My husband and I were extremely impressed with the efficient, accurate, professional, thorough, and friendly experience we had with Veronica Williams and the staff at the Palm Harbor Neptune Society location. This is our second experience with a family member’s cremation through this office. Both experiences were extremely positive. The staff handles every detail in a timely manner from picking up the deceased to all needed arrangements involving the death certificates, processing, and ashes. It was a privilege to work with Veronica Williams and the staff at this location.

My aunt preplanned her burial with The Neptune Society years before her passing knowing it would simplify everything in terms of what to do at her death. Patrick Martin was exceptionally knowledgable, compassionate and professional in every way. And the followup calls and materials have been through.
Thank you.

Russell Lavender was amazing. He was professional and courteous. Answered several phone calls promptly and gave us his undivided attention each time. Dealing with Mom’s arrangements was emotionally difficult, but with Russell help, honoring her wishes wasn’t. It was a very positive experience, for a very trying time. Thank you, Russell.

I want to thank Carlos Calderon for being so kind and caring during the process I went through of losing my grandma. He made himself available to help me and walked through the process of filling out paperwork and making it easy to know where to sign on the paperwork. He was also available to help me over the weekend and called to check up on how I was doing, losing my grandma was so hard but thank you so much for making it easier. Karen

When our parents first told us of their plans, and that they were working with Neptune society, I was thrilled!
As an R.N., I knew of Neptune’s services and was a proponent.
The ease, grace, and kindness with which they work are so comforting. No decisions are made immediately upon the death of a loved one, as it’s all done ahead of time!
I’m extremely grateful that my parents did this, and now my brothers and sister are doing it as well. This easily removes the burdens of choice when your Loved one passes.
