My mother passed away recently and she had a membership with the Neptune Society. My contact with the society was with Jason, and he was extremely courteous, professional and caring. I also liked that we could text each other for follow-up questions. Jason was very prompt with replies and incredibly helpful through this difficult time. I absolutely recommend this service.

I wanted to give Jason Costin accolades on his outstanding and caring service! My husband passed on June 24th, 2019. Jason had him picked up within 45 minutes, and handled all the arrangements with no worries to me! Jason was kind, compassionate, and very professional! I am especially grateful when he personally delivered my husband’s cremains to Lake Okeechobee, 2 hours away from Fort Myers. His wife is my ex daughter in law, and Jason has always been a part of our family! He went the extra mile plus more! I must say he is an asset to your company! I will let others know about Jason’s service! Sincerely, Karen S.

Shannon was amazing in helping our family with the unexpected passing of my father. She not only helped guide us through the proceeds and was such a gentle and supportive person for us during and after everything was finalized. She went above and beyond and was flexible in the meeting times and patient with all of my questions and concerns. Thank you so much for everything you have done, it means more than you will ever know!

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.
