She is simply dedicated to executing your vision and making sure that your home going service is as smooth as can possibly be.

I would like to thank The Funeraria Del Angel-Cheyenne for doing such an amazing job with my father's funeral. From the moment we walked in we were treated with such kindness at such a heartbreaking time. We would like to thank Mathew Martinez for his attention to details as to getting to know my father and type of person he was. And for being so patient and considerate towards my mother and entire family. I would also like to thank Sariah W for being so understanding and her attention to details on all our request. Any questions our family had were always promptly answered which was so convenient during our grieving period. I would highly recommend this funeral home for any services.

We lost someone close to us very suddenly. We were not prepared in any way and they made sure we were taken care of. Every person we spoke to was so helpful and really made things as easy as they could be during this time. They kept us updated throughout everything and made sure our loved one was properly taken care of. They brought his ashes to us and we couldn't be more grateful for the caring professionality of this company.

We cannot say enough good things about Corpus Christi Pet Memorial Center. During one of the hardest moments a pet family can face, they continue to treat us with kindness, dignity, and genuine compassion. Tomorrow, We are again using them now for our tenth(10!) beloved pet family member, which speaks volumes about the trust and confidence we have in their care. Every experience weve had with them has been handled with respect, patience, and heartfelt understanding. They truly recognize that our pets are not just animals, but cherished members of our family. Knowing that Grandma will be cared for with such tenderness brings us comfort during an incredibly painful time. We are deeply grateful for the consistency, professionalism, and empathy they have shown us over the years. Corpus Christi Pet Memorial Center has been there for us time and time again, and we wouldnt entrust our beloved pets to anyone else.

ALL of the staff and recommended service providers from Heritage Memorial Funeral Home had the upmost respect and consideration for the passing and service of our family member. Our initial call with Quincy was very helpful, and our in person meeting with him helped to understand our options, pricing and get any questions answered that we had as well as ones we didn't know we had. After getting the process started with Quincy, we had Cassandra take over to handle the details, paperwork, preparation and execution of the service for our family member. She was responsive to our calls, even texted to ensure that we had received voicemails if we were unable to respond immediately. She also helped us fill out paperwork needed for insurance purposes, and guided us on the next steps after a wonderfully executed service. Gabe who was there to assist on the day of the service and the deacon that came to deliver the service were all wonderful. They made such a difficult a little easier knowing th

We dealt with Ms Rhonda Sanchez. She was absolutely amazing and her patience was second to none. We were dealing with some obstacles and Memory Gardens absolutely made things a lot less difficult for me and my family. There was no "sales pressure" from Ms Sanchez or anyone else we spoke to. A much different experience from just a year ago when I was dealing with my father's funeral in a different city (and different company). I've used Memory Gardens with 3 Grandparents, an aunt, and my Mother. There's good reason for that. Thank you Rhonda Sanchez and the rest of the Team! You all make it feel like we're dealing with Family. Extremely Appreciative, Ed Gonzales

We are very happy that we took care of our arrangements early in our lives to spare our loved ones from having to struggle with it during a time of loss. We had a relaxed environment and no pressures to purchase. We joked and had fun with it. I have been in the worse case senario and dont wish it on anyone. Its a very emotional time and you make decisions based on your heart not on practicality.

Neptune Society in Corpus Christi truly felt like a blessing during one of the hardest moments of our lives. From the start, their team was kind, gentle, and genuinely caring. They were very mindful of what our family was going through, and every interaction felt personal and respectful. Never rushed. Never cold. They walked us through everything step by step and explained our options clearly. There was no pressure at all. No sales talk. Just honest guidance and support when we needed it most. Their professionalism brought peace of mind, and their compassion brought comfort. The pricing was reasonable, and they offered a wide range of packages, which made it easier to find what felt right for our family. We felt supported every step of the way, not pushed, and that meant more than I can say. We are truly grateful for the care, dignity, and respect they showed our loved one and our family.

My husband and I both have had our arrangements made with the Neptune Society for several years, and I am so happy we planned ahead. When my husband died just before Christmas 2025, they were so prompt and thoughtful in handling his cremation and the necessary paperwork involved. I am so grateful for their kindness  and they continued to check on me long after all was taken care of. This is a very helpful and compassionate organization.

My husband passed a few days before I was ready, emotionally and all other ways. Neptune made all of the struggle stop: His cremation went smoothly and they were able to accommodate the familys special request. They checked in with me about things, not just the service provided. Our whole family was important to them. Truly a blessing to us.
