Carolyn, I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all of your help during this difficult time. Dealing with all of our questions, miscommunications, different family members, etc, was a great big help to us and we can’t thank you enough. Thank you for taking care of my father and easing our anxiety. Our appreciation is great and we’ll never forget it.

Ana Hernandez and the staff at the San Pedro, CA location handled my wife’s arrangements with the utmost professionalism and accommodation. Thank you again to everyone for your patience, help, and understanding. They returned my many phones calls promptly as I live in Las Vegas and my wife who was in long-term care passed away in California. They were nice enough to have my grandson pick up some of her ashes and bring them to his mother (my stepdaughter) and mail the rest to me in an urn which I have received as I have trouble driving a long distance. Excellent customer service. Both of my parents were handled by The Neptune Society. I had prepaid my wife’s arrangements. I have made prearrangements for myself. Of course, I highly recommend The Neptune Society. Thank you again.

I’m relieved to have my final arrangements pre-made so that my adult children won’t have to have that concern upon my demise. This process was straightforward, made palatable by the staff, (Lynne, specifically), and reasonably priced, with the option of monthly payments.

Many people experience emotional trauma and
