Getting a call late at night of a family members death is not easy to deal with. Thankfully everything was pre-arranged with Neptune Society and I really did not have to make any decisions that night regarding my family member. They took care of everything. They made me feel at ease throughout the entire process and were very respectful. I appreciate all they did.

My Mom passed recently and she had arranged for this service years ago. This was the first time my siblings and I had dealt with a cremation service and we did not know what to expect. One phone call started the process for us and Daniel Varney walked us through every step of the process with kindness and compassion. There is so much involved when a significant person in your life passes. But thanks to Daniel, he worked with us with genuine care, concern, and professionalism. Thank you Daniel Varney and the Neptune Society and may God bless our Mother! The McFadden Family

My brother passed away on June 7, 2019, after a very brief illness. He was transferred to the Neptune Society upon his death as he had prepaid them to handle his remains. Michael Meadows took charge of the whole process for me, as I did not live locally. His compassion and help will always be remembered. Thank You. Pat W.

Dear Carlos,

On behalf of our beloved Aunt Ann, we want to extend our deepest appreciation to you.

Your concern and helpfulness were extremely comforting to us as we endured the loss of our loved one. Additionally, you stood by all that you committed to doing to see us through this heartbreaking journey. Words cannot express our gratitude for the caring way in which you carried out Aunt Ann’s final wishes.

One last request – please share this note of thanks to your superior so that they can know how thankful we are to you.

Sincere thanks,

My son suddenly passed away on May 15, 2019, and amidst the shock of the unexpected loss, we still had to plan a burial or cremation. Because my sons passing was so unexpected we had to try and remember what his wishes were in the event he should pass away. He did tell us he wanted to be cremated and so that’s what we set out to do. Olinger was the first one we contacted but an ensuing legal issue got in the way and Olinger wouldn’t budge, and a few others wouldn’t budge on this tiny legal matter that wasn’t even a big deal. Now, it seemed like we were out of options and didn’t know what to do. So we called Tom Martino’s radio show and he suggested we get a hold of The Neptune Society. As it turns out The Neptune Society should have been the first number we called. The staff at the Arvada office were wonderful from beginning to the end. The receptionist Robin Leonard is friendly and very helpful. Office manager Alejandro Ruiz was kind and helped explain some of the procedures of the paperwork. The one person who was amazing through this horrendous ordeal was funeral arranger Todd Putnam who proved you can have compassion and understanding while conducting business. He even made sure to remind us to get some sleep, eat and take care of ourselves. Todd explained everything to us from the paperwork to the cremation, so we knew what to expect from point A to point Z. Something I must say Todd told us the viewing would be only for a limited time but it was much much longer which allowed all his friends time to say goodbye. Todd didn’t have to do that and that’s something that touched our hearts and we will never forget that huge gesture of kindness. One last thing that must be mentioned and that’s the hard work and dedication of Jessica McFerrin, James Jackson Matt Van Deventer who prepare the bodies for viewing and cremation. These are the people behind the scene who don’t get the praise or recognition they deserve.
