Not sure if you've tried DIY tanning or have the time, but it can be a great experience. But, it's not for everyone.
I've done trapping and hunting with tanning for a number of years on various species and some guys have sent their catches off to be tanned/ taxidermy with usually good results. There have been a few unwelcome surprises when the product comes back (almost always hair slippage).
That being said, If you're looking at companies, make sure to check out their reviews. Also, make sure that they will have the proper time to give your catch. Some places can take a while to process.
Then, make sure to carefully follow their instructions as to how they would like the hide initially prepared. Initial preparation is key. So, make sure you know what they want for a bear from head to tail. Usually they just need something basic, but be very careful because once a hide starts to deteriorate there is not much they can do.
