Please Note: All unlicensed crematoriums will be issued a cease and desist from the Cemetery Commissioner and placed under investigation.

How Does a Michigan Crematory License Bond Work? 

A crematory license bond creates a legal contract between these three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the crematorium filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs requires the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of the Michigan Legislature, Chapter 456. 

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 crematory license bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
