Absolutely Effortless. Russell Lavender went above and beyond every step of the way. During a difficult time, we never worried about anything. Our family is grateful for everything the Neptune Society provided. I don’t know what we would have done without them.

I could not be more pleased with the extremely efficient (prompt), and at the same time, exceptionally thoughtful and caring assistance that I received in working with the Neptune Society in Pompano Beach. The response time in dealing with additional issues that came up after the initial call was extraordinary, even with several of the non-urgent requests being emailed on the weekend. Responses were timely, thoughtful, professional, and throughout the entire process, very sympathetic and caring.

Kelly with Neptune Society was a wonderful help and compassionate at this difficult time with the loss of our 4-month-old granddaughter. They took care of everything for us and made this difficult matter a lot easier for us. I had never dealt with a cremation process before, but they explained everything and took care of things. They had a package plan that included everything and never tried to sell anything extra. The urn we were supposed to get, was not going to be in time for the Funeral Mass, but Kelly took care of everything and actually gave us another urn to use for the Mass. Thank you, Kelly and Neptune Society.

Val helped me through the process and she helped me schedule a viewing. Very easy and fast. Daisy greeted me to pick up my mom’s ashes and really listened to me and it meant a lot for someone to be there for me and listen to all the things that I’m going through, without judgment I was able to vent. Daisy and Val were such a great help and guide through this sad time. Very grateful. We received my mom’s ashes in such a short time and we were able to bury shortly after she passed.
