If that's the case, then how do Skulls Unlimited (US based company) do their thing?

They've been around for 30+ years, and reduce human heads to skulls.

They're probably working with remains that have gone through the 'donation to science' route. That line should be taken in the context of the entire article being about keeping your own relatives skulls not just about skulls period.

They may purchase previously-reduced skulls and profit on arbitrage.

The wikipedia page shows part of their setup for reducing heads to skulls, using the beetles mentioned in the article.
