Welcome to The Nebraska Cremation Society
We recently launched our new website to help families find clear information about cremation care and better understand their choices. Over the next few weeks, we will continue refining pages, adding helpful resources, and making adjustments. Thank you for your patience as we complete this work. If you cannot find what you need, please call us at (402) 200-3366.
Begin Where You Are
You may know exactly what you want. You may have questions or need help understanding what happens next. We begin by listening, explain the choices relevant to your family, and help you distinguish what needs attention now from decisions that can wait.
A Death Has Occurred
Call us for help with the next steps. You do not need to choose a cremation option or gather every piece of information before speaking with us.
Three Choices. One Standard of Care.
Essential Cremation
Peace Through Simplicity
"We know what we want."
Professional cremation care without our planning or conducting a gathering. Remember privately, gather independently, or choose no ceremony.
Guided Cremation
Confidence Begins with Understanding
"We want professional help with a service."
Professional cremation care with help planning and coordinating a gathering to remember the person who has died. Begin with a clear vision or wishes you would like help developing.
Structured Cremation
Comfort in the Familiar
Professional preparation and support for viewing and a gathering before cremation, including embalming and use of a hardwood rental casket.
Understand the Cost Before You Decide
Our prices and descriptions of what is included are available for you to review. We explain any applicable additional charges, then provide your selected services and costs in writing before you authorize them.
Care Supported by Four Assurances
Before cremation can occur:
- The right person must give permission;
- The right identity and custody must be protected;
- The right information must be documented;
- Each step must happen in the right order.
These safeguards guid the care provided with every cremation option.
Know the People Providing Your Care
Greg, Karleen, and Mike bring different experience and responsibilities to your family’s care.
They share important information, follow the necessary steps, and keep you informed.
The Nebraska Cremation Society is a licensed branch of Pruss-Nabity Funeral Home, a family-owned firm founded in 1907.
Families should be able to understand pricing before making decisions. Pricing is provided in writing and reflects the services and coordination selected.
Before Services Proceed:
- Services are explained
- Pricing is provided in writing
- Required documentation is completed
- Authorization is obtained
Additional charges may apply in certain circumstances, such as transportation outside the established service area, which generally includes Wahoo, Omaha, Lincoln, Fremont, Ashland, Gretna, Elkhorn, Valley, Blair, Plattsmouth, Seward, and nearby Eastern Nebraska communities, specialized equipment or staffing, third-party charges, or additional services selected by the family.
Applicable charges are identified and discussed before authorization whenever possible.
A death brings change, sometimes beginning before an anticipated death and continuing through the decisions and responsibilities that follow. The Transition Project helps families understand what is happening, what needs attention now, and what can wait.
Whether a death is anticipated or unexpected, we help you find a clear place to begin and make room for the choices that matter to your family.
Help Your Family Find What They Need
Important information can be scattered across drawers, files, devices, and conversations. The Preparedness File gives you a practical way to tell your family where to look, whom to contact, and what you want them to know. Begin with a few useful entries and add to it over time.
Understanding The Changes Around a Death
The Transition Project addresses the questions that arise before an anticipated death and as families face the responsibilities that follow. It helps explain what is happening, what needs attention, and where your family can begin.

Obituaries
Obituaries provide a place for service information, memorial details, and family remembrance when selected.
Some families choose obituary assistance as part of their arrangements. Others prefer to handle this separately or not at all.
