The Neptune Society team in Arizona was the perfect group to help us through our loss. Losing our mom was incredibly devastating. There were so many unknowns for us as this was our first significant loss as a family. Susan and Ramon at Neptune in Tempe Arizona were incredible. They stepped in to answer questions, to guide us, and to help us with each next step. As a result, our family was able to honor our mom and grieve our loss. They made us feel like we were the only family they were working with. We will definitely work with Neptune Society in the future.

Highly positive experience with Susan Rogalski and her team. We were most impressed with her professionalism, caring manner, and her ability to calm us during the most stressful of times with the loss of my wife’s brother and my brother-in-law. We were most impressed with her skills in efficiently tending to the processing of cremation for my wife’s brother; but also for the burial at the National Cemetery for him and also his wife who had died 20 years previously. To sum up: the highest level of excellence and most appropriately deserving of five stars!

George Martinez did a great job of explaining all aspects of the program to me. I was impressed with the scope of the services and now all my dedicated POA needs to do is to place one phone call. One aspect I didn’t expect but was delighted with was the ability to have your remains collected no matter where you are in the world.

When you lose a loved one, family and grieving are the focus. To put the additional stress of handling the burial remains and transportation to and from the crematorium can be tough. Make the right decision and simplify the process. Have used the Neptune society in the past to handle the passing of my Uncle and Aunt. Was able to handle the joining of the two sets of ashes and the scattering on the water at their special place in the ocean. My wife and I planned our cremation and there will be a party at our scattering. Can’t be better than that.

My mother and father, who both died many years back, had bought Neptune Society services. Everything went so smoothly that I don’t even remember it–just that there was no problem of any sort. When my husband and I were approaching solvency (both teachers), buying the plan with you was one of our first moves. Since we hoped to travel after retirement, we spent extra to assure service abroad if required. Having the assurance of belonging to Neptune has made our frequent travels much more pleasant, knowing that our daughter can bypass the messiness and grief of planning anything but a little memorial if she pleases. I won’t say I’m looking forward to using your services (or having them used on my behalf), but knowing that they are waiting for us is very reassuring.

The sudden passing of my mother was difficult and emotionally draining. Lisa was my guardian angel that made my mother’s services special, sacred, and deeply meaningful.

Everything you did for us was amazing.

No one ever wants to research a cremation center right after a loved one dies suddenly, but I am glad I found Lisa Gregor! I was in a different city when my loved one passed away and I was distraught and lost. The medical examiner was of no help at all and I was desperate in getting my loved one away from them. I stepped Lisa and took the lead immediately to get things started. She was empathetic to my situation and throughout the ENTIRE process was my champion with the different avenues that you have to travel down suddenly. She was knowledgeable, helpful, compassionate to my grief, and was willing to go any distance to make sure my loved one got the proper religious rights respected in these horrible times. I truly want to thank her for making a gut-wrenching situation into a more tolerable one when she kept me informed of the next steps throughout the process. Lisa is invaluable!! I truly thank her and the entire team at Neptune. Truly Lisa, thank you for all you did for me and my loved one.

The people at Neptune Society walked me through the process with regards to uncle’s passing from the beginning to the end. Anytime I reached out with a question they always responded in a timely manner with the answer to my question. When you can call someone on their cell phone on their off day or when they are dealing with their own personal life that speaks a lot to the dedication and care they have for their clients. That goes a long way for me personally!!!

Thank you, Lisa, on behalf of my uncle and myself, for making our incredible sad devastation a little bit brighter. My aunt was healthy, active, and athletic before COVID-19 got a hold of her. It was so painful for my uncle and family because we were not able to comfort her by holding her hand, hugging her and kissing her goodbye after she was admitted to the ER due to the restrictions of the virus.

We wanted to personally thank you Lisa for the extraordinary effort you made to allow my uncle to say goodbye to his amazing wife. He was complimentary on how my aunt looked just the way he remembered her. My uncle also felt a sense of relief and closure that he thought would never take place due to the restrictions placed on the coronavirus patients,

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us say goodbye and offering us a chance to heal with dignity and compassion.

