  I have tried numerous times to be taken off the mailing list. *** never signed up for them nor do I want their advertisements. My son passed away a little over 5 months ago and it causes me emotional pain to get this mail. Again we never called them about services nor have I at anytime requested it. I want my name removed and the mailings to stop.

  Complaint involves 2 identical Neptune Society cremation plans. One is acct. #************ under ****************************** and the second is acct. #************ under ************************************. Both accounts paid in full the day cntracts were written. Complaint is only for the refund of the Neptune Memento Package for each account. Both Packages have been returned. Both account contracts written on 8-26-2002. Both included the basic package, the away from home coverage and the memento packages. Approx. 1 week after the contracts received the 2 memento packages & upon inspection we decided we did not need them. 9-7-22. Contacted the Neptune rep and advised we would like to return the memento packages as provided within the 30 day time period. 9-8-22. Met with the acct. rep and was advised the original contract had to be cancelled and new ones written. These were done manually under acct. #************ & ************. We were advised we would receive mailing instructions, the yellow copy, and a refund for each package in approx. 30 days after return. 10-10-22. Called Customer ********************** for a status on the mailing instructions and refund check. The rep. stated she would check into it and call back the same day or the next. Was rude and hung up on me. 10-20-22. No response. Email to rep who advised he would get with his regional mgr. and get resolved and stated "this is something that should already have been completed." 11-8/9-22. No response and follow-up email. 11-9-22. Call from local office mgr and arranged to meet in person and deliver the memento packages. At office advised that the original contract would be used as the manual contracts written on 9-8-22 "could not be located." Mgr. advised she would return the memento packages and receive refunds in approx. 2 weeks after that. 11-28-22 & 30 call that packages to be mailed and refund. 1-17-23. Various calls and rerouted to ***** office, reviewed. No response/refunds for 139 days since process began 9-8-22.

  I am rejecting this response because:The Neptune response appears to be a standard reply and is totally false. We have not spoken with Neptune in any form (phone, mail, email, etc). We have not received a refund on either account for the Memento Packages and it is not true that we are satisfied. This is a deceptive response and we feel our only recourse at this point is to file a complaint with the ******** ************************ under the ******** Merchandising Practices Act or any other that *** apply. We will, of course, send a copy of the complaint filed with the BBB and Neptune's response. We are very disappointed with Neptune and their continued delays especially considering their emphasis on "customer satisfaction."  We will await any further correspondence from you or Neptune before filing our complaint and/or filing separate legal action. Thank you for our assistance in this matter. 
  
  Sincerely,

  Complaint: 18897759
  
  We are rejecting this response because: The only verbal communication we received is a call from the ******* *********** on 2-13-23 advising that 2 refund checks were being issued and we should get them within 5 days. That was the end of the conversation. On 2-14-23 we received via *** 2 checks each in the amount of $3,086.95. Each check represented the total amount paid for cremation contracts ********* & ******. As clearly indicated in the prior correspondence we had only requested a refund for the 2 Memento Packages and not the entire contracts. We had delivered the Memento Packages (grossly overpriced) in full compliance with the 30 day requirement. We confirmed that both contracts have been cancelled in their entirety. So, it has been 159 days since this process began and now we are back to less than where we started. The only gain here is that Neptune has had the use of our $6,173.90 for over 5 months. The #1 reason we took out these cremation policies was Neptune's emphasis and promise of customer ********************** and satisfaction. Both are a dismal failure. In these 5+ months we have encountered rude replies, multiple broken commitments, delays in payment, lost paperwork and a whole lot of aggravation and time to get this matter resolved. And the answer from Neptune is a scripted response that was false. In reviewing the many other customer complaints and legal actions against this company is shows a pattern of misrepresentation, deception and bad faith dealings with the customer all while claiming that "********************** always strives to provide the utmost in service and customer satisfaction to each family we serve."  Their multiple actions show a lack a of transparency and ethical business practices in their in-person presentations, advertising, and customer responses in written and electronic materials. We feel that an alert should be issued on the BBB website as to Neptune's business practices as it relates to customer **********************. Of course that is not our decision to make as would be their A+ rating. One can only speculate as to the number of complaints that are not published or those who simply give up and go on. Perhaps it is just as well that both contracts have been cancelled completely. It would be a cruel trick indeed to have those we have asked to take care of our final disposition to have to deal with this level of inept customer ********************** and unethical business practices. We wish to thank you for all your assistance in this matter and please consider your file and complaint closed. We would appreciate a copy of any additional correspondence regarding this matter. Best regards from both of us. 
  
  Sincerely,

  I contacted the Neptune Society so that I would have a burial plan in effect when I died. After I paid in for two years, a friend of mine gifted me a burial plot, so I no longer needed Neptune Society. I contacted them and stopped my services and they refuse to give me any money back even though *** paid for two years. Instead, they want me to keep a pine box which is not worth $2000 or $1700 about what I paid. I want my money back they can have the stupid box I dont want it I dont need it but I need is my refund, so is this what they do? They just take advantage of little old ladies who are on a fixed income?

  We lost my mother 22 years ago. We have been sent information on cremation from NEPTUNE SOCIETY ever sense. I have call the number on the information flyer being sent and asked to have her name removed from the mailing list. I've got nothing but run around. From being told there's no way to remove a name from the mailing list to she's dead what do you care. This is a company that deals with families at time of loss. I want my mothers name removed from their mailing list. I also want to let others know how these people really feel about the loss of your loved one. They could care less.

  Neptune Society will not be able to resolve the complainant's concerns. In order for Neptune Society to remove the contact that the complainant is requesting, the complainant needs to submit the exact name and address as it is written on the marketing material. The Complainant did not provide the contact that she wants to be removed.  Neptune Society is sincerely sorry for the inconvenience that the complainant encountered. Once we receive the exact contact information we will immediately remove that contact from our database. Neptune Society always strives to provide the utmost in service and customer satisfaction to each family we serve.

  After the account was paid in full, there were two more auto pay deductions from my checking account, one for mine, and one for my husbands funeral services payment account. Each was $50 dollars, totaling $100. Our checking account went into the negative.Initially I contacted Payment Service Network (PSN) and they did show the account as paid in full but referred me directly to Neptune Society in order to get restitution for the erroneous deduction from my checking account.I have left messages with what I believe to be the West ****** office, customer ********************** ************** requesting help with this issue. No one reply's.

  I purchased a contract from the Neptune Society March 28,2022. I canceled this contract in August 2022. I was informed I would receive a way bill to return the urn I was sent. Once I returned the urn, I would receive a refund of all monies paid. It is now October, no way bill. I have called several times, and stopped by their W ****** ** office. Each contact I was told someone would determine the problem and call me. Today, October 25,2022, I was told if I cancelled after 30 days from contract date I would not receive a way bill. Not once was this ever mentioned to me. After each contact, I was told someone would call me back. To date, no one has ever contacted me. I want to return this urn and receive monies paid.

  My husband died on October 28, 2020. I immediately called the Neptune Society and they said that they would take care of his cremation. I did not receive the kind supportive care that was promised by the individual who sold me the policy. I was not informed of the progress of the process of cremation unless I initiated the ************************, I believe, was the person who spoke with me.
