I am new to the cremation world. I recently lost my husband of 18 years who specifically wanted cremation. Every single employee was thoughtful kind and focused on what my family needed. The process when prepaid is exceptionally simple and takes all of the pressure off the survivors. I am so happy my late husband and I chose Neptune Society.

Even though I lived a thousand miles from my late wife, Carolyn Roberson did an excellent job of keeping me informed on my wife’s cremation. Her ashes were quickly mailed to me undamaged. I thank you all for doing a wonderful job.

Neptune Cremation Society had been chosen several years ago, to handle the arrangements for my brother-in-law’s passing. He was in a nursing facility in NJ, and I live in California. When my brother-in-law died, the staff made one phone call, and within a few hours, I had a call from Alvin Chan that put my mind at ease. Being so far away was difficult, but Mr. Chan was so compassionate and professional. He answered all my questions, made appropriate suggestions when necessary, and made a difficult time easier than I could have expected.

I could not imagine more professional, efficient or compassionate help when dealing with the recent loss of a friend who’d asked me to take care of their final arrangements. Starting with only a phone number for me to call, Alvin Chan was helpful in every way, and above and beyond with every step of my friend’s journey, from his home, and now on toward his final resting place. The attendants who came to help my friend start his journey from his home were dedicated, caring, respectful and always conscious of both my friend and myself. From there, all the paperwork was made simple for me and easy to accomplish. Everything was carefully explained, all while keeping in mind the emotional impact such details contained. Thank you.

This is the kind of service you rarely come by- it really makes a huge impact when you are going through loss. Allyse was super- so communicative and reassuring during every step in the process. She has a calm and peace about her that just gives you a sense of comfort. We are grateful for every way that Neptune made this process easier to get through. We have seen the worth of having a plan in place for our families and more than that, having people and a place of worth that will be sincere and compassionate in the worst of times. Thank you Allyse for your true customer care throughout, your calls and communication about everything were truly appreciated. Because of you, Neptune has already been recommended to those around us!

When we made our arrangements with Neptune several years ago, we knew that our satisfaction would only be realized once one of us passed away. I have no regrets. Neptune was professional and considerate after my husband passed and my family was glad we had chosen this as we grieved the loss of husband, father, and grandfather.

Thank you, Sara. You helped my sister and myself in making arrangements for our brother who passed away August 19th. Your kindness and taking time with us to explain options was made a difficult situation much easier. We think you went beyond just doing your job to help us with directions to places we needed to find and helping us with other information we needed. God Bless you and the others in your offices whose friendliness and helpfulness is greatly appreciated by me and my family
