Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“I am glad to have made the choices to work with Nebraska Cremation with the passing of my wife. They were compassionate and very respectful during the whole process. They have continued to follow up with me in the weeks following with genuine concern. Their professionalism and compassion made this journey much more tolerable than I would have thought possible. I highly recommend Greg and the rest of his team for their handling of this process in a most difficult time for me.”
— Andy VanDerslice
“The Nebraska Cremation society and their team (especially Karleen) were very supportive and comfortable to be around. I was even able to laugh, smile and crack a few jokes during a pretty sad time in my life. They also have affordable and elegant urns, boxes, and keepsakes for your loved one(s) available on hand at a reasonable price. They were so respectful when dealing with my Dads death. (R.I.P. CHRIS ANDERSEN). I would recommend these guys to anyone. They really take pride in their work. Thank you so much, and God bless”
— Jessica Andersen
“Words cannot express how impressed I was with The Nebraska Cremation Society in Wahoo. Greg and his son could not have been more respectful and caring for my husband and our family. As a nurse and wife that was very important to me and my family. And their staff was also very helpful and responded quickly to our calls and texts. I highly recommend them !”
