1. | GENERAL |
A. | The Partnership understated recognized revenues from the satisfaction of cemetery and funeral home performance obligations in its condensed consolidated statement of operations. The understatement was primarily due to lags in or omissions of the data entry of a contract servicing event. The adjustments to correct these accounting errors resulted in a net increase of $0.7 million in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016, of which $0.6 million related to merchandise revenues, and a net increase of $1.9 million in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016, of which $1.6 million related to merchandise revenues. |
B. | In conjunction with the foregoing revenue recognition errors, on its condensed consolidated balance sheet, the Partnership had historically (i) deferred incorrect and imprecise amounts of investment revenues and expenses related to its merchandise trusts, (ii) reserved incorrect amounts for future cancellations related to its cemetery and funeral home performance obligations, and (iii) deferred incorrect amounts of selling costs. The correction of these accounting errors resulted in a net increase in “Selling expense” of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The correction of these accounting errors resulted in a net increase in “Cemetery investment and other revenues” of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 due to changes in the inputs used to calculate trust income recognition. This also resulted in a decrease in “Cemetery merchandise revenues” of $0.1 million due to an increase in cancellation reserve expense and an increase in “Selling expense” of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. |
C. | Certain components of “Other current assets” and “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” on its condensed consolidated balance sheet were determined to be inappropriate in the Partnership’s review of accounting policies during its ongoing remediation. The Partnership had historically presented intercompany deposits due to its merchandise and perpetual care trust funds within “Other current assets” and presented intercompany payables to its merchandise and perpetual care trusts in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”. The Partnership has determined the intercompany payables and liabilities to its consolidated trust funds should be eliminated. The correction of the error resulted in a reclassification of $1.0 million in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows between "Other assets" and "Payables and other liabilities" for the six months ended June 30, 2016. |
D. | Specific to the Partnership’s disclosure in Note 11, Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Information (“Note 11”), the Partnership recorded incorrect amounts for its individual cemetery and funeral home location-level equity and intercompany balances at its formation and in subsequent acquisitions. Additionally, the Partnership presented certain managed locations as guarantor subsidiaries instead of non-guarantor subsidiaries in Note 11. Note that this error had no impact to amounts presented on the face of the condensed consolidated financial statements. |
E. | The Partnership incorrectly presented the changes in “Accounts receivable, net of allowance” net of the income statement “Provision for cancellations” and omitted certain disclosures regarding the components of the changes in “Accounts receivable, net of allowance” and “Deferred revenues” in its condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Additionally, specific to the Partnership’s related disclosure in Note 2, Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance, the Partnership presented activity in the allowance for cancellations that related to deferred revenues on a gross basis instead of on a net basis. The correction of the error resulted in a reclassification of $6.3 million in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows between "Provision for cancellations" and "Accounts receivable, net of allowance" for the six months ended June 30, 2016. |

• | Anderson v. StoneMor Partners, LP, et al., No. 2:16-cv-06111, filed on November 21, 2016, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The plaintiffs in this case (as well as Klein v. StoneMor Partners, LP, et al., No. 2:16-cv-06275, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on December 2, 2016, which has been consolidated with this case) brought an action on behalf of a putative class of the holders of Partnership units and allege that the Partnership made misrepresentations to investors in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by, among other things and in general, failing to clearly disclose the use of proceeds from debt and equity offerings by making allegedly false or misleading statements concerning (a) the Partnership’s strength or health in connection with a particular quarter’s distribution announcement, (b) the connection between operations and distributions and (c) the Partnership’s use of cash from equity offerings and its credit facility. Lead plaintiffs have been appointed in this case, and filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint on April 24, 2017. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss that Consolidated Amended Complaint on June 8, 2017. See Note 15 for a discussion of the status of this motion. Plaintiffs seek damages from the Partnership and certain of its officers and directors on behalf of the class of Partnership unitholders, as well as costs and attorneys’ fees. |
• | Bunim v. Miller, et al., No. 2:17-cv-00519-ER, pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and filed on February 6, 2017. The plaintiff in this case brought, derivatively on behalf of the Partnership, claims that StoneMor GP’s officers and directors aided and abetted in breaches of StoneMor GP’s purported fiduciary duties by, among other things and in general, allegedly making misrepresentations through the use of non-GAAP accounting standards in its public filings, by allegedly failing to clearly disclose the use of proceeds from debt and equity offerings, and by allegedly approving unsustainable distributions. The plaintiff also claims that these actions and misrepresentations give rise to causes of action for gross mismanagement, unjust enrichment, and (in connection with a purportedly misleading proxy statement filed in 2014) violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The derivative plaintiff seeks an award of damages, attorneys’ fees and costs in favor of the Partnership as nominal plaintiff, as well as general compliance and governance changes. This case has been stayed, by the agreement of the parties, pending final resolution of the motion to dismiss filed in the Anderson case, provided that either side may terminate the stay on 30 days' notice. See Note 15 for a discussion of the status of this motion. |
• | Muth v. StoneMor G.P. LLC, et al., December Term, 2016, No. 01196 and Binder v. StoneMor G.P. LLC, et al., January Term, 2017, No. 04872, both pending in the Court of Common Pleas for Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, and filed on December 20, 2016 and February 3, 2017, respectively. In these cases, the plaintiffs brought, derivatively on behalf of the Partnership, claims that StoneMor GP’s officers and directors aided and abetted in breaches of StoneMor GP’s purported fiduciary duties by, among other things and in general, allegedly making misrepresentations through the use of non-GAAP accounting standards in its public filings and by failing to clearly disclose the use of proceeds from debt and equity offerings, as well as approving unsustainable distributions. The plaintiffs also claim that these actions and misrepresentations give rise to a cause of action for unjust enrichment. The derivative plaintiffs seek an award of damages, attorneys’ fees and costs in favor of the Partnership as nominal plaintiff, as well as alterations to the procedures for electing members to the board of StoneMor GP, and other compliance and governance changes. These cases have been consolidated and stayed, by the agreement of the parties, pending final resolution of the motion to dismiss filed in the Anderson case, provided that either side may terminate the stay on 30 days' notice.

ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
• | Anderson v. StoneMor Partners, LP, et al., No. 2:16-cv-06111, filed on November 21, 2016, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The plaintiffs in this case (as well as Klein v. StoneMor Partners, LP, et al., No. 2:16-cv-06275, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on December 2, 2016, which has been consolidated with this case) brought an action on behalf of a putative class of the holders of Partnership units and allege that the Partnership made misrepresentations to investors in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by, among other things and in general, failing to clearly disclose the use of proceeds from debt and equity offerings by making allegedly false or misleading statements concerning (a) the Partnership’s strength or health in connection with a particular quarter’s distribution announcement, (b) the connection between operations and distributions and (c) the Partnership’s use of cash from equity offerings and its credit facility. Plaintiffs sought damages from the Partnership and certain of its officers and directors on behalf of the class of Partnership unitholders, as well as costs and attorneys’ fees. Lead plaintiffs have been appointed in this case, and filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint on April 24, 2017. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss that Consolidated Amended Complaint on June 8, 2017. The motion was granted on October 31, 2017, and the court entered judgment dismissing the case on November 30, 2017. The plaintiffs have a period of 30 days in which to appeal that judgment. |
• | Bunim v. Miller, et al., No. 2:17-cv-00519-ER, pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and filed on February 6, 2017. The plaintiff in this case brought, derivatively on behalf of the Partnership, claims that StoneMor GP’s officers and directors aided and abetted in breaches of StoneMor GP’s purported fiduciary duties by, among other things and in general, allegedly making misrepresentations through the use of non-GAAP accounting standards in its public filings, by allegedly failing to clearly disclose the use of proceeds from debt and equity offerings, and by allegedly approving unsustainable distributions. The plaintiff also claims that these actions and misrepresentations give rise to causes of action for gross mismanagement, unjust enrichment, and (in connection with a purportedly misleading proxy statement filed in 2014) violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The derivative plaintiff seeks an award of damages, attorneys’ fees and costs in favor of the Partnership as nominal plaintiff, as well as general compliance and governance changes. This case has been stayed, by the agreement of the parties, pending final resolution of the motion to dismiss filed in the Anderson case, provided that either side may terminate the stay on 30 days’ notice. |
• | Muth v. StoneMor G.P. LLC, et al., December Term, 2016, No. 01196 and Binder v. StoneMor G.P. LLC, et al., January Term, 2017, No. 04872, both pending in the Court of Common Pleas for Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, and filed on December 20, 2016 and February 3, 2017, respectively. In these cases, the plaintiffs brought, derivatively on behalf of the Partnership, claims that StoneMor GP’s officers and directors aided and abetted in breaches of StoneMor GP’s purported fiduciary duties by, among other things and in general, allegedly making misrepresentations through the use of non-GAAP accounting standards in its public filings and by failing to clearly disclose the use of proceeds from debt and equity offerings, as well as approving unsustainable distributions. The plaintiffs also claim that these actions and misrepresentations give rise to a cause of action for unjust enrichment. The derivative plaintiffs seek an award of damages, attorneys’ fees and costs in favor of the Partnership as nominal plaintiff, as well as alterations to the procedures for electing members to the board of StoneMor GP, and other compliance and governance changes. These cases have been consolidated and stayed, by the agreement of the parties, pending final resolution of the motion to dismiss filed in the Anderson case, provided that either side may terminate the stay on 30 days’ notice. |

GENERAL |
Nature of Operations StoneMor Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a provider of funeral and cemetery products and services in the death care industry in the United States. As of June 30, 2017, the Partnership operated 316 cemeteries in 27 states and Puerto Rico, of which 285 are owned and 31 are operated under lease, management or operating agreements. The Partnership also owned and operated 98 funeral homes, including 45 located on the grounds of cemetery properties that we own, in 18 states and Puerto Rico. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which are unaudited except for the balance sheet at December 31, 2016, which is derived from audited financial statements, have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. They do not include all disclosures normally made in financial statements contained in Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed have been made. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto presented in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending December 31, 2017. Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of each of the Partnership’s 100% owned subsidiaries. These statements also include the accounts of the merchandise and perpetual care trusts in which the Partnership has a variable interest and is the primary beneficiary. The Partnership operates 31 cemeteries under long-term lease, operating or management contracts. The operations of 16 of these managed cemeteries have been consolidated. The Partnership operates 15 cemeteries under long-term leases and other agreements that do not qualify as acquisitions for accounting purposes. As a result, the Partnership did not consolidate all of the existing assets and liabilities related to these cemeteries. The Partnership has consolidated the existing assets and liabilities of the merchandise and perpetual care trusts associated with these cemeteries as variable interest entities since the Partnership controls and receives the benefits and absorbs any losses from operating these trusts. Under the long-term leases, and other agreements associated with these properties, which are subject to certain termination provisions, the Partnership is the exclusive operator of these cemeteries and earns revenues related to sales of merchandise, services and interment rights, and incurs expenses related to such sales, including the maintenance and upkeep of these cemeteries. Upon termination of these contracts, the Partnership will retain all of the benefits and related contractual obligations incurred from sales generated during the contract period. The Partnership has also recognized the existing customer contract related performance obligations that it assumed as part of these agreements. Restatement of Previously Issued Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements On September 18, 2017, the Partnership filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which amended the Partnership's audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2015 and the related notes thereto. This Form 10-Q amends the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the related notes thereto, included on Form 10-Q/A filed on November 9, 2016 ("Original Filing"). The Restatement reflects the correction of the following errors identified subsequent to the Original Filing:
The effect of these adjustments on the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 is summarized below for each affected caption (in thousands, except per unit data):
