What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A funeral director bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. The City of Norfolk wants a financial backstop that a licensed funeral director will handle prepaid arrangements and customer funds honestly and within the law.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Norfolk (the obligee), with your customers as the protected parties. If a director mishandles funds or violates the conditions of the City license, a harmed customer can recover against the bond.
Keep the bond active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the City can act against the license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your filing continuous.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
