| Business Description |
| The company is the sixth largest provider of death care services and products in the United States based on 1995 revenues. The company provides a complete range of funeral services and products to meet families' needs, including consultation, removal and preparation of remains, sale of caskets and related funeral merchandise, transportation services and the use of funeral home facilities for visitation. The company also offers cemetery products and services, including rights to interment in cemetery sites, internet services and related cemetery merchandise. As of May 31, 1996, the company operated 60 funeral homes and seven cemeteries in 13 states. Funeral services constituted approximately 93% of revenues in 1995 and in the first half of 1996. Since the company's formation in 1991, management has undertaken a disciplined approach to growth that has allowed the company the necessary time to integrate acquisitions, develop effective operating, administrative and financial systems and controls, recruit an experienced operating management team and promote a decentralized, entrepreneurial service culture. |
