I work in the hospice industry and routinely get asked about end of life services. Recently I was spending time with the wife of a dying husband and we were just looking at Facebook together, while her husband slept. (Sometimes I just stay and chat with the family because its so hard on them to watch their loved one die). What a coincidence that we had been discussing her options about burial and cremation. Her husband had said (one of the first things he said to me when I met him a few months back) was that he wanted the cheapest option, because as he put it, I cant complain anyway. Nevertheless, when we saw the video for Neptune and how friendly Sarah looked, my client decided to call. She later told me that it wasnt as bad as she thought it was going to be, and that Sarah helped her with everything and made her feel welcomed and cared for. That it wasnt about making money on her grief. She said everything turned out great. Since then I have referred another to Neptune and I appreciate that they are in good hands when its time to hand my families off. I felt compelled to write this because this client of mine was very dear to my heart, really really sad, and I worried about her. But I talked to her again today, and she said she is going much better, and is so relieved that everything turned out so well and her Kids and all the family who attended the funeral were able to grieve without worrying about the arrangements. Thank you Neptune and thank you Sarah for taking care of one of my favorites.

Everyone we have referred to Sarah at the Downers Grove Neptune Societys Cremation Services have come back to tell us how conforting it was to work with Sarah. She handles the entire cremation process form start to finish and is super diligent about respecting the final wishes of your loved one and your surviving family. I have heard many great stories from Hospice workers who have worked with this cremation service as well. Thanks for taking care of our community!

This place was incredible.My mom had planned on using Neptune Society so the process was already in the works. Sarah Sebby was so unbelievably helpful and professional. I had absolutely no clue what to do or where to start if not her her I’d be completely lost. She definitely guided me in the right direction. This facility is so much more than a cremation service, they really do so much more helping than expected.I thank you guys so much for everything that you were able to piece together.

The knowledge, compassion and willingness to help during such a difficult time was greatly appreciated. Sarah kept us informed every step of the way and made sure we understood everything. She was patient and caring from the beginning. We purchased our package for our mother years ago and didnt really know what to expect and I am so glad we did. A great choice.

After watching the Facebook video about the brother and sister and seeing how friendly Sarah looked, I called Neptune to have Sarah help my best friend. Sarah took care of all the cremation paperwork and made things very easy. She also provided her with a ton of useful information that someone needs to know when navigating the loss of a loved one, like all the things that someone needs the death certificate for (several I would have never thought of), and how to file for social security death benefits. My best friend told me that everything was so clean and perfect and the staff, especially Sarah made this so much easier than they ever thought. Everyone involved, all her family said it was all done properly and with dignity and honor. I am so glad I saw the Facebook video and referred my friend. Thank you Neptune, you just dont know the difference you make!

A family member passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, and we were at a loss of what to do. I remember thinking about whether I should arrange for a burial or look to cremation. While I was posting on my facebook account the sad news, coincidentally I saw a video for the Neptune Society right here in Downers Grove. l thought..thats a weird coincidence, so I checked them out on Google and saw that they had nothing but great reviews and we called them. I must say that Sarah was very kind, and helped is to understand what a great option cremation can be. I realize its not for everyone, we have always done traditional burial, but this death was so sudden, and we didnt have a plot. Sarah explained that now more than 50% of America chooses cremation and walked us through the ins and outs of it. For us, it wasnt about saving money - for us it was just simply what is the best option for us, right now? That turned out to be, far and away, cremation through Neptune. We highly recommend the Neptune Society in Downers Grove.

Christopher and staff were extremely responsive to all of our questions and concerns. They were very professional and empathetic. The entire process was very easy and I had complete confidence in them. It was my second experience with the Neptune Society and I would not hesitate to recommend them. A very painful time was made so much easier with their help.

Grief causes one to say and do irrational words. Sarah did and awesome job working with me! Planning to purchase two more plans for my son and me.

My mom made arrangements with Neptune Society before her death, so when it happened much sooner than anyone would have expected, like 20 years sooner, it was a relief to have the details already taken care of. I was able to grieve and share memories with family and friends in the days immediately following her death, instead of having to make arrangements and deal with logistics.

At my time of sadness, Sarah was the most empathetic, thoughtful, kind and helpful person. She always responded to help, answer my questions, or just to console me.

My mother set this up by herself and when she passed, the whole experience with Neptune Society was easy and relaxed. Sarah was very warm and empathetic and handle everything wonderfully. Very happy with this and would recommend to anyone.

I was pleasantly surprised everything could be taken care of over the phone. All ad ons from a local funeral home are eliminated. I am relieved my family will not have to make all the decisions in a time of grief.

Every person Ive ever dealt with at Neptune Society has been very helpful and kind. My mom passed away recently and the kindness we experienced when they picked up her body meant the world to us. Just being able to grieve without having to worry about anything in regards to this helped immensely.

After learning my brother had a couple of weeks to live. Hospice was taking care of him and suggested Neptune society. Bobby was retired from the army. He was dieing of dementia. So I called the Neptune society and made arrangements for Bobbys remains. Christopher at Downers Grove was very good and understanding. He handle everything to the T. I am very happy, that my brother was taken care of. My wife and I thank God that their is a place can do this. Kenneth Fudala

My Mother paid for her services in advance. The day she passed away it gave me great comfort knowing that she would be in great hands with the staff at Neptune Society. Christopher stayed in constant contact with me until she was back home with us.My family is at peace and grateful to Neptune Society for their services. Thank you 🙏

Loosing a loved one is a traumatic experience and talking about it before hand was quite morbid; however when the dreaded day came knowing the services were pre-arranged allowed us to focus on the grieving process. Without The Neptune Society we would be stuck in a huge learning curve of requirements and procedures plus the last minute costs that are very expensive. It is such an emotional relief having the support that my parents provided by proactively working with The Neptune Society. RIP Babka and Dedo we love you and miss you so much.

Losing my husband of 50 years has left a hole in my life. Fortunately We was told about the Neptune Society by his brother-in-law. From the first contact their staff were ever present. They came out and met with us. I think it reassured Jack that I would be comforted throughout this process and I was. The ongoing contacts. The grief process for each week I rely on along with my faith. I tell everyone I know about Neptune. It is a blessing in time of loss.

This was such a difficult time in our lives but Christopher Tavonatti made this process seamless. He kept us up to date on each step along the way. He was always informing us about what was next. Ive never experienced customer service like this. This is such a sad time in our lives, so I am thankful for him.

My husband preplanned his cremation about 10 years ago. When he passed away in January, hospice contacted Neptune for me. Their service to me was exceptional. Sarah helped me in so many ways whenMy mind was so confused with all the things that had to be done. This was the best choice my husband could have made.

Sadly, this is the third time in a year and half that Ive interacted with the Downers Grove, IL Neptune Society, after losing both of my elderly parents and recently my Mother-in-law. I cant express how helpful they are during a difficult time. My folks cremations were prearranged, which helped reduce some stress, but they were just as responsive when my Mother-in-law passed suddenly. They made arrangements immediately, were available on the weekend, were empathetic, and very professional. I feel their prices are very fair, their follow up, in particular Chris Tavonattis support, was excellent and took a lot of the burden off our family. I highly recommend the Neptune Society.
