Company Description

Though it buries its customers, Carriage Services hasn't come close to burying its competition. The company is a large US death care company, but it trails far behind Service Corporation International and that company's smaller rivals Stewart Enterprises and StoneMor Partners. Carriage Services, established in 1993, runs about 160 funeral homes (owned and leased) in some 25 states and more than 30 cemeteries (owned and leased) operating in a dozen states, mostly in California, Massachusetts, and Texas. The company removes and prepares remains, sells caskets and memorials, provides transportation services, performs ceremonies and burials, and maintains cemeteries.

    Competitive Landscape Brief

    Demand for services is driven mainly by the number of older Americans. The profitability of individual companies depends on sales and marketing and efficient operations, because local demand is relatively fixed. The main advantage of large companies is their ability to share resources (limos and hearses, embalmers, and marketing costs) among clusters of funeral homes. Small operators can compete successfully with national companies because the funeral business is intensely local. The industry is labor-intensive: annual revenue per employee is about $115,000.
