Before selling burial pre-need services, a seller must first obtain a license from which department?

The correct choice is the Nebraska Department of Insurance, as this agency is responsible for regulating the sale of burial pre-need services in the state. Licensing requirements are in place to ensure that sellers of these services meet certain standards and provide consumers with protection and transparency regarding their pre-need investments. The Department of Insurance facilitates oversight of the financial aspects of these services, including the management of trust accounts and insurance products related to pre-need contracts.

Other departments mentioned focus on different areas: the Nebraska Department of Education generally handles educational regulations and licensing for educators, the Nebraska Department of Health oversees health-related functions and regulations, and the Nebraska Department of Consumer Affairs would likely address broader consumer protection issues but does not specifically handle the licensing of funeral service providers. Thus, the Nebraska Department of Insurance is the appropriate governing authority for pre-need service licensing.
