Highlight of Business Operations:

These increases were partially offset by a decline of $11.6 million in revenues contributed by non-strategic assets that were divested throughout 2011 and 2010. Comparable revenues from funeral operations were $1,423.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1,401.6 million for the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to the 2.9% increase in average revenue per funeral service described below and a $17.6 million increase in GA revenues that resulted from increased preneed insurance production. These increases were partially offset by the 2.5% decrease in the number of funeral services performed as described below.

Consolidated revenues from funeral operations increased $101.0 million in 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. This increase is primarily due to the increase in comparable revenues described below and $76.2 million of additional revenues as the result of acquisitions in 2010 and 2009, partially offset by a decline of $9.4 million in revenues contributed by non-strategic assets that were divested throughout 2010 and 2009. Our comparable funeral revenues increased $34.2 million, or 2.5%, in 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 primarily as a result of the 1.2% increase in the average revenue per funeral service described below and a $9.5 million increase in GA revenues that resulted from increased preneed funeral insurance production.
