Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
GOODWILL | GOODWILL Many of the former owners and staff of our acquired funeral homes and certain cemeteries have provided high quality service to families for generations, which often represents a substantial portion of the value of a business. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of funeral home businesses and cemeteries acquired is recorded as goodwill. The following table presents changes in goodwill in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet (in thousands):
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized $13.5 million in goodwill related to our acquisition of a business located in Bakersfield, CA, of which $4.5 million was allocated to our cemetery segment and $9.0 million was allocated to our funeral home segment. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized $19.5 million in goodwill related to our 2022 business acquisitions, of which $7.4 million was allocated to our cemetery segment and $12.1 million was allocated to our funeral home segment. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2022, we allocated $0.9 million of goodwill to the sale of two funeral homes for a loss recorded in Net loss on divestitures, disposals and impairment charges on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We also recorded a $0.4 million goodwill impairment related to one funeral home and two cemeteries that were classified as held for sale at the balance sheet date, which was recorded in Net loss on divestitures, disposals and impairment charges in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Notes 1, 3, and 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the methodology used for our annual goodwill impairment test and a discussion of our acquisitions and divestitures.
