All Faiths have been in business in the Villages for a very long time. I did a comparison between the costs of a cremation thru a funeral home and thru a cremation society about three years ago. Cremation societies were about half the cost of funeral homes for a basic cremation. The Neptune Society included disposal at sea without additional cost. However their package was more costly than All Faiths. And if you are planning a different disposal of the ashes such as scattering or interment, you are really paying Neptune for a service that you will not be utilizing. All of them are really "store fronts" and generally use the same crematoriums such as Roberts in Ocala. The average cost at All Faiths was about a thousand dollars. The companies that have promotional dinners and seminars are usually more money for basic services. I think that is wise to compare options before the need arises.