As shown above, the adjustments affecting the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the period noted are included in the Partnership’s net loss from operations and offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities. There were no adjustments related to cash used in investing and financing activities. Uses and Sources of Liquidity Our primary use of liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of our businesses, capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes, including debt repayment and distributions. As more fully discussed in Note 7, the terms of the Partnership's senior credit facility, as amended, place certain restrictions on the Partnership’s ability to increase and make distributions and obtain additional debt. Finally, the Partnership has incurred net losses for the reporting periods in this Form 10-Q, and the Consolidated Leverage Ratio under the credit facility has been nearing the maximum allowed ratio under existing covenants as disclosed in Note 7. During 2016 and 2017, the Partnership completed various financing transactions to provide supplemental liquidity necessary to achieve management’s strategic objectives, including issuance of common units, utilization of the at-the-market equity program and establishment of a new credit facility which, as discussed more fully in Note 7 and Note 15, was further amended during 2017. The Partnership acknowledges that it continues to face a challenging competitive environment, and while the Partnership continues to focus on its overall profitability, including managing expenses, the Partnership reported a loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The Partnership expects that the actions taken in 2016 and 2017 will enhance its liquidity and financial flexibility. The Partnership will likely seek to continue to supplement cash generation with proceeds from financing activities, including borrowings under the credit facility and other borrowings, the issuance of additional limited partner units, capital contributions from the general partner and the sale of assets and other transactions. As of June 30, 2017, the Partnership had $3.5 million of total available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility. If the Partnership continues to experience operating losses and is not able to generate additional liquidity through the mechanisms described above or through some combination of other actions, the Partnership may be in breach of its covenants under the credit facility, and may not be able to access additional funds and the Partnership might need to secure additional sources of funds, which may or may not be available to the Partnership. Additionally, a failure to generate additional liquidity could negatively impact our access to inventory or services that are important to the operation of our business. Moreover, our ability to declare or pay future distributions may be impacted. Given the Partnership's current level of cash and cash equivalents, to preserve capital resources and liquidity, the Board of Directors of the General Partner has concluded that it is not in the best interest of unitholders to pay a second or third quarter 2017 distribution to unitholders. The Board expects to consider appropriate levels of distributions if and as conditions improve. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Refer to Note 1 to the Partnership's audited consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for the complete summary of significant accounting policies. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. The Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates, including revenue and expense accruals, depreciation and amortization, merchandise trust and perpetual care trust asset valuation, allowance for cancellations, unit-based compensation, deferred revenues, deferred merchandise trust investment earnings, deferred selling and obtaining costs, assets and liabilities obtained through business combinations and income taxes. As a result, actual results could differ from those estimates. Assets Held for Sale We classify our assets or entities as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:
When the disposals of components of an entity or components of an entity that are classified as held for sale represent a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results we account for such disposals as discontinued operations. Otherwise when the held for sale criteria is met but the disposal does not meet the criteria to be treated as discontinued operations, the assets or disposal group are reclassified from the corresponding balance sheet line items to held for sale. Assets classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market, with any gain or loss on sale recorded in "Other gains (losses), net" in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Partnership classified certain assets of three cemeteries and three funeral homes as held for sale at June 30, 2017 and no assets at December 31, 2016. The contributions of revenues and earnings by these assets in 2017 were not material. Assets held for sale consisted of the following at the date indicated (in thousands):
The Partnership recorded a loss on impairment of $1.0 million in "Other gains (losses), net" in the current period on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, given the net book value of the assets of two of these funeral home properties exceeded their estimated fair value. In addition, for those assets that do not currently meet the classification as discontinued operations or held for sale, where, however, as a result of strategic discussions with third parties information is identified that an asset may be impaired an interim assessment of impairment is performed to determine whether the carrying value is impaired. At June 30, 2017, the Partnership conducted an interim assessment with regards to certain assets held for use of two funeral homes with net book value of $0.9 million held for use and recognized a loss on impairment of $0.4 million in "Other gains (losses), net" on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, resulting in an updated net book value of $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is subject to impairment testing on an annual basis, and between annual tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying amount. No such events have occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Goodwill totaled approximately $70.4 million as of both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Income Taxes The Partnership is not subject to U.S. federal and most state income taxes. The partners of the Partnership are liable for income tax in regard to their distributive share of the Partnership’s taxable income. Such taxable income may vary substantially from net income reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain corporate subsidiaries are subject to federal and state income tax. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and tax carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Partnership records a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets if it deems that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realizable in future periods. The change in the deferred tax liability during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was caused by an increase in deferred tax liabilities associated with long-lived intangibles that will reverse after the expiration of the existing deferred tax assets. Net Income (Loss) per Common Unit Basic net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners, which is determined after the deduction of the general partner’s interest, by the weighted average number of common limited partner units outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners is determined by deducting net income attributable to participating securities, if applicable, and net income (loss) attributable to the general partner’s units. The general partner’s interest in net income (loss) is calculated on a quarterly basis based upon its units and incentive distributions to be distributed for the quarter, with a priority allocation of net income to the general partner’s incentive distributions, if any, in accordance with the partnership agreement, and the remaining net income (loss) allocated with respect to the general partner’s and limited partners’ ownership interests. The Partnership presents net income (loss) per unit under the two-class method for master limited partnerships, which considers whether the incentive distributions of a master limited partnership represent a participating security when considered in the calculation of earnings per unit under the two-class method. The two-class method considers whether the partnership agreement contains any contractual limitations concerning distributions to the incentive distribution rights that would impact the amount of earnings to allocate to the incentive distribution rights for each reporting period. If distributions are contractually limited to the incentive distribution rights’ share of currently designated available cash for distributions as defined under the partnership agreement, undistributed earnings in excess of available cash should not be allocated to the incentive distribution rights. Under the two-class method, management of the Partnership believes the partnership agreement contractually limits cash distributions to available cash; therefore, undistributed earnings in excess of available cash are not allocated to the incentive distribution rights. The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) allocated to the common limited partners for purposes of calculating net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit (in thousands):
