UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2006 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the period ended June 30, 2006 are based on the historical financial statements of StoneMor Partners L.P. (“StoneMor”) and Certain Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of Service Corporation International (“SCI locations”) after giving effect to the purchase of SCI locations by StoneMor based on the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements have been prepared using the purchase method of accounting as if the transaction had been completed as of January 1, 2005 for purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations and on June 30, 2006, for purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the separate historical Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in StoneMor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are not intended to be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or the financial condition of StoneMor that would have been reported had the acquisition been completed as of the dates presented and should not be taken as representative of future consolidated results or financial condition of StoneMor. The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are presented in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair market values. The pro forma purchase price allocation has been derived from estimates of the fair market value of the tangible assets and liabilities of the SCI locations based upon management’s estimates using established valuation techniques. The total purchase price of the SCI locations has been allocated on a preliminary basis to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon valuation procedures performed to date. This allocation is subject to change pending a final analysis of the total purchase price paid, including the direct costs of the acquisition and the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed; however, the Company does not believe that the impact of these changes will be material.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements do not reflect any effect of operating efficiencies, cost savings, and other benefits anticipated by StoneMor’s management as a result of the acquisition. Additionally, certain integration costs may be recorded subsequent to the merger that under purchase accounting will not be treated as part of the SCI locations’ purchase price. These costs have not been reflected in these Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations because they are not expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

NOTE 2. UNAUDITED PROFORMA CONDENSED COMBINED BALANCE SHEET

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2006 gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on June 30, 2006. Under purchase accounting, the purchase price is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values.

The following information on the components and allocation of the purchase price is based on StoneMor Partners’ preliminary evaluation and review of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and may change as those evaluations and reviews are completed. Among other things, the consideration paid by StoneMor may be different than the estimated purchase price below as a result of the result of certain adjustments in the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. These elements include, but are not limited to, adjustments for accounts receivable amounts, merchandise trust amounts and perpetual care trust amounts above or below an agreed upon level, as provided in the Purchase Agreement and increased by any amounts which may become payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
