🌏 The view from above, during that tragic moment frozen in time.

🕯 On this solemn day, we pause to honor the memory of all those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and to stand with the families, friends, and communities forever changed by that tragedy.

At Celestis, we are reminded of the resilience of the human spirit... of our shared capacity for remembrance, unity, and hope.

🌇 May we never forget.

Saturday is National Grief Awareness Day, recognized annually on August 30. It's a time to reflect on how we all cope with loss differently, and learn how to help yourself and others through the grieving process, no matter what type of loss you've been through.
If you or someone you know is struggling with loss, we offer The 12 Weeks of Peace, a free, online bereavement series available to everyone. https://neptunesociety.com/resources/grief-support/12-weeks-of-peace

Thank you for giving a bark-out to comfort dogs, American Funeral Director! Our Neptune Society team just celebrated the first birthday of their pup, Neptune, who has quickly developed a compassionate understanding of how to be there for people in mourning. As we know, sometimes a soft paw says more than words.🐾❤️

A lovely family we served sent Neptune Minneapolis Funeral Director Brianna Haglin this bouquet of beautiful pink roses in thanks for her respect and kindness with both them and the family member they lost.
"We realized we knew people in common," Brianna said. "It was a great visit and connection. You never know the people you’ll meet while serving them."
Nothing means more to us than making a time of sorrow easier for families to bear.

This is wonderful. We couldn't agree more.

Lindsey Ballard didn't plan to follow in her family's footsteps—until she discovered her true calling. Now a third-generation funeral director and the 2025–26 CANA president, she's helping families create meaningful goodbyes while advocating for self-care in death care.

We love our pets here at Neptune Minneapolis, and wanted to find a way to give to the community. We chose animal rescue The Bond Between; Service Manager Michelle Rischmiller brought treats for humans as well as for pets. After touring the facility, we got to spend time cuddling the pets. 🐾❤️
