Investor Presentation
August 2015
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this presentation, including, but not limited to, information regarding the status and
progress of our operating activities, the plans and objectives of our management, assumptions regarding our future
performance and plans, and any financial guidance provided or guidance related to our future distributions are
forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are made subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied. Our major risk is related to uncertainties
associated with the cash flow from our pre-need and at-need sales, our trusts, and financings, which may
impact our ability to meet our financial projections, our ability to service our debt and pay distributions, and
our ability to increase our distributions.
When considering forward-looking statements, the reader should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary
statements set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, our Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015, and our Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 6,
2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required by federal and state securities laws, we
assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein or any other forward-looking
statements made by us, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial
measures used in managing the business may provide investors with additional information regarding underlying
trends and ongoing results on a comparable basis. Specifically, management believes that production-based
revenues and adjusted operating profit allow the investor to gain insight into our operating performance. Non-GAAP
financial measures that we use should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP financial measures, and you should
not consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as
reported under U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
measures is provided later in this presentation.

 Industry growth driven by demographics and supported by ever-
present demand for memorialization and celebrations of life
12
 Cremation projected to rise to ~50% of total deaths in the U.S. by 2020.
– However, number of non-cremation deaths will remain steady in the future.
 Represents a key component of our growth strategy.
– Western society still memorializes life regardless of the method of disposition.
 Stronger linkage between cremation
and memorialization options
− Cremation gardens
− Cremation-related products and services
 Increased land utilization
 Higher profit margins
