NV funeral seller bonds.
$500 flat. Issued fast.
Before selling prepaid (pre-need) funeral contracts in Nevada, a funeral seller must post a bond with the Commissioner of Insurance under NRS Chapter 689 — an amount the Commissioner sets, not less than $50,000. Ours is $500 flat at the $50,000 minimum — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. A quick soft credit check may apply; it never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Nevada regulates the sale of prepaid funeral contracts under NRS Chapter 689, through the Commissioner of Insurance. Before issuing a certificate of authority, the Commissioner requires the seller to post and maintain a bond — an amount the Commissioner sets, not less than $50,000.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee held for the benefit of buyers of prepaid contracts. It backs the money buyers pay in advance and the seller's obligation to actually perform the contract — protecting families against misuse or diversion of pre-need funds or a seller's failure to perform.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay in force for as long as you hold the certificate of authority. We issue the $50,000 minimum at $500 flat; if the Commissioner sets a higher amount, contact us for that tier's price.