My experience with the Neptune Society exceeded my expectations!!  It’s hard to lose someone and I lost a Fill in Mom, Friend, Partner in Crime, Housemate for many years, and someone that loved me unconditionally.  Her name was Betty (aka GMAW) and she and her husband Jake joined the Neptune Society in 1989.  Jake passed away in 1999 and the Neptune Society was our saving grace then, just as it was when Betty passed.  She passed away about 2 AM and I was told the Neptune Society arrived to pick her up by 4 AM.  I received a call from Joanna Dewey that afternoon and she was kind, compassionate, professional, calm and she listened!!  I couldn’t have asked for more!!  I would highly recommend The Neptune Society!! Additionally, the request was put in long ago that Betty’s Ashes would be returned to me, just as Jake’s were.  Jake is out to sea in Maui and I will take Betty to the same location.

Thank you all – Neptune Society and a very special thanks to Joanna (Jody) Dewey.

We had no idea what to expect or what we should do. Ronaldo, you were very knowledgeable and compassionate.
You arranged for an honor guard at his “life celebration” (that ceremony was extremely touching), you took care of all the paperwork and you sent his ashes to my son’s home in California. You did all this with a gentle, caring spirit.
I am very pleased with everything you did and I would not hesitate to recommend you to my friends. Thank you.

On behalf of the family of SSG Reynaldo N., we would like to thank John Greeney at the Thornydale location in Tucson, AZ for helping set up Military Honors for our Father’s services on such short notice.

He handled our Father’s arrangements with such compassion and gave our father the dignity of respect and the honors he deserved at his services. John really helped make a very difficult time in our lives a lot easier to get through.

I would like to thank John Greeney and the Neptune Society for taking care of EVERYTHING after my mother’s passing and honoring HER wishes.   When it was obvious that mom would be transitioning to her next life, I contacted John because mom had joined the Neptune Society.  He walked me through the entire process and told me what to do when she did pass.  Everything was carried out efficiently and smoothly.   Mom’s cremains were shipped to my brother in PA and John arranged her internment with my father at a Veteran’s Cemetery.  John also emailed a reminder list of issues survivors might need to address:   contacting pension plans, insurance companies and so forth.

John answered all my phone calls promptly and courteously; was always compassionate and informative.   He and the Neptune Society made a difficult time so much easier than it might have been.   And, my brother and I were very grateful that mom’s wishes were being followed.    We are very appreciative and recommend John Greeney and the Neptune Society very highly!

I want to mention that Neptune Society was amazing. My father lived in Arizona and I live in Northern CA. So my dad’s remains had to be shipped. The mail carrier went against protocol. When I informed the Neptune Society they were outraged and stepped up and fought for the respect my dad deserved. My dad is safe with me. Again, I want to make clear the Neptune Society did everything correct and proper on their end, and what happened had nothing to do with them. Their promptness was heartwarming.

Years ago I met one of the sales representatives at a Chamber of Commerce event, he was very nice and full of information. I set up an appointment… then purchased a package for my Mother whom at that time was in assisted care. A number of years later after her package was paid for she passed. I made one call and the rest was taken care of with grace and sympathy. It was very hard on me after my Mother passed, but I was so happy with the Tucson Neptune Society’s office and the way they handled my Mothers cremation that I purchased my own package, so when I pass my children will just make one call and the rest will be taken care of.
Thank you!!

Recently I became a member of the Neptune Society. After checking out a few places I decided that Neptune was the place for me for pre-arrangements. When I phoned in for information I spoke with Kelly ** from the Tucson, AZ, office. She was friendly, caring, helpful and she offered to come to my home to introduce me to Neptune. She was thorough in her presentation and gave me plenty of time to ask the questions I wanted to have answers for. For me, it is important that I have the relocation plan that Neptune offers. As I was told, my member cards arrived in the mail within a couple of weeks as well as the beautiful, well-made box for the remains. I am happy I have made this decision and pleased to have it taken care of so my family will not have to add this to their to-do list upon my passing.

