Neptune Society Opens Austin, Texas Office

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The Neptune Society, the largest cremation-only services company in the U.S., announces it is now offering its industry-leading services in the greater Austin area. The company's Austin office, located at 911 W. Anderson Lane, expands its service in Texas, which includes locations in Fort Worth and Houston. The Neptune Society, a subsidiary of the BG Capital Group, now has 38 locations in 10 states -- including cremation facilities, sales offices, and holding facilities -- and continues to expand services throughout the United States.

Jerry Norman, President and CEO of The Neptune Society, said, "We are honored to be a part of the Austin community and to offer residents our dignified and affordable alternative to the traditional funeral experience."

Established in 1973, The Neptune Society is dedicated to providing consumers with a simple, economical and dignified alternative to the traditional costly funeral, which can run from $7,000 to $10,000. The average cremation costs less than half of that. The Neptune Society is not owned or operated by a traditional funeral home or cemetery, and is the only nationwide organization to specialize in cremation-only services. Cremations now account for over 30% of all funeral services in the U.S. according to the Cremation Association of America. Some states like Hawaii, California, and Florida are up to over 50 per cent. The average is projected to reach close to 45% by 2025.

The Neptune Society offers consumers the option of making arrangements for their direct cremation in advance, at a fraction of the cost of the typical funeral service. Once pre-paid, the price of the services is guaranteed.
