Was very pleased how Jason Costin handled the arrangements for my husband. He made everything as stress-free as possible and was always just a phone call away with my questions and concerns at such a different time. I would highly recommend them.

We bought our plans with Neptune Society 11 years ago and I was very gratified that they have it down to such an art. I literally spent 20 minutes with the representative there. He had his checklist all ready, asked me all the questions that they already knew needed to be asked, and what I needed as far as death certificates went very painlessly. It was all very simple and very respectful, and I’d recommend them highly.

Sara was incredibly helpful, genuine and understanding. She walked us through this difficult time and made the process as easy for us as possible. She took care of everything! She and her staff went above and beyond. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing funeral and cremation services. One of the best suggestions from Sara was that Mom loved books and had a ton so Sarah suggested we give some to friends and family as a memento at the service. Everyone loved the idea and now her books, which she loved so much will live on. Thank you, Sara, Megan, and staff for making this very difficult time a whole lot easier.
Thanks.

I am so glad my husband had a prepaid cremation plan with the Neptune Society. Amy was so kind and attended to several of the details to take the burden from me at the time of my husband’s death. Amy kept me updated every step of the way. Thank you!