I can’t say anything but good things about Neptune. When my husband died, they were there right away. They treated his body reverently, got him ready for transport, and then gave me time with him to say good-bye. They made all of the arrangements for the cremains, ordered an honor guard for the memorial services, and treated me and my family with the greatest respect and sympathy. I recommend Neptune to anyone who is considering cremation. These people are professionals.

I have nothing but good things to say about Neptune Society. We’ve been thinking about cremation services and there was a box that said, “Check to see about veteran’s benefits.” I did that and we got started with them. Their preplanning service was handy and convenient, and it worked out. The rep who I worked with was great. I enjoyed talking with her as she offered hope. I was also impressed with her because she explained the process to me as we went along and I was happy with that. Since my wife was cremated here in Phoenix, Arizona and her remains were shipped to Oregon, I thought that it would get screwed up, but it didn’t. Everything worked just the way Neptune said it would–no screw-ups, no added cost, and no hidden fees. I would recommend Neptune to anybody who wants to pre-plan their demise.

At a time when you can’t think, your head hurts from crying so much, it’s nice to have this taken care of beforehand by your loved one who cared enough about you to do it in advance.

My experience with Neptune began with Jessica Ireland, who helped my wife and me choose the best plan. My wife died at home. One call from the hospice nurse to Neptune and they took care of all the rest. I should mention that the people from the mortuary were professional and treated my wife’s body with care and respect.
My wife was cremated, her remains sent to a veteran’s cemetery in Oregon. Neptune made all the arrangements; there were no complications, no hidden costs, no “screw-ups.” They did exactly what they said they would do. I was kept informed throughout the process by Jody (Joanna) Dewey. whose kindness, compassion and personal conversations I shall never forget. Thank you, Neptune.

Jody, The death of my wife, Jura, has brought sadness and a depth of grief and despair beyond anything I could have imagined. Your kindness and understanding and help have brought some light to the darkest moment of my life. I’m glad I asked to what you owed your positive attitude. Your answer, “It’s a God thing “, is something I’ll never forget because it was simple, yet profound. Thank you for helping me through this and “best wishes”.

We bought our plans with Neptune Society 11 years ago and I was very gratified that they have it down to such an art. I literally spent 20 minutes with the representative there. He had his checklist all ready, asked me all the questions that they already knew needed to be asked, and what I needed as far as death certificates went very painlessly. It was all very simple and very respectful, and I’d recommend them highly.

I want to personally thank for making Neptune Society a wonderful vehicle for getting through Linda’s passing. Your coordination with Casa de la Luz was seamless and you had all the decisions and alternatives laid out in specific detail to make this process much more peaceful than I thought it ever could ever be. You already have me as the next client in our family and I’d like to know what you need, now that I am alone, to make the stress on my family as low stress as Linda’s passing was.

I would just like to thank the Neptune Society for helping us with the passing of my brother.
John Greeney was the Neptune Society representative that looked after us. He explained everything to us concerning the cremation and arrangements for the military funeral service so we knew what to expect. He even arranged a Pastor to speak at the funeral as my brother didn’t have a church that he attended regularly. He always responded quickly to my text messages, emails and phone calls. I cannot stress how grateful we are for how well John assisted us. Once again, I would just like to thank the Neptune Society for helping us during a difficult time.

Losing my dad has been the hardest thing I’ve had to do. My brothers and sister, our children, we were all lost, leaning on each other and devastated. We were not expecting this, so there were no arrangements made. Through a friend, we found the Neptune Society, and they have been a Godsend to this grieving family. They handled everything for us, worked with us on our ever-changing plans, put up with our loud, boisterous family. All of the little details required by the state can sometimes mean mistakes happen. Ron and his team were amazing at quietly, with no muss, no fuss fixing any mistakes that happen. We owe Ron at Neptune in Tempe huge debt of gratitude for getting us through the hardest days of our family’s lives so far.

