Who must a pre-need seller obtain a license from to sell burial pre-need?

A pre-need seller must obtain a license from the director of the Nebraska Department of Insurance to sell burial pre-need. This is because the Department of Insurance oversees the regulations surrounding financial transactions related to insurance products, including those associated with pre-need burial services. Selling pre-need burial contracts can involve insurance elements, which requires the seller to be licensed to ensure compliance with state laws and to protect consumers.

The other options represent departments or officials that do not have the jurisdiction over the specific licensing requirements for pre-need sellers. Nebraska Health and Human Services focuses on health-related services, while Nebraska Administrative Services oversees general administrative functions of state government. The Nebraska Funeral Directors Association, while significant in the funeral industry, does not have the authority to issue licenses for selling pre-need burial services. Thus, the correct avenue for obtaining a license for this purpose is through the director of the Nebraska Department of Insurance.
