Message from Our
CEO
To Our Shareholders:
Trust is an integral component of our business. Families choose our funeral homes and cemeteries because they have confidence in our integrity and professionalism. It is important that we adhere to these high standards and carry out our responsibilities properly and to the best of our abilities the first time.
Our employees also depend on our organization for their livelihood and the well-being of their families. They count on us to provide a positive workplace with high standards for business conduct and ethics. Our employees are aware of these standards under which we operate. This commitment is outlined in detail in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which every employee is required to review and uphold.
As a public company, we work hard to maintain the trust and confidence of our shareholders. We base our business on ethical principles, pursue transparency and full disclosure in all corporate actions and make trust a fundamental precept of corporate governance. As chief executive officer, I assure you that integrity and honesty are top priorities. These attributes are also important to members of our board of directors, who are responsible for implementing our corporate governance programs.
This Web site provides information about our board, its structure, its members and the principles governing them and our Company. Making this information readily available illustrates our continued loyalty to our constituents -- the families we serve, our employees and our shareholders.

President and Chief Executive Officer
