When my husband was told that he had lung cancer, the doctor added that he needed to get his business in order immediately. Bob contacted the Neptune Society and arranged for his cremation. He asked me to scatter his ashes at sea, which I did.
Approximately one year after his death, a minister contacted me, whose wife had died. He advised that members of his church worked at Neptune. They were required to break the jaws of the dead, if they had gold crowns, in order to remove the gold, he told me. In addition, more than one body was cremated at a time, so I have no idea what happened to my husband’s ashes.
Relatives of the dead joined in a class action lawsuit. The judge awarded us what we paid for the cremation. Nothing for pain and suffering.
