About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the cemetery seller bond actually guarantees

Nevada regulates the sale of prepaid (preneed) funeral and cemetery contracts under NRS Chapter 689, administered by the Commissioner of Insurance. Before a permit issues, NRS 689.495 requires the seller to post and maintain a $50,000 bond in favor of the State of Nevada (or an equivalent deposit of cash or securities).

The bond is held for the benefit of buyers of prepaid contracts and others as their interests appear — people who could be damaged by misuse or diversion of money by the seller or its agents, or by the seller failing to perform a prepaid contract. It is a consumer-protection guarantee for money paid years before the service is delivered.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. A soft credit check may run as part of underwriting — it never affects your score, and the price stays $500 either way.

The bond is held for the benefit of buyers of prepaid contracts who may be damaged by misuse or diversion of money, or to satisfy judgments for failure to perform a prepaid contract.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I pay the $50,000?No. You pay $500 flat. The $50,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the state and harmed buyers; it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond?The Nevada Commissioner of Insurance requires it under NRS 689.495 before issuing a permit to sell prepaid (preneed) cemetery or funeral contracts. No active bond, no permit.
What does the bond guarantee?It protects buyers of prepaid contracts against misuse or diversion of their money and against the seller failing to perform the contract. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — it is a guarantee, not insurance for you.
Is there a credit check?A quick soft credit check may apply — never a hard inquiry, no impact on your score. It is the only extra step beyond the application, and the price stays $500 either way.
When does it renew?Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. You'll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, with autopay available, and the bond must stay in force for your permit to stay valid.
