My Uncle, aged 100 passed away and had left one of the best gifts for his family…pre-arrangements for his cremation and burial at the National Cemetery in Lake Worth, Florida through the Neptune Society. Since I had to move him across the state after he turned 100 I didn’t know what would happen. Since we were within 75 miles of the Cemetery we were able to have Neptune Fort Myers make all the arrangements. Roger De Franco helped to make a difficult time much less stressful with his professionalism, expertise, and guidance. Everything was able to be completed over the phone and electronically- seamless and effortless. I would recommend him and the Neptune Society to everyone in need.

My sister and I walked into the Neptune Society office, without an appointment, to inquire about their services. We were lucky enough to have Kelly Haman available to assist us. Ms. Haman inquired as to what services we were interested in, she explained what services Neptune offered and gave us time to discuss our wishes. At no time did Ms. Haman try to sway our decision. She was pleasant, respectful and professional throughout our dealings with Neptune. She continued to be available to answer our questions after they completed their services we selected. Ms. Haman not only met but exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend the Neptune Society West Covina office.

When Neptune Society says they will take care of you, believe them. In this difficult time of loss, they are caring, informative, and respectful during the entire process. When the family or spouse is dealing with the loss, and arranging for the next steps seems too great of a task to think about, Neptune takes care of it all for you. My parents purchased a pre-need plan years before they would need it, and when the time came to use it, we weren’t sure what to expect from them. Boy were we happy they had the forethought to plan this ahead of time. Our whole experience was positive with exceptional service. We were lucky to have Sarah Sebby from their Downers Grove office take care of us every step of the way. She was absolutely wonderful. I would recommend this company to everyone.

Our folks had made pre-arrangements with the Neptune Society for their final wishes. It was a huge relief to have had this done and when we did need the Neptune Society for my Father, Robert Lynn, everything went flawlessly. Julie was a pleasure to work with and made sure that every detail was taken care of. Highly recommend! It makes us aware that we need to do the same for our children.

The Neptune Society of Ft Myers took of my friends’ husband. They took care of everything from start to finish with the last resting place for her husband being a scattering at sea. The Neptune Society and its staff are a first-class operation. The Funeral Director Roger De Franco did an excellent job translating Spanish to English because my friend doesn’t speak English but her children mainly understand English thank Mr. Defranco for making a hard time a little easier.