Diluted net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners, less income allocable to participating securities, by the sum of the weighted average number of common limited partner units outstanding and the dilutive effect of unit option awards, as calculated by the treasury stock or if converted methods, as applicable. These awards consist of common units issuable upon payment of an exercise price by the participant under the terms of the Partnership’s long-term incentive plan. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Partnership’s weighted average number of common limited partner units used to compute basic net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit with those used to compute diluted net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit (in thousands):
_____________________________
Recently Issued Accounting Standard Updates - Not Yet Effective In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and in most industry-specific topics. The new guidance identifies how and when entities should recognize revenue. The new rules establish a core principle requiring the recognition of revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services. In connection with this new standard, the FASB has issued several amendments to ASU 2014-09, as follows:
The new guidance in ASU 2014-09, as well as all amendments discussed above, is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The new guidance permits two methods of adoption, full retrospective or modified retrospective and we intend to implement the standard with the modified retrospective approach, which recognizes the cumulative effect of application recognized on that date. Management has developed an implementation plan and is continuing to evaluate the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the financial statements of the Partnership. Management continues to monitor modifications, clarifications and interpretations issued by the FASB. Management's implementation plan includes the following:
Although the Partnership has not yet fully determined the impact of the new standard on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, cash flows and financial statement disclosures, management expects that there will be an impact to the financial reporting disclosures and internal control over financial reporting. Management is currently considering the impact of the new guidance on the key revenue policies. The Partnership will adopt the requirements of the new standard upon its effective date of January 1, 2018. In the first quarter of 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments (Subtopic 825-10) (“ASU 2016-01”). The core principle of ASU 2016-01 is that all equity investments should be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted for the key aspects of the amendment. The Partnership will adopt the requirements of ASU 2016-01 upon its effective date of January 1, 2018, and is evaluating the potential impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. In the first quarter of 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The core principle of ASU 2016-02 is that all leases create an asset and a liability for lessees and recognition of those lease assets and lease liabilities represents an improvement over previous GAAP, which did not require lease assets and lease liabilities to be recognized for most leases. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Partnership plans to adopt the requirements of ASU 2016-02 upon its effective date of January 1, 2019, and is evaluating the potential impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. In the second quarter of 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-13, Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”). The core principle of ASU 2016-13 is that all assets measured at amortized cost basis should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected using historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts as a basis for credit loss estimates, instead of the probable initial recognition threshold used under current GAAP. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Partnership plans to adopt the requirements of ASU 2016-13 upon its effective date of January 1, 2020, and is evaluating the potential impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. In the third quarter of 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). The core principle of ASU 2016-15 is to provide cash flow statement classification guidance. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Partnership plans to adopt the requirements of ASU 2016-15 upon its effective date of January 1, 2018, and is evaluating the potential impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). The core principle of ASU 2016-18 is to provide guidance on the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Partnership plans to adopt the requirements of ASU 2016-18 upon its effective date of January 1, 2018, and is evaluating the potential impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. In the first quarter of 2017, the FASB issued Update No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business. The amendments affect all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The amendments are intended to help companies and other organizations evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Partnership is evaluating the potential impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. In the first quarter of 2017, the FASB also issued Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) (“ASU 2017-04”) to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, impairment is defined as the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, up to the total amount of goodwill. The Partnership plans to adopt the requirements of ASU 2017-04 upon its effective date of January 1, 2020, and is evaluating the impact, if any, on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. |

MERCHANDISE TRUSTS |
At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Partnership’s merchandise trusts consisted of investments in debt and equity marketable securities and cash equivalents, both directly as well as through mutual and investment funds. All of these investments are classified as available for sale, and accordingly, all of the assets are carried at fair value. All of the investments subject to the fair value hierarchy are considered either Level 1 or Level 2 assets pursuant to the three-level hierarchy described in Note 10. There were no Level 3 assets. The merchandise trusts are variable interest entities ("VIE") of which the Partnership is the primary beneficiary. The assets held in the merchandise trusts are required to be used to purchase the merchandise and provide the services to which they relate. If the value of these assets falls below the cost of purchasing such merchandise and providing such services, the Partnership may be required to fund this shortfall. The Partnership included $8.9 million and $8.6 million of investments held in trust by the West Virginia Funeral Directors Association at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, in its merchandise trust assets. As required by law, the Partnership deposits a portion of certain funeral merchandise sales in West Virginia into a trust that is held by the West Virginia Funeral Directors Association. These trusts are recognized at their account value, which approximates fair value. A reconciliation of the Partnership’s merchandise trust activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is presented below (in thousands):
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, purchases of available for sale securities were $269.2 million and $47.1 million, respectively, while sales, maturities and paydowns of available for sale securities were $285.1 million and $28.1 million, respectively. Cash flows from pre-need customer contracts are presented as operating cash flows in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The cost and market value associated with the assets held in the merchandise trusts as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows (in thousands):

