Gregory L. Nabity Owner / Funeral Director and Cremationist greg.nabity@nebraskacremation.com

Thank you for your interest in our Simple Cremation service. In 2010, I established Nebraska Cremation to serve people who desire the low cost, simplicity and convenience of cremation. In 2016, we became a Cremation Society in order to position ourselves as Nebraska’s premier provider of cremation related education, information, and support. We also continue to provide our trusted Simple Cremation at a cost significantly below that charged by other area cremation providers. Our Cremation With Certainty Guarantee exceeds any assurances offered by other cremation service providers and is our pledge to you that we meticulously care for your loved one every step of the way.

One of the appeals of choosing us for your cremation needs, in addition to our lower price, is our convenience. Complete cremation arrangements can be made on our interactive website, by mail or fax, over the telephone, via email, or at your own residence without ever having to visit our historic facilities directly.

Our online family collaboration center permits every member of the family to be involved in contributing to the process of planning and information gathering, no matter where they are located. All of this eliminates any geographic barriers to selecting us for your cremation needs. Our central location in Wahoo allows us to bring our friendly, hometown service to a wide geographic area. You are welcome to visit us in person, anytime you wish. Our price is so low because we have learned to operate efficiently and cost effectively. Being centrally located permits us to serve a large area from one facility. This minimizes our overhead expenses and we pass the savings on to you.
