Neptune Atlanta is in a New Location, but Our Commitment to Serving Families is the Same

Neptune Society has proudly served the families in Atlanta for half a century. In those years, we’ve become part of the community, helping people through their most difficult times.

“Neptune Society of Atlanta is not simply a local funeral home,” says Mark Musselwhite, Neptune Atlanta’s service manager. “While we are licensed like any other funeral home in Georgia, we have chosen to specialize in cremation. We serve a large area -- all of greater Atlanta – and we understand that it may be difficult for some folks to come to us, so we’re happy to come to you, if you prefer to discuss preplanning in person.”

The Neptune office recently relocated to Norcross, just north of Atlanta’s vibrant center – home to Hartsfield-Jackson, the world’s busiest airport, major sports teams, corporations including Coca-Cola and news organization CNN, and a diverse culture.

“Our new Atlanta location bridges the gap between a bustling metropolis and the intimacy of a tight-knit community,” says Musselwhite. “Our commitment to being here for you remains unchanged. The Atlanta community is important to us; we strive to bring peace of mind and compassionately serve those who are grieving and those who wish to plan for the future.”

Losing a loved one is one of life’s most difficult experiences, and Neptune Atlanta’s expert, caring staff has been trusted to help thousands of families from all walks of life. “We are America’s largest cremation service provider and are celebrating our 50th year of business,” Musselwhite said. “Whether you need cremation and funeral services right away, or you’re planning for the future, we’re here to help you.”

Direct Cremation Growing More Popular

Because it’s simple and affordable, cremation is steadily growing in popularity. According to Musselwhite, “The cost for cremation in Atlanta varies, depending on what services you select.” However, cremation is typically less than one-third the cost of burial. Direct cremation is the most affordable, forgoing a memorial service and personalized details.

Cremation also allows for flexibility in scheduling a memorial service, while traditional burial is typically done immediately after a death. This can be a challenge for family and friends who wish to be present.

There are other options as well for those who’d like to include a gathering or memorial, before or after cremation.

“While Neptune Society of Atlanta excels in simple cremation, we also provide celebration of life services, private family viewings and the scattering of ashes at various locations across the country,” says Musselwhite.
