Bond Titan makes it fast and straightforward to get your Colorado Preneed Contract Seller Bond online — no agent callbacks, no waiting.
Who Needs This Bond?
Funeral homes, independent preneed sales companies, and cemetery operators who sell preneed contracts to Colorado residents all need this bond. If your business collects money today for funeral goods or services to be delivered in the future, you are operating as a preneed contract seller under Colorado law. Any entity seeking licensure or renewal with the Colorado Division of Insurance as a preneed contract seller will be required to file this bond.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to protect Colorado consumers who prepurchase funeral arrangements. Preneed contracts involve real money paid in advance — sometimes years or decades before services are rendered. The bond gives the state a financial guarantee that sellers will handle those funds responsibly and honor the terms of each contract. If a seller fails to deliver or misappropriates funds, the bond provides a mechanism for consumer recovery.
When is it Required?
Before the Colorado Division of Insurance issues or renews a preneed contract seller license, the bond must be on file. You will typically encounter this requirement when submitting your initial license application or during annual renewal. Having your bond in place before you submit your application keeps the process moving without unnecessary delays.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a statewide Colorado requirement. It applies to any individual or business selling preneed funeral contracts to Colorado residents, regardless of which county or city they operate in. The bond must be maintained for as long as you hold an active preneed contract seller license in Colorado.
