Schedule of Available-for-sale Securities Reconciliation [Table Text Block]
The cost and fair values associated with our funeral merchandise and service trust investments recorded at fair value at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are detailed below. Cost reflects the investment (net of redemptions) of control holders in common trust funds, mutual funds, and private equity investments. Fair value represents the market value of the underlying securities held by the common trust funds, mutual funds at published values, and the estimated fair value of private equity investments (including debt as well as the estimated fair value related to the contract holder’s equity in majority-owned real estate investments).
