However, the people over at Greer Mortuary really worked with us and made a bad situation a good one. I truly appreciate everything Greer Mortuary did for me. I would 1000% refer people to them.“

He guided us in every direction and given that our loved one passed far away from home and we had no idea of how to handle the situation, he made it as seamless as could be. Thank you so much for your assistance during our time of grief.“

“I recently lost my mother, and during this difficult time, the Neptune Society of Northern California provided exceptional services that greatly eased the burden on our family. From the moment we contacted them, their professionalism and compassion were evident. Korey, our Funeral Arranger, was outstanding. He guided us through the entire process with sensitivity and respect, ensuring that every detail was handled flawlessly. The transport of my mother from the hospital to the cremation site was smooth and dignified, and we felt assured that she was in good hands throughout. The Neptune Society also facilitated a beautiful sea scattering ceremony, honoring my mother's wishes perfectly. Additionally, they took care of obtaining the death certificate from the county and promptly delivered it to us, which was a significant relief during such a stressful time. Their thoughtful approach and attention to detail made the experience both memorable and comforting. I am deeply grateful to Korey and the entire Neptune Society team for their support and excellent service during such a challenging period. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of compassionate and professional end-of-life arrangements. Thank you, Neptune Society, for helping us celebrate my mother's life in such a meaningful way.“

“This review took me some time because I wanted to give authentic wording for this review. My grandmother's funeral was in April and I realize there are no words great enough to describe Mr. Paul's kind demeanor. The colonial family made a sad occasion joyful by keeping everything professional and showing empathy and sympathy. My grandmother's funeral was such a celebration that family members and friends are still reaching out to me about how modest she looked even during expiration. Again I need to highlight that Paul is such a professional he knows people and he understands what the hardship of burial can be like, he's truly not in this business for money and he truly cares about the people. He made this day so joyful and stress-free, I would recommend this funeral to any and everyone.“

Thank you, thank you, thank you.<br>Yours sincerely,<br>The Jackson-Golden Family“

“My wife recently passed away, unexpectedly. Santos and Robinson has been her family's "historic" funeral home in San Leandro. The staff, especially but not only Lupita, were professional, easy-to-work with and kind. Everything is difficult and challenging during the preparation for a funeral. To plan and carry out the funeral of one's wife - my beloved of 30 years - was not easy. But Lupita and the staff at Santos and Robinson made it as easy as possible, and the vigil hosted at the home was beautiful and meaningful. Highly recommended.“

“I am grateful to Pacific Interment for the exceptional services they provided for my father's funeral. They were extremely accommodating with scheduling, offering flexibility 7 days a week. Amanda, in particular, patiently explained everything to me as a first-timer. Amanda and her team went above and beyond, showing great compassion and respect for our religious practices. Their genuine care is rare to find in today's service industry. Amanda made me feel like I was reaching out to my own sister for help, and I never hesitated to reach out to her with any questions or concerns.<br>Thank you, Amanda, and the entire PI team.“

“San Lorenzo Pioneer Cemetery is viewable on a driveby on Hesperian Blvd., a very busy street. i was surprised to see a cemetery here. it's been a long time judging by the dullness of the monuments, granites. i never see any activity. there's little green grass visible within the perimeters. the cemetery is closed seemingly at all hours. parking isn't readily available if one wants to visit. i have no interest to do so. one can see within by standing on the perimeter. there is a sign posted that the cemetery will be renovated. the sign is a few years old.“

“The service here at Cooper Chapel was amazing. Through this whole process of my father's funeral, Rueben was very sympathetic, helpful and friendly. He was thorough with how everything worked and prompt on timing of everything. Through this hard time Rueben definitely helped make this process smooth. Thank you Rueben!“

Thanks, from the bottom of my heart.“
