Why do I need this bond?
Preneed funeral service bonds ensure that all principals (preneed funeral service providers) adhere to the rules and regulations in the Statutes Governing Funeral Service under Chapter 90, Article 13D. Prohibited business practices under this act include:
- Engaging in preneed services without a proper license
- A crime involving fraud or misrepresentation of a licensed preneed funeral services provider
- False or misleading advertising
Preneed funeral service bonds protect the businesses clients and the public against wrongful doing. If damages occur, the surety will pay the claim up to the full bond amount. However, the principal must reimburse the surety for any money paid out in a claim.
