How Does an Arizona Prearranged Funeral Bond Work?
A prearranged funeral endorsement bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: You, the funeral establishment owner filing the bond
- Obligee: The Arizona State Board of Funeral Directors & Embalmers requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of AZ Rev Stat § 32-1391.01.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your prearranged funeral bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
