Neptune Society of Northern California The Neptune Society of Northern California has provided a simple and affordable option for more than 125,000 Californians who prefer cremation as the dignified and ecologically responsible alternative to traditional final arrangements. We own our crematory equipment and it is always operated by our own highly trained professionals. With several branch offices, our own crematories, a fleet of removal vehicles, chapels, the Neptune Society San Francisco Columbarium and a 24-hour Membership Services Center all staffed by our well-trained professionals, we are better equipped than any other cremation provider in northern California to respond quickly and professionally to the needs of our members.
