards, Tim Doublon

I have received everything expected at both our place in SA and here in the US. We have it all placed and as usual are extremely pleased with it all. We will have future dealings and I will always be willing to refer customers to you. You can use me as a reference if you like. My only problem is if I get more taxidermy I’m going to need bigger houses at some point. Thanks again.

The trophies arrived safe and sound and I am very pleased with your work. The plaques are just the color I wanted-----you all did a GREAT job. So many thanks for your interest, and please know if and when I do return for another safari, I plan to have you mount all my animals. By the way, the warthog skin turned out great!!!!! Many thanks and sincerely.

We received the final paperwork on our trophies and had actually received our trophies just after Christmas. We were so pleased and grateful for the care your staff took in packing and crating. The mounts are beautiful and proudly displayed in our home where all of our guests are in awe. Please give our best regards and many thanks to you and your staff for a job very well done. It's been a pleasure working w you and look forward to more in the future. All the best.

Really pleased with it. It was so real that I thought it was going to get out of the box and charge again so I shot it again.

Kind regards and thanks, Michael Sears

Yesterday, our trophy shipments arrived at the tannery used by our taxidermist, and we (my taxidermist, the tanner, and myself) unpacked them today. All was as expected; the taxidermist and tanner were both highly complementary on the quality of the preparation, and the tanner commented that all work that he receives from Lifeform is well prepared and packed – among the very best that he receives from anywhere.

We wish to offer many thanks to all of you for your excellent work.

Thank you, Charles Rogers and Lynn Conway

The shipment arrived without any damage to any of the trophies thanks in part to your staff who did an expert job in packing them. The mounts are beautiful thank you for a wonderful job and thank you for your help in selecting some of the designs.

"The essence of Africa... the essence of safari. That essence is what Life Form recreates through their stunning taxidermy. Each mount memorializes the spirit of the chase and the noble nature of the game pursued. Thank you Cecil for bringing the memories of our Honeymoon Safari back to life and into our home!"

Gray N. Thornton, President & CEO Wild Sheep Foundation

Thanks so much Tim loves his snake it’s a real hit of the game room. But my favorite is the giraffe an elephant we’ve had lots of people and a school tour everyone just raves. You did such good work on the animals! And there bases are wonderful...

I want you to know... that you and your company have been the most pleasant and professional and responsive to my needs! The best! I'm sure this is how you interact with all your customers and it shows. Your quick response and follow thru eases my mind from 6,000 miles away.

Thank you very much!!

Thank you, all of the trophies arrived intact. My Nyala is beautiful and indeed brings back some happy memories of South Africa. I look forward to my next visit and would not hesitate to use and recommend to everyone the services of LIFE-FORM TAXIDERMY in the future.

Thanks again,

Rich Rodeheaver

My skins and horns all made it to my guy in Edmonton. I will quote his remarks to me about the the condition of the arrived trophies, "these are the absolute best prepared, crated and cared for trophies I have ever received, from anywhere, in all my years as a taxidermist."

I thank you for the care and handling of my trophies, it is wonderful to find a company that obviously values my trophies as much as I do. I have hunted over much of the planet and often my trophies arrive much, much later and in an abominable condition, costing me considerable extra money for my taxidermist to make them look presentable.

Thank you again for the excellent care.

We received our shipment today and unpacked the trophies. We are very pleased with the mounts and hope that you pass on a big "Well Done" to all those who helped prepare these trophies for us.

Best Regards, Steve Nelson

All the trophies arrived in Great condition. I was very pleased with the quality of work on all my trophies. They look great in my trophy room. I love to look at them and dream of africa. When I return to Africa I will use your taxidermy company again. Thank you for following my trophies all the way through the process.

Thank You, Spencer Smith

Hi, Just to let you know I received my trophies yesterday. May I take this opportunity to thank you and the team for another great piece of work. Once again you have exceeded all my expectations the ostrich is brilliant, my partner thought he was fantastic which is saying something, as she does not really approve. Please pass my thanks on to the team.

Best Regards. Have a nice day, Bob

Oops........I am so very sorry! I thought I had already informed you that not only did the prized warthog arrive shortly after your notification but it is prominently displayed on my wall in the exact place it was previously thought out to be hung. I am so absolutely satisfied with your artistic expression please include me as a very happy client and further reference if needed.

Thanx so very much from a thoroughly satisfied customer........Carroll SHIFFLETT

Would like to Say a Huge Thank You to you and Life-form for all of your great help. My trophies arrived today 3.13.09. I was so pleased with the Quality of workmanship. You may use me as a recommendation world wide. Everything you did was fulfilled to my ultimate satisfaction. Please pass on my Thank You to every one involved. I'll be back to South Africa in September 2010,and You'll definitely be doing my trophies once again. Claire........ Thank You so much........Harry ” – Mr. Harry Clark, U.S.A.

“The trophies have arrived today and they are simply Wonderful!! Thanks to all for a great job. Please feel free to use me anytime as a reference for American or any other hunters should the need arise. I am an outdoor writer here and can certainly vouch for your professional efforts, start to finish.” – Mr. George Glines, Kansas, U.S.A.

“Please relay our thanks to the rest of the team for taxidermy that’s out of this world. Several words come to mind in relation to you all: efficient, professional, helpful and the last but I thing more important friendly. So once again our thanks.” – Bob & Tim Mitcham

“We received our crate and must tell you how very pleased we are with the quality and condition of our trophies. Everything looks fantastic! We felt we were in good hands from the moment we were introduced to all of you at Life-Form Taxidermy and touring your facility gave us confidence that our trophy animals would be handled with care and expertise. We were not disappointed in any way. The packing of the crate is an art form in itself!

