What it is and who needs it.
What the $25,000 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 must demonstrate financial responsibility, and one accepted route is a $25,000 bond posted directly with the Secretary of State.
Under the Secretary of State's rules (Rule 590-3-5-.01), this $25,000 bond is the alternative to the $10,000 cemetery compliance bond — it satisfies the financial-responsibility requirement for the dealer's preneed merchandise obligations at the state level rather than the cemetery level.
This is the higher-tier filing. If your situation instead calls for the $10,000 compliance bond posted with the cemetery, that is a separate page. Both applications collect no credit information — pick the one the Secretary of State or cemetery requires of you.
