Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions families ask us most often.

What should I do when a death occurs? +
Call Ludvigsen Mortuary any time, day or night, at 402-721-4440. Our staff will guide you through the first steps, arrange transportation of your loved one into our care, and help you begin making arrangements. If a death occurs at home or in a public place, contact emergency services first; if it occurs in a hospital or care facility, the staff there can help notify us.
How much does a funeral or cremation cost? +
Cost depends on the type of service and the choices a family makes, including burial or cremation, casket or urn, visitation, and memorial options. We provide a clear, itemized general price list so you understand every option with no surprises. Call us at 402-721-4440 for current pricing or to plan a service that fits your family's needs and budget.
What is the difference between burial and cremation? +
Burial usually involves a casket and interment in a cemetery, often with a visitation and funeral service. Cremation offers more flexibility: families may still hold a traditional funeral, a memorial gathering, or a private farewell, and may keep, bury, or scatter the remains. Ludvigsen Mortuary offers both and will gladly explain the options for each.
What is pre-planning, and why should I consider it? +
Pre-planning lets you record your wishes and, if you choose, prepay for funeral or cremation services in advance. It spares your family difficult decisions during a time of grief, locks in today's prices, and ensures your wishes are honored. You can begin pre-planning online or by calling 402-721-4440.
Can we personalize a funeral or memorial service? +
Yes. Every life is unique, and a meaningful service should reflect that. We can incorporate music, photo and video tributes, military honors, religious or cultural traditions, special readings, and personal keepsakes. Our funeral directors will work closely with you to create a fitting tribute.
What services do you offer for veterans? +
As a veteran-owned funeral home, we are honored to serve those who served. We help families arrange military honors, coordinate burial in national and state veterans cemeteries, obtain memorial flags and grave markers, and access VA burial benefits. Visit our For Our Veterans page or call us to learn more.
Do you offer grief support after the service? +
Yes. Grief does not end when the service does. We provide grief resources and can connect families with local support groups and counseling, and our team remains available to you long after services conclude.
What communities does Ludvigsen Mortuary serve? +
We proudly serve Fremont, Hooper, and Scribner, Nebraska, and the surrounding communities of Dodge County.
