We are excited to see the positive impact in funeral revenue from our new marketing agreement with our new preferred preneed insurance provider, which launched during the quarter. Additionally, we are pleased both funeral and cemetery gross profit were relatively stable versus the prior year third quarter with modest revenue growth reflecting our continued focus on managing fixed costs.”
