Testimonials
In
2011 the Hooved Animal Humane Society has just celebrated it’s 40th year.
We promote the humane treatment of hooved animals thru education, legislation, investigation, and if necessary, intervention. We receive many donations from people that like to leave a memorial or tribute to a loved one, 2-legged and 4-legged alike.
In early 2010 we dedicated a part of our 26-acre farm to a Memorial Garden and we started offering engraved bricks in 2 sizes, with wording of the donors’ choice.
We would like to thank you for your assistance in providing these bricks for us. We would not be able to memorialize and honor these loved ones without you.
Sincerely,
Edeltraud Crabb

In August 2010, after chalking out a design for a 7 circuit classical labyrinth in the field at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Eugene, Oregon, it was decided to make it more permanent with bricks. The initial bricks and labor were donated by church members and it took over a month of weekends and evenings to dig out the trenches and fill them with bricks and sand. The labyrinth was completed just hours before the dedication in September 2010! It was a sunny day, the music was fantastic and there was a large community turnout for this event. A picture of this event is attached.
The next phase of the labyrinth was to put in benches and trees. We needed some funds! So far about 25 memorial bricks have been sold to members of St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church with very little marketing. We decided to sell them for $50.00, with or without clip art. There are bricks for deceased loved ones, bricks for wedding anniversaries, bricks giving thanks, bricks that the Sunday school kids chose, in other words a large assortment. The clip art has been very popular, over half of the bricks have art. We are placing the memorial bricks in the outer circle of the labyrinth. Attached are pictures of the two benches built in the summer of 2011 and the birch trees planted near the entrance, as well as photos of some of the memorial bricks.
We expect to keep selling bricks as the next phase of the labyrinth is to build an information kiosk for visitors to the labyrinth. The bricks from Polar Engraving have been very attractive and have gotten to us very quickly especially considering they are traveling from Florida to Oregon! The memorial bricks have been a great way to continue work on the labyrinth

Friends of the Mobile Dog Park have been using the excellent services of Polar Engraving for fundraising in order to establish and off lease dog park. We are using a brick paver program to adorn the entrance way to the park. The quality and workmanship supplied by polar engraving meet our need for a long lasting durable walkway. We would recommend this firm to anyone thinking of fundraising for their own projects.

...I can say from my perspective it has been a success at HH since it began about 2 years ago, with close to 200 bricks already laid or to be ordered.
While laying the bricks visiting families often stop to look at these and comment how nice they are. One person commented how this is holy ground, and when you think of all the patients who leave this world at HH for their journey into the next life I agree with her. We have quite a few husband and wife bricks side-by-side and I included one of these in the attachments.
Families often want to show their appreciation for the wonderful care HH provides, and purchasing a memorial brick is a great way to say "thank you" while also leaving a remembrance of their loved ones.
Thanks for your great work!

Our folks are buried some distance away from our home so the planting of shrubs with the bricks on a "berm" in the yard are a little remembrance of them. Since I ordered 5 bricks, I had one made for our past dogs also. All 5 bricks are buried now and look nice with no hindrance to mowing. This will be their first Winter so we'll see how they weather in the Spring.

...Although there were not many bricks purchased it did help considerably towards the expenses of the project. The project was my son's Eagle Scout project.
The bricks added a very nice touch to the whole Eagle experience,as well as providing troop members with a way to help with the project. It also provided a great memory that will linger long after Theo has graduated and left scouting.

We used Polar Engraving to do a fundraiser for our community center in Virginia City, Nevada. So far we have raised over $8,000 through our engraved brick fundraiser. It is a great way to commemorate people and organizations who contribute to our cause. Thanks for the quality work.

We are using Polar Engraving to engrave our pavers in our Saint Patrick's Patio Garden at Blessed Pope John XXIII Catholic Church. We were able to pay for the paving of the area with the sales. Members can buy a paver in memory of a loved one, a birthday gift, thank you gift and the list goes on. We have found this company easy to deal with and their work is quality and timely.
Thank you Polar Engraving!

Our community started the Memory Lane project several years ago as a special fund raiser to build extra tennis courts. The project was so popular and successful that after the tennis courts were built the Condo Board of Directors decided that the project should continue as a tribute to our residents past and present.
Through it all Patrick of Polar Engravers has been most cooperative. We made changes in design and occasional error on our part which he very graciously fixed. Customer satisfaction is important to him. He continues to fill our orders promptly and precisely. We would not consider using anyone else for this important project

We have used Polar engraving for over a year to engrave brick pavers for Estero United Methodist Church in Estero. Florida. We have used this as an extremely effective fund raiser for our Prayer Garden walk way. Not only has this benefited the church to help off set the cost of the walk way but has been a blessing to those who have bought engraved pavers in memory of loved ones. Also working with Patrick at Polar Engraving has been a pleasant experience. He has always been helpful and courteous, along with being very prompt in getting the orders engraved and shipped. I would highly recommend using Polar Engraving for any of your engraving needs.

On behalf of Countryside Presbyterian Church, we wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the beautifully engraved bricks you supplied us with for our Memorial Walkway.
This has been a two year project for us and each batch of bricks matched the previous. The new bricks we just received match perfectly the first batch we ordered and everyone remarks how nice the engraving is.
We will definitely use your company for our next fund rasing walkway project.

I've been working with Polar Engraving for a few months now and I keep going back because my first order was perfect, yes, perfect. They've been so nice and attentive with each of my name tags, plus eco-friendly. If anything, I'd have to say that they excel even more with their customer service and I consider myself and our company lucky to have stumble across them and get the chance to work with them.

Patrick from Polar Engraving is very helpful and professional. Polar Engraving has a quick turn around for brick orders and they are delivered in a timely fashion and packed in a safe manner so no bricks are damaged during the trip. The engraving is legible and the clipart has great detail to make each and every brick look special and unique!
I will send a photograph of the brick project as soon as I get a chance to take a ride up to the Country Club.

Doing business with Polar Engraving is a pleasure. Patrick provides prompt service and delivers products on time and within budget. Also, he offers many creative ideas for engraved promotion items that are different and higher end that what I typically see.
I've referred Polar Engraving with confidence to my colleagues in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

I have been very happy with the quality of the engraving of our name tags.
I've also been impressed with your promptness in responding to my questions and your politeness at every encounter. Even though our firm does not currently buy the quantity that others may, you have still treated us as though we have. Many other engravers, printers and sign makers do not like working with small businesses like ours. It is refreshing that you do!

We have had name tags done and most recently I had a vase engraved for a client. The name tags came out great and the vase exceeded our expectations! It was just gorgeous & the turnover time was so quick it was just wonderful! Everyone is so nice too! We will have all of our engraving done by Patrick!

It would be my pleasure. Polar Engraving is Naples premier engraver that backs up their product with top notch service and reliability. When I needed name tags in a pinch, not only did Patrick come through for me THAT DAY but he also hand delivered them to downtown Ft. Myers. There are very few companies - even in this economy - that will go that extra mile. Patrick has my business forever!
