Alvin Chan who by all means made the loss of my daughter so much easier to bear by the kindness afforded to me. He deserves all the accolades possible. Please share this with him. My husband and I too will be cremated by Neptune. Highly recommended with his professionalism.

Making arrangements for the loss of a loved one is always a difficult task and even more difficult when it is done remotely from a different state. I found the people from the Neptune Society in Louisville to be helpful, compassionate and understanding and above all grateful that all the arrangements were done very quickly and efficiently.

My mother, sister and I all three took out Neptune plans a number of years ago. Unfortunately, two of those plans have been used. The process was seamless. Both my mother & sister were in our home at the time of their deaths, under Hospice care. Hospice made all the necessary calls, including to Neptune. Neptune staff were very reverent as they made preparations. they kept us in the loop as to what was going on and the time frame. I absolutely would & have recommended Neptune Society

My experience with Neptune Society was wonderful from beginning to end during this difficult time for my family. The receptionist Charisma was always caring, gracious and polite. My Funeral Director Belinda Montenegro was the best, she guided me through everything step by step. She always called right back every time I reached out. Sometimes I called three times a day. She was very patient with me. She made the whole process very comfortable. She also checked on us after the process was completed to made sure we knew she was there for us if we needed her. Wonderful experience, thank you…

I am very thankful for the professionalism of John and the staff at the Lynnwood office for the Neptune Society. The empathy provided on each phone call was felt and very appreciated. All services were handled in a timely manner. I so appreciated the spreading of the ashes done prior to the memorial service and handled with great care. I would recommend the pre-planning for a cremation in advance when at all possible. Thank you for your help during this difficult time!

My wife recently passed away. I made arrangements for her cremation through the Neptune society. Sara and her staff were kind, patient and professional throughout the process. Even though it was a solemn event, Sara listened to some of my antidotes and we had a few laughs. She made our time together and on the phone pleasant. My brother, who accompanied me, signed up for a preplan. Again, Sara made this a smooth process. His materials arrived promptly. Thank you for everything!

Jason and the Neptune Society Cremation Services of Ft. Myers were a pleasure to work with through the difficult times of my Father passing away. Jason guided my Mother and I through the process and made it such a very simple process, which was such a relief as there are so many other things on the list to do. He was clear, concise, and patient with our questions. I would highly recommend this organization and Jason to others. Thank-you Jason on behalf of our entire families!
