Nebraska is one of the few states where a licensed funeral director is required by law, even for a home burial. There is no fixed waiting period, but the county attorney must sign the cremation permit, and a certified death certificate costs $16. Families who cannot pay can ask their county about General Assistance. Our Nebraska Funeral Guide walks you through each step.
