Cremation Services
Today’s families are looking for more than tradition. They’re seeking meaning, flexibility, and options that reflect their values and the life of their loved one. Cremation offers a modern, dignified path that meets emotional, spiritual, and financial needs in a changing world.
At The Nebraska Cremation Society – a Branch of Pruss-Nabity Funeral Home, we believe cremation isn’t just an alternative — it’s a deeply personal choice that opens the door to comfort, creativity, and connection. Here’s how cremation provides real value across four meaningful dimensions:
Solutions for Today’s Families
Cremation offers practical answers that meet the needs of modern life.
- Flexible Timing
Cremation allows families to take the time they need. Without the urgency of immediate burial, you can plan a service that feels right — when the family is ready.
- Cost-Effective
A simple cremation can be significantly more affordable than traditional burial, giving families the freedom to invest in what matters most — from travel to memorials to charitable giving.
- Eco-Friendly Options
Choose from biodegradable urns, green scattering options, or carbon-reduced cremation practices for a more environmentally conscious farewell.
- Portability & Access
Cremated remains can be kept close, scattered in meaningful places, or shared across states and countries with ease.
Cremation isn’t just an alternative — it’s a flexible solution for families looking for comfort, convenience, and control.
Transformations That Reflect a Life Well Lived
Cremation offers endless opportunities to transform memories into lasting tributes.
- Custom Memorialization
From personalized urns to fingerprint jewelry and cremated remains in glass keepsakes to cremated remains solidified into beautiful stones, cremation allows for tributes that reflect the individuality of your loved one.
- Creative Possibilities
Cremated remains can be turned into diamonds, blended into artwork, or planted with a tree — unique expressions of a lasting legacy.
- Room to Grow
Multiple ceremonies — a life celebration now, a scattering later — allow families to honor a loved one in meaningful stages.
With cremation, every goodbye becomes a creative transformation — a chance to honor a life in ways that evolve with your family’s journey.
Connections That Last Across Time and Distance
Cremation strengthens emotional bonds and helps families stay close, even when miles apart.
- Shared Remembrance
Keepsake urns and memorial jewelry allow multiple family members to stay connected through tangible reminders of their loved one.
- Inclusive Services
With flexible timing and digital options, far-away friends and family can participate in services, tributes, and memorial events.
- Legacy Preservation
Families can build shared digital memorials, plant family remembrance gardens, or pass down keepsakes for generations.
Cremation helps families stay connected — through shared mementos, flexible services, and lasting legacies.
Experiences That Reflect the Spirit of the Life Lived
Cremation offers freedom — to honor, to celebrate, and to remember in the way that feels most meaningful.
- Unique Locations
Memorial services can be held anywhere meaningful — in a backyard, on a beach, at a mountaintop, or in an art studio.
- Personalized Celebrations
Joyful, spiritual, cultural, or unconventional — cremation empowers you to create a farewell that truly reflects the one you love.
- Ongoing Remembrance
Because cremation isn’t tied to a single moment, families can honor anniversaries, plan future scatterings, or add dedications as part of an evolving remembrance journey.
Cremation empowers families to create experiences that truly reflect the spirit of their loved one — meaningful, memorable, and moving.
A Purposeful Choice — Guided With Care
Cremation is not a compromise. It’s a thoughtful, values-driven decision rooted in flexibility, creativity, and connection. Our role is to walk with you through this journey — to explore the possibilities and help craft a farewell that is deeply personal, purposeful, and profound.