Temporary Declines in Fair Value The Partnership evaluates declines in fair value below cost for each asset held in the merchandise trusts on a quarterly basis. An aging of unrealized losses on the Partnership’s investments in debt and equity securities within the merchandise trusts as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is presented below (in thousands):
For all securities in an unrealized loss position, the Partnership evaluated the severity of the impairment and length of time that a security has been in a loss position and concluded the decline in fair value below the asset’s cost was temporary in nature. In addition, the Partnership is not aware of any circumstances that would prevent the future market value recovery for these securities. Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Trust Assets The Partnership assesses its merchandise trust assets for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Partnership determined that there were no other-than-temporary impairments to the investment portfolio in the merchandise trusts. |

LONG-TERM DEBT |
Total debt consisted of the following at the dates indicated (in thousands):
Credit Facility On August 4, 2016, StoneMor Operating LLC (the “Operating Company”), a 100% owned subsidiary of the Partnership, entered into the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among each of the Subsidiaries of the Operating Company (together with the Operating Company, “Borrowers”), the Lenders identified therein, Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”), as Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, as Syndication Agent, and TD Bank, N.A. and Raymond James Bank, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agents. In addition, on the same date, the Partnership, the Borrowers and Capital One, as Administrative Agent, entered into the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement,” and together with the Credit Agreement, “New Agreements”). Capitalized terms which are not defined in the following description of the New Agreements shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the New Agreements, as amended. On March 15, 2017, the Borrowers, Capital One, as Administrative Agent and acting in accordance with the written consent of the Required Lenders, entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement (as so amended, the "Original Credit Agreement"). The Original Credit Agreement provided for up to $210.0 million initial aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments, which may be increased, from time to time, in minimum increments of $5.0 million so long as the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $100.0 million. The Operating Company may also request the issuance of Letters of Credit for up to $15.0 million in the aggregate, of which there were $7.5 million outstanding at June 30, 2017 and $6.8 million outstanding at December 31, 2016. The Maturity Date under the Original Credit Agreement is the earlier of (i) August 4, 2021 and (ii) the date that is six months prior to the earliest scheduled maturity date of any outstanding Permitted Unsecured Indebtedness (at present, such date is December 1, 2020, which is six months prior to June 1, 2021 maturity date of outstanding 7.875% senior notes). As of June 30, 2017, the outstanding amount of borrowings under the Original Credit Agreement was $142.9 million, which was used to pay down outstanding obligations under the Partnership's prior credit agreement, to pay fees, costs and expenses related to the New Agreements and to fund working capital needs. Generally, proceeds of the Loans under the Original Credit Agreement can be used to finance the working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and Guarantors, including acquisitions and distributions permitted under the Original Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2017, the Partnership had $3.5 million of total available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility. Each Borrowing under the Original Credit Agreement is comprised of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate, and the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Rate. The Applicable Rate is determined based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries and ranges from 1.75% to 3.75% for Eurodollar Rate Loans and 0.75% to 2.75% for Base Rate Loans. Based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the compliance period ended June 30, 2017, the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans was 3.75% and for Base Rate Loans was 2.75%. The Original Credit Agreement also requires the Borrowers to pay a quarterly unused commitment fee, which accrues at the Applicable Rate on the amount by which the commitments under the Original Credit Agreement exceed the usage of such commitments, and which is included within interest expense on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. On June 30, 2017, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Original Credit Agreement was 5.0%. The Original Credit Agreement contains financial covenants, pursuant to which the Partnership will not permit:
As of June 30, 2017, the Partnership’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 4.21 compared to a maximum allowable ratio of 4.25, and the Consolidated Debt Service Coverage Ratio was 3.33 compared to a minimum required ratio of 2.50. The Original Credit Agreement prohibits the Partnership from increasing its regularly scheduled quarterly cash distributions otherwise permitted under the Original Credit Agreement until January 1, 2018 unless at the time such distribution is declared and on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the payment of any such distribution the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is no greater than 3.75:1.00. Additional covenants include customary limitations, subject to certain exceptions, on, among others: (i) the incurrence of Indebtedness; (ii) granting of Liens; (iii) fundamental changes and dispositions; (iv) investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions; (v) swap agreements; (vi) transactions with Affiliates; (vii) Restricted Payments; and (viii) Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Partnership was in compliance with the Original Credit Agreement covenants as of June 30, 2017. The Borrowers’ obligations under the Original Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Partnership and the Borrowers. Pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement, the Borrowers’ obligations under the Original Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien and security interest (subject to permitted liens and security interests) in substantially all of the Partnership’s and Borrowers’ assets, whether then owned or thereafter acquired, excluding certain excluded assets, which include, among others: (i) Trust Accounts, certain proceeds required by law to be placed into such Trust Accounts and funds held in such Trust Accounts; and (ii) Excluded Real Property, including owned and leased real property that may not be pledged as a matter of law. On July 26, 2017, StoneMor Operating LLC (the “Operating Company”), a 100% owned subsidiary of StoneMor Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”), the Subsidiaries (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of the Operating Company (together with the Operating Company, “Borrowers”), the Lenders party thereto and Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”), as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), entered into a Second Amendment and Limited Waiver (the "Second Amendment") and those parties subsequently entered into a Third Amendment and Limited Waiver effective as of August 15, 2017 (the "Third Amendment") and a Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated September 29, 2017 (the “Fourth Amendment”). The cumulative effect of the Second Amendment, Third Amendment and Fourth Amendment was to modify the Original Credit Agreement to:
Senior Notes On May 28, 2013, the Partnership issued $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Senior Notes”). The Partnership pays 7.875% interest per annum on the principal amount of the Senior Notes, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The net proceeds from the offering were used to retire a $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.25% Senior Notes due 2017 and the remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. The Senior Notes were issued at 97.832% of par resulting in gross proceeds of $171.2 million with an original issue discount of approximately $3.8 million. The Partnership incurred debt issuance costs and fees of approximately $4.6 million. These costs and fees are deferred and are being amortized over the life of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes mature on June 1, 2021. At any time on or after June 1, 2016, we may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) set forth below, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning June 1 of the years indicated:
