Having everything in place through prearrangements with the Neptune Society helped to minimize the stress of an already difficult time when my husband passed peacefully at home. The two staff members who handled the transport were compassionate and respectful to the family and treated our loved one with utmost dignity. Funeral Director Sarah S. was a joy to work with and couldn’t have made the administrative details any easier. A sincere thank you to Sarah and the team.

Quick, polite, easy transaction. No haggling, I told them our family was in dire straights financially, and wanted only the bare minimum of cremation, and have the ashes returned to the family. I found these people to be professional and courteous. I was able to handle the details over the phone, from out of state, in 15 minutes, leaving my father-in-law with having only to drive over to fill out the paperwork. They also accepted payment from two different family members over the phone. Marsha and Christina are highly recommended by my family.
