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; this one is priced at $100 flat and no credit check.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File where it’s required. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file as evidence of financial responsibility. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