Subject to certain exceptions, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), each holder of the Senior Notes will have the right to require the Partnership to purchase that holder’s Senior Notes for a cash price equal to 101% of the principal amounts to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of the Partnership’s subsidiaries. The Indenture governing the Senior Notes contains covenants, including limitations of the Partnership’s ability to incur certain additional indebtedness and liens, make certain dividends, distributions, redemptions or investments, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, make certain asset sales, and engage in certain mergers, consolidations or sales of all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets, among other items. As of June 30, 2017, the Partnership was in compliance with these covenants. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Legal The Partnership is currently subject to class or collective actions under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and for related state law claims that certain of our officers and directors breached their fiduciary duty to the Partnership and its unitholders. The Partnership could also become subject to additional claims and legal proceedings relating to the factual allegations made in these actions. While management cannot reasonably estimate the potential exposure in these matters at this time, if the Partnership does not prevail in any such proceedings, the Partnership could be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs, subject to certain insurance coverages. Management has determined that, based on the status of the claims and legal proceedings against us, the amount of the potential losses cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. These actions are summarized below.
The Partnership has received two subpoenas from the Philadelphia Regional Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Enforcement Division, in connection with a fact-finding as to whether violations of federal securities laws have occurred. The subpoenas themselves state that the fact-finding should not be construed as an indication that any violations of securities laws occurred. The first subpoena, received on April 25, 2017, sought information from us relating to, among other things, our prior restatements, financial statements, internal control over financial reporting, public disclosures, use of non-GAAP financial measures and matters pertaining to unitholder distributions and the sources of funds therefor. The second subpoena, received on July 13, 2017, sought information relating to protection of our confidential information and our policies regarding insider trading. We are continuing to cooperate with the SEC staff, by providing information requested in the first subpoena, and we have delivered all information requested in the second, more limited, subpoena. The Partnership is party to other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business but does not expect the outcome of any such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Partnership carries insurance with coverage and coverage limits that it believes to be customary in the cemetery and funeral home industry. Although there can be no assurance that such insurance will be sufficient to protect the Partnership against all contingencies, management believes that the insurance protection is reasonable in view of the nature and scope of the operations. Other During the first quarter of 2016, the Partnership moved its corporate headquarters to Trevose, Pennsylvania. Due to the relocation, a cease-use expense of $2.4 million, of which $0.5 million was incurred in the first quarter of 2016, was recorded in “Other gains (losses), net” on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. This charge represents the net recognition of the discounted liability for future rent payments due under the lease on the previous headquarters, net of estimated sublease collections and deferred rent and lease incentives pertaining to the previous corporate office location. In connection with the Partnership’s lease and management agreements with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, it has committed to pay aggregate fixed rent of $36.0 million in the following amounts:
The fixed rent for lease years 6 through 11, an aggregate of $6.0 million, is deferred. If, prior to May 31, 2024, the Archdiocese exercises its right in its sole discretion to terminate the agreements during lease year 11 or the Partnership terminates the agreements as a result of a default by the Archdiocese, the Partnership is entitled to retain the deferred fixed rent. If the agreements are not terminated, the deferred fixed rent will become due and payable on or before June 30, 2024. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |||||||
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Management has established a hierarchy to measure the Partnership’s financial instruments at fair value, which requires it to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources, whereas unobservable inputs reflect the Partnership’s own market assumptions, which are used if observable inputs are not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. The hierarchy defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the same contractual term of the asset or liability. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity but rather through particular valuation techniques. The Partnership’s current assets and liabilities and customer receivables, excluding assets held for sale, on its condensed consolidated balance sheets are similar to cash basis financial instruments, and their estimated fair values approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature and thus are categorized as Level 1. The Partnership’s merchandise and perpetual care trusts consist of investments in debt and equity marketable securities and cash equivalents, are carried at fair value, and are considered either Level 1 or Level 2 (see Notes 5 and 6). Where quoted prices are available in active markets, securities are classified as Level 1 investments pursuant to the fair value measurement hierarchy. Where quoted market prices are not available for the specific security, fair values are estimated by using either quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or an income approach fair value model with observable inputs that include a combination of interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, prepayment speeds, rating and tax-exempt status. These securities are classified as Level 2 investments pursuant to the fair value measurement hierarchy. Certain investments in the merchandise and perpetual care trusts are excluded from the fair value leveling hierarchy in accordance with GAAP. These funds are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient and have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The Partnership’s other financial instruments as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consist of its Senior Notes and outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility (see Note 7). The estimated fair values of the Partnership’s Senior Notes as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $177.2 million and $168.0 million, respectively, based on trades made on those dates, compared with the carrying amounts of $172.9 million and $172.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying values of outstanding borrowings under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility (see Note 7), which bears interest at variable interest rates with maturities of 90 days or less, approximated their estimated fair values. The Senior Notes and the credit facility are valued using Level 2 inputs. |

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
