What is the Neptune Society?

Neptune Society offers affordable cremation services and guidance to those who have recently lost a loved one or are planning their own arrangements in advance. If you are responsible for final arrangements for a family member, Neptune Society guides you through the process to help you choose the services that meet your needs and your budget. Neptune Society's goal is to provide dignified and affordable cremation services for grieving families.

Neptune Society works in three basic categories: Planning cremation services, planning the cremation services of a loved one who has passed (or will pass soon) and veteran cremation.

Plan ahead
Neptune Society understands that thinking about and planning for your final arrangements can be emotional, and the company’s employees strive to make it a dignified and thoughtful experience.

Planning a cremation service in advance can save thousands of dollars, and it lets you make decisions when you are in a clear state of mind. Neptune Society can help you understand state-specific information, travel protection, estate planning and other details, such as choosing your memorial keepsake urn.

Does Neptune Society scatter ashes at sea?
No, but they do offer an alternative. The Neptune Society Memorial Reef is an artificial reef off of the coast of Key Biscayne, Florida, and ashes can be scattered there.
When a loved one has died
If someone you loved has passed away, you can report this death to the Neptune Society to have someone reach out to you. You can start the process by entering basic info and payment details. Neptune Society keeps your personal information secure and is available 24/7 to answer questions and provide support.
Veteran memorialization
If you or a loved one has served in the military, you may have specific requests when it comes to your cremation services. Neptune Society offers a free “Veteran Death Benefits and Memorialization Guide” to help you understand your options to honor the veterans in your life and determine if you or a loved one are eligible for veteran-specific memorialization services.
Other services
Along with comprehensive cremation services and planning resources, Neptune Society offers other services to serve families in need. Some of these services include:
  • Immediate-need Services: If a loved one passes away and there is no funeral or cremation plan, Neptune Society can walk you through the immediate details of the cremation process, including reporting the death and helping you gather all of the appropriate information and documentation.
  • Merchandise: Cremation involves choosing a memorial urn to keep your loved one’s ashes in. It offers urns, keepsakes, and jewelry that can be engraved as a personal memento for your loved one. Some of the keepsake urns available include:
    • Eco-friendly scattering boxes
    • Home memorials
    • Burial urns
    • Companion urns
    • Garden memorials
    • Keepsake jewelry

You can learn more about each of these services by filling out the online contact form, enrolling online, or attending a Lunch and Learn event. All options are designed to be casual and no-pressure, so you can gather all of the information and make a confident and informed decision.

    I received notices from the Neptune Society explaining that prices were going up. I contacted the local branch, left a message and no one ever got back to me. This set off my alarms that, at a point where I/we needed help, quite possibly no one would bother getting back to us. At this point, I wouldn't take the chance.

    Recently, our daughter suffered a late term miscarriage (39 weeks) many miles away from us AND from the Neptune Society office in Nashville. During one of the most heartbreaking times of our lives, Opie handled every detail with such kindness, professionalism, and genuine empathy. Despite the distance, Opie's communication was exceptional. Every phone call was made with patience and understanding, and he made us feel like he was right there with us throughout the entire process. Opie treated our entire family like it was his own.

    Opie went above and beyond to ease our stress, accommodate our needs, and ensure everything that needed to be completed was completed in a timely manner. In a time filled with grief and uncertainty, Opie brought calmness, comfort, peace, and reassurance. We will forever be grateful for the extraordinary care he provided our entire family from afar.

      Both my parents prepaid for their Neptune plans in 2013 - when my Father passed in 2022 the process was handled with extreme care and compassion - my mother's was a bit "less" caring in 2025 (more clinical than compassionate - different people handled each one) but was a blessing to have their passings handled quickly and competently. We had our own services and then buried their ashes in the military cemetery near where my father was stationed in 1954. There were minimal "additional fees", but that was due to the county mom passed in - dad did not have that and cost of extra death certificates. Very painless process for a very painful time.

      Well let me start by saying nothing I said was false. James in customer service called me and just straight up said they screwed up and took full responsibility for my experience with Neptune. Very stand up thing he did and issued me a complete refund going above and beyond to satisfy my concerns. Thank you Neptune.

      Original Review: March 30, 2026

      Absolutely the worst customer service. Trying to get a refund or even just talk to someone about it is impossible. They will not call you back and just lie lie lie, saying your hold time is 1 minute. Then was lied to by Selene in the California office about the refund. Do not do business with them, they are shady and liars.

      I sat in a luncheon presentation put on by Neptune Society, twice. Decided to purchase package after the second presentation. Before signing I asked the sales rep if I was buying a life insurance policy to cover cost. Rep said several times I was not, the 3rd party company, I was placing my money with was “just holding the money.” That was a flat out lie. When I received the life insurance policy and the travel plan documents in the mail I decided to cancel within the allowed 30 day period. I don’t like dishonesty and being lied to just to make a sale. So, I contacted the selling office and asked about how to cancel.

      Notice of cancellation forms were provided and returned within the 30 period. Had to talk to several people to get to the “right” person who knew about cancellations. Told it took 7-10 days to receive refund on my credit card because there were third parties involved who had to thoroughly review and process refunds because of the legal documents. The refund for the life insurance payment came through relatively easy. The 10 days have come and gone. The $599 travel plan refund has yet to be seen. Have texted the “right” person about the travel plan refund. Waiting for a response.

      I think Neptune Society and the travel plan provider are stalling. Don’t trust them. To protect myself I have disputed the travel plan charge with my credit card company and provided supporting documents. Should not be that hard or long to get a refund on a properly cancelled contract. Customer service is lacking. Glad I discovered how It works with Neptune Society and the customer service before I actually had to use the service. Won’t do business with them again with this experience under my belt. Liars and dishonest.

      I, being a veteran, inquired about cremation via Neptune Society. Some of the info I got included a direct statement from a Neptune Society representative that "Did you know the VA is burying our service members vertically now?". This was debunked by VA, but turned me away from Neptune Society for good. Lying to get business is unacceptable.

      One year ago today my mother passed. My father had already made all the arrangements for their cremation through Neptune many years prior. When I tell you they made my experience effortless and pleasant. Not only were they amazing at the time of my loved ones passing but even still today I received the most kind message of love and support. Thank You for going the extra mile to help ease folks in their time of grief. I can not say enough good things about this company and the amazing staff they employ. God Bless each one of you. Thank You.

      I spoke with a Neptune Society representative JOHN ** about two days ago, who promised to send an email with more information so that I could make an informed decision. I never received the email and when he called back, informed him that I had gone with another company. He was very rude and abusive, would not let me speak, and ended the conversation. That alone would've made me go with another company, no matter how good the company services were. I suggest that Neptune vet its representatives because they are the face of the company and can influence potential customers for good or for bad.

      I'm giving Neptune a one star review for the simple reason there is no online access for consumers. In this day and age it makes no sense and exhibits a lack of transparency that should make potential customers wary.

      Be very careful in reading and understanding the contract. We were upsold two "add on" items that contradict each other and were told they should not have sold us both items. When my father passed away we were reimbursed for the items. When I contact Neptune about correcting the same items on my Mother's contract I was told we had to wait until she passes to collect the money for the mistake they made on our contract. A very shady business practice.
