About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the mortuary transport bond actually covers

Maryland's Board of Morticians and Funeral Directors registers mortuary transport services — the businesses that move human remains for funeral establishments — under COMAR 10.29.21, with the Board authorized by the Health Occupations Article.

The registration rules require the applicant to show the service is bondable and carries liability insurance covering each registered transporter it employs. A surety bond is the standard way to satisfy the bondability requirement, standing behind the service’s proper handling of remains and compliance with the Board’s rules.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The exact figure is tied to your registration — the Board’s permit packet has historically referenced a modest bond amount, so confirm the figure with the Board; pricing is 1% of that bond amount, $100 minimum, with a soft credit pull only, never a hard inquiry.

COMAR 10.29.21 (Board of Morticians and Funeral Directors)Maryland mortuary transport services register with the Board of Morticians and Funeral Directors under COMAR 10.29.21, which requires evidence that the service is bondable and carries liability insurance covering each registered transporter (COMAR 10.29.21.03–.04). The Board is authorized by the Health Occupations Article. Confirm your required bond amount on your registration packet — a surety bond satisfies the bondability requirement.
