Questions about this bond
Is every funeral seller required to maintain this bond?
The Division requires security for trust-funded prepaid contracts. Its published exception is for sellers offering only contracts payable solely from life-insurance proceeds and collecting no purchaser money. Confirm the actual funding and collection arrangement.
Does this also authorize prepaid cemetery sales?
No. The Division expressly separates a funeral seller's authority from the cemetery-seller program. Identify whether the applicant is selling funeral-home services or a cemetery authority's merchandise and services.
