NEPTUNE Society

This article claims this organization is primarily known for running 2 internment sites. No mention of ashes scattered at sea services. It's called the NEPTUNE Society. As in god of the ocean. It's PRIMARILY known for scattering at sea. Why is this not in the article? It was founded on this service. In fact a 2013 press release from them (still on their website) touts their 40th anniversary of scatter-at-sea services (they were founded in 1973). "This special service is so popular that 35% of those choosing a Los Angeles cremation also choose this sea memorial." ^[1]

Neutrality

While the article didn't seem worthy of declining, it sounds a bit like an advertizement if you read it closely. For example, "its service offerings include..." (written in the introduction) sounds a bit like what you would find on a company website. In the "Controversy" section, the article subtly seems to make the company look good even in the face of criticism. Maybe I'm wrong, so I'd appreciate some third opinions. --Writing Enthusiast ^{(talk | contribs)} 16:15, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