On July 26, 2017, the Borrowers, Capital One, as Administrative Agent and acting in accordance with the written consent of the Required Lenders, entered into the Second Amendment and Limited Waiver. Those parties subsequently entered into a Third Amendment and Limited Waiver effective as of August 15, 2017 and a Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated September 29, 2017. See Note 7 for a discussion of the cumulative effect of these amendments. The Partnership operates certain cemetery and funeral home properties in Florida and Puerto Rico, which were affected by hurricanes during September 2017. The Partnership is currently assessing potential losses caused by these events, which could reach a maximum exposure of $10.1 million. As these events occurred in September 2017, no liability for the estimated losses incurred has been recorded within the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto. On October 31, 2017, the court granted defendants' motion to dismiss the Consolidated Amended Complaint in the Anderson case discussed in Note 9. The court entered judgment dismissing the case on November 30, 2017, and the plaintiffs have a period of 30 days in which to appeal that judgment. |

Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which are unaudited except for the balance sheet at December 31, 2016, which is derived from audited financial statements, have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. They do not include all disclosures normally made in financial statements contained in Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed have been made. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto presented in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending December 31, 2017. |

Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of each of the Partnership’s 100% owned subsidiaries. These statements also include the accounts of the merchandise and perpetual care trusts in which the Partnership has a variable interest and is the primary beneficiary. The Partnership operates 31 cemeteries under long-term lease, operating or management contracts. The operations of 16 of these managed cemeteries have been consolidated. The Partnership operates 15 cemeteries under long-term leases and other agreements that do not qualify as acquisitions for accounting purposes. As a result, the Partnership did not consolidate all of the existing assets and liabilities related to these cemeteries. The Partnership has consolidated the existing assets and liabilities of the merchandise and perpetual care trusts associated with these cemeteries as variable interest entities since the Partnership controls and receives the benefits and absorbs any losses from operating these trusts. Under the long-term leases, and other agreements associated with these properties, which are subject to certain termination provisions, the Partnership is the exclusive operator of these cemeteries and earns revenues related to sales of merchandise, services and interment rights, and incurs expenses related to such sales, including the maintenance and upkeep of these cemeteries. Upon termination of these contracts, the Partnership will retain all of the benefits and related contractual obligations incurred from sales generated during the contract period. The Partnership has also recognized the existing customer contract related performance obligations that it assumed as part of these agreements. |

Restatement of Previously Issued Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | Restatement of Previously Issued Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements On September 18, 2017, the Partnership filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which amended the Partnership's audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2015 and the related notes thereto. This Form 10-Q amends the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the related notes thereto, included on Form 10-Q/A filed on November 9, 2016 ("Original Filing"). The Restatement reflects the correction of the following errors identified subsequent to the Original Filing:
The effect of these adjustments on the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 is summarized below for each affected caption (in thousands, except per unit data):
As shown above, the adjustments affecting the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the period noted are included in the Partnership’s net loss from operations and offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities. There were no adjustments related to cash used in investing and financing activities. |

Uses and Sources of Liquidity | Uses and Sources of Liquidity Our primary use of liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of our businesses, capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes, including debt repayment and distributions. As more fully discussed in Note 7, the terms of the Partnership's senior credit facility, as amended, place certain restrictions on the Partnership’s ability to increase and make distributions and obtain additional debt. Finally, the Partnership has incurred net losses for the reporting periods in this Form 10-Q, and the Consolidated Leverage Ratio under the credit facility has been nearing the maximum allowed ratio under existing covenants as disclosed in Note 7. During 2016 and 2017, the Partnership completed various financing transactions to provide supplemental liquidity necessary to achieve management’s strategic objectives, including issuance of common units, utilization of the at-the-market equity program and establishment of a new credit facility which, as discussed more fully in Note 7 and Note 15, was further amended during 2017. The Partnership acknowledges that it continues to face a challenging competitive environment, and while the Partnership continues to focus on its overall profitability, including managing expenses, the Partnership reported a loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The Partnership expects that the actions taken in 2016 and 2017 will enhance its liquidity and financial flexibility. The Partnership will likely seek to continue to supplement cash generation with proceeds from financing activities, including borrowings under the credit facility and other borrowings, the issuance of additional limited partner units, capital contributions from the general partner and the sale of assets and other transactions. As of June 30, 2017, the Partnership had $3.5 million of total available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility. If the Partnership continues to experience operating losses and is not able to generate additional liquidity through the mechanisms described above or through some combination of other actions, the Partnership may be in breach of its covenants under the credit facility, and may not be able to access additional funds and the Partnership might need to secure additional sources of funds, which may or may not be available to the Partnership. Additionally, a failure to generate additional liquidity could negatively impact our access to inventory or services that are important to the operation of our business. Moreover, our ability to declare or pay future distributions may be impacted. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Refer to Note 1 to the Partnership's audited consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for the complete summary of significant accounting policies. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. The Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates, including revenue and expense accruals, depreciation and amortization, merchandise trust and perpetual care trust asset valuation, allowance for cancellations, unit-based compensation, deferred revenues, deferred merchandise trust investment earnings, deferred selling and obtaining costs, assets and liabilities obtained through business combinations and income taxes. As a result, actual results could differ from those estimates. |

Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is subject to impairment testing on an annual basis, and between annual tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying amount. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Partnership is not subject to U.S. federal and most state income taxes. The partners of the Partnership are liable for income tax in regard to their distributive share of the Partnership’s taxable income. Such taxable income may vary substantially from net income reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain corporate subsidiaries are subject to federal and state income tax. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and tax carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Partnership records a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets if it deems that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realizable in future periods. The change in the deferred tax liability during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was caused by an increase in deferred tax liabilities associated with long-lived intangibles that will reverse after the expiration of the existing deferred tax assets. |