The Neptune Society is a top notch operation. John Greeney, handled every detail without having me check up on anything. He handled it in a timely manner and followed up until all was completed.

I looked at a lot of cremation service providers and Neptune Society has the same price as everybody else. It wasn’t less expensive, but it was the best choice. Their rep did a stunning job of explaining it all without pressuring us to do anything and I felt like it included the things that we needed. He had a very nice presentation folder that made it very clear. We went through the preplanning service with him and he explained what the benefits were. We asked a lot of questions and he had answers for all of them.

One of the things that really cinched it for me was that the funeral home and Smart Cremation both said that all of our children will have to sign off in order for this to happen but we didn’t have to do that with Neptune. That’s important for us because our family didn’t blend well. They don’t really know each other because we were well into our adult years when we married. We’ve only been married 27 years and we’re in our 70’s so all of our kids have grown up and had their own lives and gone their own ways. The rep just had us write on the agreement form that none of them could change this and that was important to us as well. We wanted the whole cremation thing to be easy and we accomplished that. I am very happy and we’re very pleased with the plan. We have even told everybody that we know that it’s a great plan.

We used Neptune for my wife’s mother. She had wanted to be cremated. And so, Nancy followed through with it and we cremated her mom. When we finished everything, I got a hold of Neptune and set it up. I started making payments for my wife when she passed away in June. And Neptune handled everything. It’s amazing how family-friendly and professional they are. I talked with their agent, set it up and then when it came time, they made it so easy. It was no hassle at all, which is what I think is fantastic for people who’ve already got stress and grief. I would definitely recommend Neptune to anyone. In fact, we have told many family members and friends that talk about cremation. We told them, “Don’t even waste your time talking to anyone else. Go straight to Neptune.”

I recently lost my Mother unexpectedly. Truly the hardest days, weeks and now months I’ve faced but Mom had decided on cremation so we elected to use Neptune and I can sincerely say the Customer Service Pam gave was outstanding. So patient and she made you feel as though you were life long friends. She was prompt, courteous, a good listener, understanding just to mention a few of her qualities. I’d highly recommend Neptune Society to anyone facing making a decision so hard.

Ronado Maynez of the Phenix/Tempe, AZ office  helped us step-by-step for all of the details that are so painful at a time like this. We were overwhelmed with the courtesy, care and very personal help we received.

We never expected such attention to detail, genuine concern for what Bernie would have wanted and the emotional support for our whole family at a very difficult time. Thank you very much for all that you have done for our beloved Bernie Scarborough.  Sincerely, Marianne, Ken & Raye and Ron Scarborough.

My mother is 99 and has pre-planning service with Neptune Society and they have been so good and kind to her. So when my husband died suddenly, I decided to go with them since I had the experience with them and I knew the process. The people were wonderful and they really went out their way to help me. But reading all of these disclaimers and stuff right after my husband had passed away really upset me especially some paragraphs that sat me over the top. There should be another way to word it. Other than that, It’s a comfort to know that when my mother passes, it’s done and I don’t have to worry about filling out 10 to 12 pages that I did with my husband.

As a church professional who regularly interfaces with families who have lost loved ones, I often recommend the Neptune Society. They provide kind and efficient burial services at a reasonable cost. I am such a firm supporter that Neptune has managed the cremation of both of my parents. Most recently, Susan Rogalski not only did an excellent job coordinating my mother’s burial but also took her time to learn about our family and fulfill our special requests. We send our gratitude to the Phoenix team of Neptune Society.

Today I signed up to be a member of the Neptune Society.

January 16, 2016, was one of the worst days of my life. I got a call that my younger brother passed. I knew he was a member of the Neptune Society and he had pre-planned and prepaid. He had told me previously he had taken care of everything and was he ever right.

