Maryland registers mortuary transport services through the Board of Morticians and Funeral Directors, and the registration rules require a transport service to show it is bondable. Pricing on that surety bond is 1% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum, and approval runs a soft credit pull only, never a hard inquiry — enter the amount your registration calls for and see your price.
















No underwriting queue for the standard mortuary transport bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with your registration. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
Most applicants are approved instantly — no waiting, and the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. If a check runs, it is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Submit the executed bond with your mortuary transport service permit application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Board insists.
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.
Submit the application with your required bond amount — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with the Board.
