      My Mother ***** ******* bought a plan years ago sadly my Mom passed May 7th. 2025 ****** had provided me with holding the contract and receipts.We contacted Neptune for the cremation. They said they had no paperwork for her. I then sent them copies of a contract and fees for an urn and garden spreading of ashes. During this grieving time was forced to do a new contract could not have the cremation without it. Of course it delayed everything. I was told they no longer provide spreading of ashes in gardens. I was also told they do not give refunds. Again I asked for the **************************** to be refunded. We had to -pick the ashes up in ********* an hour drive. There were no urns. Its been two months with no resolve. They now say they do provide spreading of ashes but not in *****. They say they want to provide an urn we had my ************* on June 8th and spread her ashes. The new contract has no urn or spreading of ashes.

      As stated before no check was ever submitted to me. I guess there stalling? I last spoke with someone there first week in July they were still denying the refund so how could they have sent a check out in June. There being untruthful.

I have called them in ****** *** 25, June 3, 9 and 16 spoken with ******* and *******, explained my account concerns and requested a statement of my account. I have not had any response at all and there is no other number or email that I can find to contact this business.

      This company sent me a letter, completely unsolicited, regarding cremation services. I have never heard of or communicated with this company. I have no need or want of such services. I am irritated that they would send such advertisements with my NAME on it (again, how did they receive my name and address in the first place when I haven't even heard of them!?!?) as if I had reached out regarding services. This is terrible business practice, especially being with the line of work this company is in.

      I made arrangements with the Neptune Society in ***********, ** in October 2024. When I signed up I had to give my debit card information to pay for the first payment. Since that time I had been going online to *************** to make payments. Recently not only is *************** taking money out of my account, but now *********************** (a subsidiary of ***************) is also taking payments out of my account. I left a complaint with *************** but have heard nothing. I have been unable to contact Forethought. When I contacted Neptune Society they told me there was nothing they could do but if I gave them my bank information the issue would be resolved. I refuse to give anyone my bank information. I want both Global and Forethought to CEASE and DESIST taking any monies out of my account. This is theft and fraud on the parts of all involved.

      On 9/3/2015 I purchased a preneed funeral agreement plan for my ****************** ******* ********, **. in the amount of $1029.41. On 9/23, 2015 I received a letter from President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. *** *********. Thanking me for entrusting neptune society with my arrangements. I was told, in this letter the following: that my plan would be protected and my wishes honored with the dignity I deserve. that my sense of responsibility in taking care of this important matter is admirable, that I've done much to "ease the burden on my loved ones later". Here's my favorite line in the entire letter "This letter confirms your plan acceptance." My brother *** bless his soul, passed away 2/26/25. To date, I have been juggled by every sales department team leader, trying to get me to pay in full the policy I was financing for myself. Someone, combined our contracts together, mine into his. i was told on 3/17/25 by ********* ********** that the letter I received from the president of the company in 2015, was "just a welcome letter, and I need to pay $713.00 in full and then they will schedule the cremation. My brother's body has been in a freezer since 2/26/25. two weeks ago he was taken to the ****************** Services facility located at ********************************* Wheatridge, ** *****. The ONLY reason why he hasn't been cremated, is because they want me to pay for the financed account that I was purchasing for myself, and had notified them of my cancellation of the contract, due to financial reasons, they NEVER sent me the forms to sign and return to "legally" cancel MY contract. which they included in my brothers contract. IT IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING THAT THEY TREAT PEOPLE THIS WAY. THEY HAVE BASICALLY HELD AND ARE HOLDING MY BROTHERS BODY FOR ******, IN THE AMOUNT OF $713.00. This behavior is debilitating on me to say the least. How can they FIX this situation? HONOR THE PAID FOR CONTRACT. we're going on a month since he passed and they want more money.

      After having spoken with ***** **********, office worker, *** the office coordinator  and eventually ********* the office manager, who advised me, since I refused to pay them any more money for anything else. Especially since they couldn't seem to say EXACTLY what the $713.07 was to pay for. And by their OWN admission that they were holding his body hostage in order to get more money from me. That according to *********, I could take my business somewhere else.  When I said "Oh, so you can keep the money I've already paid to your company?"  The answer back was Yes.

      To date,  I've never heard from the company president,  or anyone from the corporate office to address my concerns, NOR to honor the paid for contract for my ****************** W. ********, Jr.

      Satisfactory response? DEFINITELY NOT. IT'S AN INSULT! They have no intentions of addressing this matter, as I've attempted to reach the president's office since February 26th of this year. They were more concerned with letting the funeral service owner I'm now working with, Ms.  **** *****, that I signed for and am responsible for a $1,275.78 cherry urns. I've never signed for, nor have I ever seen personally this urns. Not to mention would I pay that much for one. YET, this urn is INCLUDED in their Neptune Memento package, according to the paperwork they gave to me.

      After having looked at the retail merchandise agreement again, they are attempting to charge me the EXACT SAME AMOUNT for an URN as the ENTIRE contract - which was the one for myself that was canceled, totaled up to. Isn't that an ODD coincidence. Going to make me pay for a contract that I let them know I wasn't interested in paying for. It has already been canceled.
