Hi folks,. First let me just say that we are very pleased with Neptune Society staff and our introduction to cremation services and plans was very through. Stuart Sterling was knowledgeable, cordial, and informative regarding all plans and forms presented. Plus during the conference call, he made our purchases, over the phone safe and easy! Kudos NS!

The Neptune Society is amazing! They go above and beyond by contacting the coroner, social security, and obtaining death certificates. I found the whole experience very compassionate and caring. It's like having a person take care of most of the important things, so you can spend your time grieving. It's also very affordable. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Neptune Society was very helpful and accommodating for both of my parents passing. They are buried in a National Cemetery so there was paperwork to be done that NS completely took care if. Couldn't thank them enough.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
