Delaware — Preneed Funeral Contract Bond
Prepare the preneed seller's exact applicant name, including its trade names, and the trust-fund figures before applying. Delaware's State Bank Commissioner uses the highest trust balance in the prescribed reporting period to set the minimum security. The selected bond also protects the State's regulatory amounts; it is not a guarantee for the seller's business creditors.

Questions about this bond
Is the required sum based only on the year-end trust balance?
No. Regulation 3402 uses the highest trust-fund value during the specified twelve-month period ending October 31. Match that value to the current table and the Commissioner's direction.
Does the bond pay the seller's suppliers or employees?
The selected form excludes compensation claims from business creditors, third-party service providers, agents and others employed by the licensee. Its consumer protection concerns actual covered losses, alongside the State's specified regulatory amounts.
