This is the kind of service you rarely come by- it really makes a huge impact when you are going through loss. Allyse was super- so communicative and reassuring during every step in the process. She has a calm and peace about her that just gives you a sense of comfort. We are grateful for every way that Neptune made this process easier to get through. We have seen the worth of having a plan in place for our families and more than that, having people and a place of worth that will be sincere and compassionate in the worst of times. Thank you Allyse for your true customer care throughout, your calls and communication about everything were truly appreciated. Because of you, Neptune has already been recommended to those around us!

When we made our arrangements with Neptune several years ago, we knew that our satisfaction would only be realized once one of us passed away. I have no regrets. Neptune was professional and considerate after my husband passed and my family was glad we had chosen this as we grieved the loss of husband, father, and grandfather.

The folks at Neptune Society, especially Allyse Styles, Funeral Director, are AWESOME! Very professional and caring folks. They provided nothing but the utmost respect for my mother’s remains from start to finish. I’m definitely going to sign my husband and me up with them. They’re the best!

Thank you, Sara. You helped my sister and myself in making arrangements for our brother who passed away August 19th. Your kindness and taking time with us to explain options was made a difficult situation much easier. We think you went beyond just doing your job to help us with directions to places we needed to find and helping us with other information we needed. God Bless you and the others in your offices whose friendliness and helpfulness is greatly appreciated by me and my family

The Neptune Society was every bit as good as I heard it was. From the onset of a no “hard” sale approach, but rather an educational, helpful approach, to the very last contact after my father’s death was professional and comforting. I am grateful to all the staff for their assistance and kindness during a difficult time.

I contacted the Neptune Cremation Society after the unexpected death of my husband. We had no plan in place previous to meeting with Alvin Chin, the funeral director for cremation. Mr. Chin was wonderful to work with. He was able to answer all my questions and put me more at ease with making the necessary arrangements. He took care of everything. I did not have to do anything except sign the contract and write the obituary.

Everything was handled sensitively and efficiently. Mr. Chin was always available and responsive if contacted.

Having to deal with my husband’s death has been an upsetting time for me, however, I could not have asked for more from any funeral or cremation service. I highly recommend the Neptune Cremation Society in Paramus, NJ.
