After unexpectedly having to take care of a death in my family I turned to Christina Barboza at Neptune Cremation. She was an amazing help to me, getting through the forms and explaining every step along the way. I called on her two or three times for her guidance and she always responded quickly with the correct direction and answers. She was patient, kind and compassionate, and never made me feel I was asking too much of her.

Our parents signed up for Neptune Society services several years ago, and when our mother passed away we could not have been more satisfied with how quickly, professionally and thoughtfully Neptune responded. As a result, I signed up for Neptune services myself. Our father recently passed away and again Neptune provided outstanding service. When I contacted Jason at Neptune in Ft. Myers to look into placing our mother and father in a single companion urn, he was extremely helpful and we had an engraved urn within a couple of days, in plenty of time for the planned placement service at the cemetery. I have nothing but good things to say about Neptune at Ft. Myers and recommend them highly.

My father had contracted Neptune Society for his eventual passing and as a result of that contract, I chose to contact Neptune Society to handle my husbands passing. They treated my husband with the utmost respect and they also were very respectful to me and I was able to get through that hard time as they were there for me the entire time. Received my husband’s ashes in time for me to have them at his memorial so our friends and co-workers were able to say goodbye to him. They are also helping me to arrange a military service for him at a later date. Very grateful.

I would like to thank John Greeney and the Neptune Society for taking care of EVERYTHING after my mother’s passing and honoring HER wishes. When it was obvious that mom would be transitioning to her next life, I contacted John because mom had joined the Neptune Society. He walked me through the entire process and told me what to do when she did pass. Everything was carried out efficiently and smoothly. Mom’s cremains were shipped to my brother in PA and John arranged her internment with my father at a Veteran’s Cemetery. John also emailed a reminder list of issues survivors might need to address: contacting pension plans, insurance companies and so forth.

John answered all my phone calls promptly and courteously; was always compassionate and informative. He and the Neptune Society made a difficult time so much easier than it might have been. And, my brother and I were very grateful that mom’s wishes were being followed. We are very appreciative and recommend John Greeney and the Neptune Society very highly!

Sincerely, Susan (and Richard) S.

Even with a pre-need arrangement, there is a multitude of details that must be decided on. Mr. Webb was an invaluable guide through the regulatory and procedural obstacles we encountered while laying our loved one to rest.