When I made the first call to Neptune Society, Donald Cline, was the one who answered the phone. Not only was he extremely compassionate and efficient, but he totally took care of EVERYTHING! He even offered to pick me up at the airport!

Donald was in constant contact with me during the whole process, even calling me when other family members intervened.

At every point in this difficult time, Donald thought about and took care of all our needs and questions.

Although cremation prices might be similar, services might be similar, the care that I received at this time was above and beyond anything that I could have imagined and made this sad process more manageable. My brother’s membership covered ALL costs and there were no other financial charges.

Thank you, Donald Cline and Neptune Society for doing exactly what my brother wanted to be done, in an exemplary way and making my difficult situation more bearable.

Places to Scatter Ashes in Arizona

grand-canyon

Grand Canyon National Park

If your loved one was an adventurous soul, consider scattering their ashes amid the dramatic beauty of the Grand Canyon National Park in northwest Arizona. The natural beauty of the Grand Canyon is undeniable. Over thousands of years, the Colorado River has cut into the surrounding rock to create the Grand Canyon, a slice in the Colorado Plateau hundreds of miles long and up to a mile deep. In order to legally scatter in the Grand Canyon, all you have to do is print out this permit on this page and call the number at the bottom of that page to provide the name of the person scattering the ashes, where the scattering will occur, and when it will occur.

heavenly-flight

Heavenly Flight

For a loved one who always wanted to fly or was always a free spirit, a Heavenly Flight may be the best way to scatter their ashes. Heavenly Flight is a family-owned company in Phoenix that flies over landmarks in Arizona including Sedona, the Grand Canyon, and Monument Valley to scatter ashes. Simply determine where you would like the scattering to take place and contact the company to schedule an aerial scattering.

saguaro

Saguaro National Park

To scatter ashes amidst a thriving desert, it’s difficult to find a better spot than Saguaro National Park. Towering Saguaro cacti dominate the landscape, and towering mountains lie up against the horizon to give a pristine picture of what the West looked like when it was untouched. To scatter here, simply apply for a Special Use Permit. The park asks that ashes be scattered so they blend in with the natural earth and that they are scattered out of sight of designated trails and roadways.

Additional Notes on Scattering Cremated Remains in Arizona

Arizona law allows you to scatter ashes over uninhabited public land with permission/a permit, over a public waterway or sea, or on private property of a consenting owner. If scattering at sea you must be at least 3 nautical miles from land, notify the EPA within 30 days of scattering, and avoid beaches and wading pools. You must obtain a permit to scatter on federal land. You can also scatter the ashes, but NOT the container, from the air as the government doesn’t consider cremains to be hazardous material. If the container isn’t biodegradable you must remove the ashes from the container before scattering.

Arizona Cremation FAQs

What happens if you can’t pay for funeral services in Arizona?

Arizona faces the unique issue of handling the remains not only of their own state but also those of illegal immigrants, making it the state with the 3rd highest number of unidentified remains. Each county handles their unclaimed deceased differently. Many counties, including those that border with Mexico, are favoring cremating the unclaimed instead of burying them because the cost of purchasing new land for cemeteries has grown to be too much for the counties to cover. Cremated remains are often stored in niches instead within a cemetery.

However, there are many ongoing projects to help reduce the number of unidentified remains in Arizona. DNA samples and other information is often kept with the urn to help families find lost loved ones. For more information about some of these projects, see this article.

What is state cremation rate?

Arizona cremation rate is 68.2%, according to 2020 CANA Annual Report.

What veterans benefits are available in Arizona?

The VA benefits provided (at no cost to the family) include a grave site; opening and closing of the grave; perpetual grave site care; a government headstone or market; and United States burial flag that can be draped over the casket or accompany the urn (and is given to the next of kin after the service); an engraved presidential memorial certificate signed by the current sitting President, expressing the country’s grateful recognition of their service.

How many funeral homes are available in Arizona?

There are 148 funeral homes in 60 cities of Arizona.
