I worked with Johnna for the cremation of my uncle. I had never heard of them, but a victim’s advocate told me to call them. She was very helpful from beginning to end.
She did a lot of “extras” for me. I will be sure to remember them in the future.

Thank you to Jason Costin and his staff at the FT. Myers office of the Neptune Society. He was warm, caring and kind during a very difficult time when my mom died. Things were handled via email or phone to save me travel and inconvenience during the difficult days after her immediate passing which was a Godsend. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you again Jason-may you be blessed as you continue in your journey of helping others during some of the most difficult circumstances one can find themselves in. It is a special gift to be able to deal with the immediate grief of the loved ones who remain and provide such a professional service.

I highly recommend Neptune Society for handling your cremation services. My husband passed away unexpectedly and I was at a loss as to what to do. Fortunately, we had called Michelle Embree to meet with us a few years ago to arrange our final wishes. She was very thorough in explaining the program. When my husband passed we called Neptune Society and they arranged everything for me. We met with Emily Kievet who explained everything in words my heartbroken mind could absorb. She was very caring and talked to me and my family with a soothing, sincere attitude and always calls with an update. I highly recommended Neptune Society for preplanning your final wishes.

When my mom passed away, it is hard enough dealing with my personal emotions. My mom’s wishes were to be cremated, so my brother and I followed her wishes and contacted Neptune. Amy was very comforting and made us feel like my mother was just as important to them as she was to me. Throughout the burial and grieving process, Elizabeth has contacted me on several occasions to offer help and grief consoling. All of which I never thought they’d do or even have to do. If you or your loved one wishes are to be cremated, I STRONGLY recommend the Neptune Society 🙂

My mother in law contacted Neptune back in the ’90s to sign up for her arrangements and paid in full. She passed in November 2019. We contacted Neptune they came out within an hour of calling them. Very professional and curious men that showed up. All my experiences with Neptune has been nothing but excellent. Kristina Woody has been the best. She has helped me and kept me informed of ALL the processes that needed to be done. She calls and gives me updates. Great customer service. Even though my mother in law paid in full years ago, they held to that contract and the only things I had to pay for were the death certificates if I wanted more. I highly recommend this company for your loved ones. Thank you!
