PROFILE |
 |
Although it buries its customers, Carriage Services hasn't come close to burying its competition. Though it's one of the largest US death care companies, it trails far behind Service Corporation International and other big rivals. Carriage runs more than 170 funeral homes and about 40 cemeteries in 30-plus states, with concentrations in California, Florida, Kentucky, Ohio, and Texas. It removes and prepares remains, sells caskets and memorials, provides transportation services, hosts visitations and ceremonies, performs burials, and maintains cemetery grounds. Carriage is pursuing management deals at municipal cemeteries as a new avenue for growth. CEO Melvin Payne controls 17% of Carriage's voting power.
