About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the $10,000 compliance bond covers

Georgia regulates cemetery and funeral merchandise dealers through the Secretary of State under the Cemetery and Funeral Services Act of 2000 (O.C.G.A. § 10-14). A merchandise dealer who installs or delivers in a perpetual care cemetery must show financial responsibility — one accepted form is a $10,000 compliance bond.

Under the Secretary of State's rules (Rule 590-3-5-.01), the $10,000 compliance bond guarantees that the work performed is in compliance with the cemetery's rules and regulations. It protects the cemetery and the public against a dealer who installs improperly or violates cemetery requirements.

This is the lower-tier filing. As an alternative, a dealer may post a $25,000 bond directly with the Secretary of State — that is a separate page. Pick the one your situation calls for; we issue either at a flat 3% with no credit check.

O.C.G.A. § 10-14 + Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 590-3-5-.01Under the Georgia Cemetery and Funeral Services Act of 2000 (O.C.G.A. § 10-14) and the Secretary of State's rules (Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 590-3-5-.01), a cemetery merchandise dealer demonstrates financial responsibility through a $10,000 compliance bond guaranteeing that work performed is in compliance with the cemetery's rules and regulations — or, as an alternative, a $25,000 bond posted directly with the Secretary of State. Confirm which form your situation requires.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the $10,000 cemetery merchandise bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the $10,000 bond amount, the same for every dealer. The $10,000 is the compliance-bond amount, so there is no quote process.
What is the difference between the $10,000 and $25,000 bonds? +
The $10,000 is a compliance bond guaranteeing that your work in a perpetual care cemetery follows the cemetery’s rules. The $25,000 is an alternative bond posted directly with the Secretary of State as evidence of financial responsibility for preneed merchandise. We offer both — pick the one your situation requires.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount bonds like this one don't need one.
Who requires it? +
It is required under the Georgia Cemetery and Funeral Services Act (O.C.G.A. § 10-14) and the Secretary of State's rules (Rule 590-3-5-.01) as a form of financial responsibility for cemetery merchandise dealers.
