Deferred Preneed Receipts Held in Trust and Care Trusts’ Corpus

Deferred Preneed Receipts Held in Trust

We consolidate the merchandise and service trusts associated with our preneed activities. Although the consolidation of the merchandise and service trusts is required by accounting standards, it does not change the legal relationships among the trusts, us, or our customers. The customers are the legal beneficiaries of these merchandise and service trusts, and therefore their interests in these trusts represent a liability to us.

The components of Deferred preneed receipts held in trust in our unaudited condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are detailed below.
