Carriage Services, Inc. (NYSE: CSV) is a Houston-based provider of funeral and cemetery services and merchandise across the United States, founded in 1991 and publicly listed since 1996. The company operates through two reportable segments: Funeral Home Operations, which offers consultation, visitation and memorial facilities, transportation, remains preparation, cremation, and the sale of caskets and urns, and Cemetery Operations, which sells interment rights (grave sites, lawn crypts, mausoleum spaces, and niches), cemetery merchandise such as markers and monuments, and related installation services. The deathcare industry in which Carriage competes is characterized by relatively stable, non-cyclical demand driven by demographic mortality trends, and consolidation has been a long-running theme as smaller independent operators are absorbed by larger multi-location providers like CSV.
