Filmmaker, activist, legend: There aren't enough words to describe Rob Reiner and the legacy he leaves behind. His mark on comedy and film is undeniable, from his role as Meathead in "All in the Family," to directing beloved classics like "This is Spinal Tap," "The Princess Bride" and "When Harry Met Sally..." just to name a few. It's hard to find someone who hasn't been touched by his work — or who can't recite a few quotable lines from his classic movies.

His iconic characters defined a generation and continue to leave a lasting impression on media and pop culture. If you turn on the TV, there's a good chance you'll hear a reference to a Rob Reiner film. That's the staying power of a comedic giant like him.

What's your favorite Rob Reiner movie, moment or memorable line? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Neptune Society and National Cremation Society Hudson partnered to sponsor wreaths at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, FL, as part of Wreaths Across America, the annual volunteer event honoring and remembering those who have served our country.
"It was an honor to assist our families in remembering their loved ones," said National Cremation Society Hudson Service Manager Matthew Moss, who attended the wreath-laying ceremony with Neptune Ocala Service Manager Alexis Garcia to witness the laying of wreaths brought by families we've served.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Kansas City!
Warmth and kindness are spreading throughout the community as local hospices received cozy socks to help brighten the season. Through a partnership with Senior Helpers Home Care, several older adults will also enjoy a thoughtful holiday gift delivered personally by their certified nursing assistant.
Neptune Service Manager Julie Walter-Davis embraced the spirit of the season by attending celebrations with Professionals in Aging, the Case Management Association, Morningside Memory Care, and the KC Regional Home Care Association. She also shared her homemade baked goods with Monarch Hospice and Luminary Hospice, adding an extra touch of holiday cheer.

Working on a dream: Once again this year, members of the SCI Direct corporate team in South Florida volunteered with Habitat for Humanity of Broward to work on a house that will be home to a family in need, who also participated in the construction process.
We're honored to work with Habitat and the families they help in their mission of community development by building homes with affordable mortgages – not handouts – and addressing housing crises globally.

Grief, for many of us, is not linear, with a beginning and an end. If you need some support this holiday season, we are presenting a free webinar, in partnership with For Grief, on Tuesday, Dec. 16, in which experts share their own experiences and discuss how to cope at a time that brings up powerful emotions.

The first holidays are NOT always the worst. Sometimes they are, sometimes they are not. Grief is complicated like that.

People often ask us whether they should send holiday cards after a death, and if so, they wonder how they should acknowledge the loss.

This holiday season, the Neptune corporate team's food donations to Feeding South Florida added up to 581 pounds, which translates to 484 meals – far exceeding even last year's donations.
At a time when so many are struggling, we are deeply grateful for everyone's generosity.

God bless these affirmations, every one.

Neptune Kansas City Service Manager Julie Walter-Davis and her daughter Mandi represented Neptune Society at the annual Dazzling Divas event to raise funds and awareness for those suffering from cancer. The money assists cancer patients with costs such as transportation, meal supplements, and other necessities.

Neptune, a co-sponsor, provided a basket for the silent auction.

“This is near and dear to our hearts as we have lost members of our family and also watched some fight and win the battle,” Julie said. “One Community Hospice & Palliative Care Hospice is also a big supporter.”

Spooky fun and education were on the agenda when Neptune Kansas City Service Manger Julie Walter-Davis represented Neptune at the Cass County Health Fair, making sure residents know we are available to serve their cremation needs.
On the spooky side, Julie staffed a table at the Fireman’s Local 42 Boo Bash, where her son is a member, and ended the week at The Groves Senior Living community Trunk and Treat with her faithful “Dalmatian,” aka Nellie the schnauzer, at her side. Nellie is a frequent visitor at assisted living communities in the area. Keep your eye out, as we have it on good authority that Cruella is not done visiting this year!
