We worked with Lomario Johnson for my husband’s cremation. He was kind without being patronizing, professional yet relaxed, and patient with our questions and concerns. He listened carefully and explained exactly what, how, and when things would happen. We are grateful to have had such a person to help us today.

The Funeral Director, Regan Hinton, helped me tremendously with the death of my mother and father. My parents died 6 weeks apart and both times Regan showed compassion and was very professional in helping me to get through this difficult time. I highly recommend Neptune as a cremation company. My experience was overwhelming but Regan made the process easier and I am extremely grateful for the work he does. Thank you, Regan, for doing a great job!

My Mother was the one that had everything set up with Russell at Neptune Society. All I had to do was call them and they would handle the rest. They contacted me when her remains were ready and ordered the death certificates. Even helped to fix a clerical error on the state’s side. Very pleasant and professional, and would definitely recommend their service’s to help in you in your time of loss.

My mother passed away in August of this year and the Neptune Society was there for us right away. She went into Hospice care (super sudden and unexpected) on a Monday morning and my brother called them on Tuesday afternoon on his drive to the airport while coming from California to Texas. Before he got on the plane the Neptune Society had everything set for when my mom passed. She died very quickly at around 11:30 pm on that same Tuesday night and we had to wait for a hospice nurse to arrive and pronounce her time of death because there wasn’t a hospice nurse present when she died. Once that was finalized all we had to do was pull out the card with their number of the Neptune Society on it and call them. They came very quickly even though it was the dead of night. No pun intended. They were so kind to us. They spoke in hushed tones out of respect for what had happened, explaining everything they were going to do to my mother as far as wrapping her and transferring her to the gurney before they ever did anything. Then, when they had moved her and wrapped her for transportation they laid a single yellow Rose on the bed where she had been. It was like they were leaving what they took. A rose for a rose. It was beautiful. The only thing we had to do afterward was to go the next day to the Neptune Society in Austin and sign some paperwork (I’m assuming because nothing had been signed before my mom had died. Remember everything happened super quick) and bring a dress we wanted her cremated in, to them. They explained to us how long (days) it would take for the cremation to occur and why it would take that long and asked how many bags of ashed we wanted. They talked to us about urns and even told us we could buy them someplace else if we found them cheaper within our budget saying if we did buy them elsewhere we could bring them back to them and they would insert the ashes into the urns for us. They were very NON-INTRUSIVE about trying to sell us something. We really appreciated that very much. They called when the cremation was about to begin and again when it was over and then called again when the ashes were ready to be picked up. We felt very well taken care of and honestly couldn’t have asked for better treatment of not only us but also our mother. They were so awesome that us kids decided we were going to be cremated as well and go through the Neptune Society to make our plans. We want our families to be at peace when we pass and we all feel like the Neptune Society really does a great job at this. The reason my brother called the Neptune Society in the first place for my mom was that my dad had died 10 years prior and had done his cremation arrangements through the Neptune Society and they made it very easy on my mom. There was a tiny hiccup with his ashes and how they returned them to us (kind of bags his ashes were in) but it was nothing that would keep us from using them again. We highly recommend them!!