Net Income (Loss) per Common Unit | Net Income (Loss) per Common Unit Basic net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners, which is determined after the deduction of the general partner’s interest, by the weighted average number of common limited partner units outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners is determined by deducting net income attributable to participating securities, if applicable, and net income (loss) attributable to the general partner’s units. The general partner’s interest in net income (loss) is calculated on a quarterly basis based upon its units and incentive distributions to be distributed for the quarter, with a priority allocation of net income to the general partner’s incentive distributions, if any, in accordance with the partnership agreement, and the remaining net income (loss) allocated with respect to the general partner’s and limited partners’ ownership interests. The Partnership presents net income (loss) per unit under the two-class method for master limited partnerships, which considers whether the incentive distributions of a master limited partnership represent a participating security when considered in the calculation of earnings per unit under the two-class method. The two-class method considers whether the partnership agreement contains any contractual limitations concerning distributions to the incentive distribution rights that would impact the amount of earnings to allocate to the incentive distribution rights for each reporting period. If distributions are contractually limited to the incentive distribution rights’ share of currently designated available cash for distributions as defined under the partnership agreement, undistributed earnings in excess of available cash should not be allocated to the incentive distribution rights. Under the two-class method, management of the Partnership believes the partnership agreement contractually limits cash distributions to available cash; therefore, undistributed earnings in excess of available cash are not allocated to the incentive distribution rights. The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) allocated to the common limited partners for purposes of calculating net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit (in thousands):
Diluted net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners, less income allocable to participating securities, by the sum of the weighted average number of common limited partner units outstanding and the dilutive effect of unit option awards, as calculated by the treasury stock or if converted methods, as applicable. These awards consist of common units issuable upon payment of an exercise price by the participant under the terms of the Partnership’s long-term incentive plan. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Partnership’s weighted average number of common limited partner units used to compute basic net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit with those used to compute diluted net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit (in thousands):

Recently Issued Accounting Standard Updates | Recently Issued Accounting Standard Updates - Not Yet Effective In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and in most industry-specific topics. The new guidance identifies how and when entities should recognize revenue. The new rules establish a core principle requiring the recognition of revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services. In connection with this new standard, the FASB has issued several amendments to ASU 2014-09, as follows:
The new guidance in ASU 2014-09, as well as all amendments discussed above, is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The new guidance permits two methods of adoption, full retrospective or modified retrospective and we intend to implement the standard with the modified retrospective approach, which recognizes the cumulative effect of application recognized on that date. Management has developed an implementation plan and is continuing to evaluate the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the financial statements of the Partnership. Management continues to monitor modifications, clarifications and interpretations issued by the FASB. Management's implementation plan includes the following:
Although the Partnership has not yet fully determined the impact of the new standard on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, cash flows and financial statement disclosures, management expects that there will be an impact to the financial reporting disclosures and internal control over financial reporting. Management is currently considering the impact of the new guidance on the key revenue policies. The Partnership will adopt the requirements of the new standard upon its effective date of January 1, 2018. In the first quarter of 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments (Subtopic 825-10) (“ASU 2016-01”). The core principle of ASU 2016-01 is that all equity investments should be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted for the key aspects of the amendment. The Partnership will adopt the requirements of ASU 2016-01 upon its effective date of January 1, 2018, and is evaluating the potential impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. In the first quarter of 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The core principle of ASU 2016-02 is that all leases create an asset and a liability for lessees and recognition of those lease assets and lease liabilities represents an improvement over previous GAAP, which did not require lease assets and lease liabilities to be recognized for most leases. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Partnership plans to adopt the requirements of ASU 2016-02 upon its effective date of January 1, 2019, and is evaluating the potential impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. In the second quarter of 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-13, Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”). The core principle of ASU 2016-13 is that all assets measured at amortized cost basis should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected using historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts as a basis for credit loss estimates, instead of the probable initial recognition threshold used under current GAAP. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Partnership plans to adopt the requirements of ASU 2016-13 upon its effective date of January 1, 2020, and is evaluating the potential impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. In the third quarter of 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). The core principle of ASU 2016-15 is to provide cash flow statement classification guidance. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Partnership plans to adopt the requirements of ASU 2016-15 upon its effective date of January 1, 2018, and is evaluating the potential impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). The core principle of ASU 2016-18 is to provide guidance on the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Partnership plans to adopt the requirements of ASU 2016-18 upon its effective date of January 1, 2018, and is evaluating the potential impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. In the first quarter of 2017, the FASB issued Update No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business. The amendments affect all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The amendments are intended to help companies and other organizations evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Partnership is evaluating the potential impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. In the first quarter of 2017, the FASB also issued Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) (“ASU 2017-04”) to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, impairment is defined as the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, up to the total amount of goodwill. The Partnership plans to adopt the requirements of ASU 2017-04 upon its effective date of January 1, 2020, and is evaluating the impact, if any, on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. |
