Looking for a reputable funeral home. If you can recommend a funeral home, I would appreciate it. I think we may prefer a locally-owned, reputable business over a chain.

The Neptune Society is a low rent cremation deal for people that just want to be cremated and have their ashes sent to their families in a box.Harry Lime said:
I like all the ambiguous names that funeral and cremation companies use. My dad recently received an invitation in the mail to attend a luncheon for prospective members of the prestigious "Neptune Society." Upon further reading, it don't look like my kind of party.