Additionally, communication from Life-Form’s staff and Safari Cargo’s Marie Venter and Hunters International’s Rose Lopez was timely and reassuring. So, from start to finish we have been overwhelmingly satisfied and delighted. We are especially pleased we decided to have our taxidermy done in South Africa. Contributing to the economy of a country whose people treated us with such kindness was an important consideration as well.

Tonight we hunt all the mounts and draped the zebra rug over our sofa. And, I’m so very happy with the way the two wildebeest backskins were joined for a rug! Can you tell we’re trilled?

Trusting that this communication finds each of you who contributed to our South African experience well and happy, we extend our sincere thanks” – Sara & Kevin Smith,

You guys are great!” – Steve & Patti, Minnesota

“I received my trophies last week and hung them in my home. They are wonderful. The art work is simply beautiful. They appear to be so life like that you are waiting for them to blink or jump through the wall. Thank you for a job well done.” - Don Priebe, MI, U.S.A. HYPERLINK

“My shipment has arrived and I was greatly impressed in the following regards, among others:

The packing was really first-rate

The Buffalo shouldermount is very detailed and very solidly done

The Buffalo backskin is very well tanned and dyed

The Buffalo feet are wonderful.

I had no idea what to expect with the feet – never having seen this done before. I would up giving one pair away as a gift to a friend in NY that had recently done me a substantial favor (such was my enthusiasm for the way they look). This is the 4th taxidermy shipment I have received from SA and it was definitely the best. I will recommend you to others.” – Wiley Horton, FL, U.S.A.

“The trophies arrived, undamaged. I want to thank you and the rest of the staff for all of your help and for doing an incredible job of mounting the animals. Instead of just a trophy hanging on the wall you have turned them into a true piece of art. By the way, no body, including myself, could believe that you managed to pack everything in such a small box and have them get all the way here in once piece. Thank you again. Please feel free to use me as a reference, as to the quality of work, for you.” – Pete Woeck, Wyoming.

I am looking forward to working with you on the taxidermy for the animals from safari this year. Thank you again for all your assistance.” – Michael Parliament.

“We are so pleased that we were lucky to find you and we have always been more than satisfied with the work you have done for us. Besides the wonderful work you do, we have also been very satisfied with the information you have given us and the prompt answer to the mails we send you. We always feel that you give a very personal attention to our orders.” – Flemming & Mona Lange, Denmark

”I received my trophies and they look great! I’m so happy I had you do them. They look great on my wall. I would recommend you to any one hunting in South Africa. Your staff was very helpful since I have never been out of the country before, and had no idea of what to do. I wish you and the staff at Life-Form all the best and Thank You for such a great job and all the help. I hope to return soon and I know who will do my trophies.” – Kenneth Richter, Texas, U.S.A.

“The trophies have arrived and THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! Way beyond our expectations --- you guys are the masters of your craft and we’re just blown away by your work!!! We have seen a lot of taxidermy and, bar none, your work is the best we’ve ever encountered! I can’t sing your praises enough --- the cats are gorgeous, perfect, wonderful! Everything from the little Genet cats to the Sable to the Baboon in his tux are all we could’ve hoped for & more!!!!! --- Thank you so much --- thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!! We’ve always been more than delighted with the work you’ve done for us, but I have to say, this shipment truly is the best of the best! Will never consider anyone else! Thanks again to you all!” – Mary

”I just wanted to take this opportunity to advise that we received the shipment of our trophies yesterday. All was received in good order. I also wanted to mention that the quality of work done on my and Gary’s trophies was exceptional. The shipping concerned us but your packaging kept your ART work as good as if it were handed to us in person. I can assure you that when we come again to Africa you will again receive a request to perform your magic on our future trophies as well. Thank you so much.” – David Holmes

“I received my animals yesterday. The mounts are absolutely beautiful. I could not be more pleased with the quality of work. Excellent job. Please pass on my appreciation to all involved.” – Will Woller.

“I received my shipment last week. There was no damage and Life-Form’s work was outstanding! I hope to use your services again after my hunt in Mozambique. Thank you so much for taking care of me in such a professional manner. As a satisfied customer, I assure you I will recommend Life-Form to my friends.” – Harold Hahn

“A trip to South Africa is not complete until you get your trophies home. Every hunter anxiously waits for the time when they arrive and are unloaded and inspected. When the job is done right, every head, every hide, brings the hunter back to the bush on the day they were harvested. If the job isn’t done right, then the hunt seems diminished somewhat. Our trophies arrived this week.. Ray Rickert and I couldn’t be happier. I am amazed at the professional job of mounting and sending the trophies home. Every step of the way we were kept informed and updated. Everything was on schedule. It was truly painless. Hunters I know who’ve sent their trophies home to be mounted always have problems. When I go back to SA and am lucky enough to shoot other trophies, Life_Form will be included on the itinerary. You do great work. Please feel free to share this with others who are considering your company. Have them call or write me. Good work should be rewarded.” - Charles W. Black, Colorado, U.S.A.

“You’re my Hero!”

“Thanks that’s so cool! You guys are the Greatest.”

“I believe he is convinced that you guys are the best. After all I only had to tell him the truth. Please feel free to use me as a reference any time.” – Roy Bain

“Everything is received. Thanks soooo much …….. The Rhino is AWESOME …. You did a fantastic job on that and the other shouldermount. Thanks!!!” – Kurt Mai

“I received my crates. THANK YOU SO MUCH! The work is incredible and leaves me speechless!!! The Elephant and Leopard are incredible. Thanks again, you and your organization have been amazing to work with.” – Jon Schiller

“I would not hesitate to recommend your service to any one of my friends. With my heartiest thanks to you and your people, for a job very well done.” – J.K. Ricker
