This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed to be forward-looking

statements within the meaning of the Securities Acts. All statements, other than statements of

historical facts, that address activities, events or developments that the Partnership expects,

projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including, without limitation, the

outlook for population growth and death rates, general industry conditions including future

operating results of the Partnerships properties, capital expenditures, asset sales, expansion and

growth opportunities, bank borrowings, financing activities and other such matters, are forward-

looking statements. Although the Partnership believes that its expectations stated in this

presentation are based on reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ from those

projected in the forward-looking statements. For a more detailed discussion of risk factors,

please refer to the annual Report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on form 10-Q filed with the

SEC and the prospectus and the prospectus supplement relating to this offering.

In addition, the projected impact of acquisitions reflect managements projections as to possible

future results based on a number of assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including without

limitation the organic growth of the Partnership, the availability of acquisition targets, the

purchase prices for the targets, the availability of debt or equity financing from either third parties

or the targets and the Partnership’s ability to integrate and manage such acquisitions. The

assumptions involve significant elements of subjective judgment and analysis, and no

representation is made as to their or the projections attainability.

PROJECTED U.S. POPULATION IN 55-65 YEAR OLD CATEGORY

Target Market More

Resilient to

Economic

Downturns

Target 55 to 65 age range

Near retirement – low unemployment risk

Mortgage paid-off (or almost) – minimal debt obligations

Adult children – no tuition costs

Page 19: NAPTP MLP Conference

Substantial Industry and Financial Barriers to Entry

Scarcity and cost of real estate near densely populated areas

Zoning restrictions

Initial capital requirements

Strength of family tradition and heritage

Administratively complex business for new entrants

Deferred revenue accounting (SAB 101) makes cemetery

acquisitions unattractive to “C-corps” valued on EPS and EBITDA,

keeping consolidators out of the market

19

Barriers to Entry

Because of the barriers to entry, there are few new cemeteries built. The only way to enter

the industry is to buy an existing cemetery
