presence at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock is necessary to constitute

Meeting may be adjourned without notice other than announcement at the Meeting until a quorum shall be formed. </FONT></P>

before the Meeting would need to be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or represented by proxy at the Meeting. Because directors are
elected by a plurality of the votes cast, shares that are withheld will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors. With respect to any matter other than the election of directors,
abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted to determine the stockholders entitled to vote on a proposal and will not affect the
outcome of the vote on such matter. </FONT></P>

a Proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted at the Meeting by filing with the Secretary an instrument revoking it, by signing and delivering to the Secretary a Proxy bearing a later date, or

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Carriage currently has six directors on its Board that each serve staggered three-year terms. At the Meeting, you and the other stockholders will
elect two individuals to serve as Class&nbsp;I directors for a new three-year term expiring at the 2006 annual meeting and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The two
current Class&nbsp;I directors whose terms are expiring at the Meeting are Melvin C. Payne and Mark F. Wilson. Upon recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, the Board of Directors has
nominated Mr.&nbsp;Payne for re-election at the Meeting to serve for a new three-year term. As explained under "Certain Transactions" below, Mr.&nbsp;Wilson has agreed not
to have his name placed in nomination for re-election, subject to certain visitation rights and to be nominated as a Class&nbsp;II director at the 2004 annual meeting. In the place of
Mr.&nbsp;Wilson, the Board of Directors has nominated Joe R. Davis as the other Class&nbsp;I director for consideration at the 2003 Meeting. Proxies may be voted for two directors. Biography
descriptions for Messrs.&nbsp;Payne and Davis are set forth below. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>We recommend that you vote "FOR" the election of each nominee listed in Proposal No.&nbsp;1 as a Class&nbsp;I Director. The individuals named as proxies will
vote the enclosed proxy "FOR" the election of all nominees unless you direct them to withhold your votes for one or more of the nominees.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You
may not cumulate your votes in the election of directors. The two nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected to the Board. You may withhold authority
to vote for any or all nominees for directors. If any nominee becomes unable to serve as a director before the Meeting (or decides not to serve), the individuals named as proxies will vote FOR the
remainder of the nominees and for such other nominees as we may designate as a replacement or substitute for those who become unavailable. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

officers. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During 2002, Carriage's Board met six times and acted by unanimous written consent six times. Each of the directors attended all of the meetings of the Board. The
functions of the Executive, Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committees of the Board, and the number of meetings held during 2002, are described below. In addition, the independent
directors of the Board, at each of the regular quarterly meetings in 2002, met separately in executive session, outside the presence of management or non-independent directors, but where appropriate
with representatives of our independent auditors. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
primary function of the Executive Committee is to exercise many of the powers of the Board in between regular Board meetings, including the authorization of contracts, leases and
loan documents. The Executive Committee did not meet in 2002 and did not take any action by unanimous written consent. For all of 2002, Melvin C. Payne was the sole member of the Executive Committee.
The full Board has suspended all actions of the Executive Committee for so long as it has only one member and will consider reactivating the Executive Committee when additional members are appointed
by the Board. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Compensation Committee reviews and approves the compensation of Carriage's senior officers, including stock option plans, incentive compensation programs and benefit plans. The
Compensation Committee also administers, and makes grants of stock options under, Carriage's stock option plans. The members of the Compensation Committee are Vincent D. Foster, Chairman, and </FONT></P>

Stuart W. Stedman. In 2002, the Compensation Committee held two meetings and acted by unanimous consent once. See the report of the Compensation Committee on page 15 of this Proxy Statement. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Audit Committee appoints Carriage's independent auditors and reviews the plan, scope and results of the audit with the auditors and Carriage's officers. The Audit Committee also
reviews with the auditors the principal accounting policies and internal accounting controls of Carriage. The members of the Audit Committee are Vincent D. Foster, Chairman, Stuart W. Stedman and
Ronald A. Erickson. The Audit Committee met six times during 2002, and each member of the Audit Committee was present at the meetings. See the report of the Audit Committee on page 19 of this Proxy
Statement. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
2003, Carriage's Board adopted a new written charter to be the governing instrument for the Audit Committee, a copy of which is included as Appendix&nbsp;A. The New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE"), upon which our Common Stock is traded, requires that each of its listed companies maintain an independent audit committee. None of the members of our Audit Committee has a
relationship with Carriage that may interfere with the exercise of his independence from management or Carriage. No member of our Audit Committee is or has been in the last three years an employee of
Carriage or in a business relationship with Carriage. Also, no immediate family member related to a member of our Audit Committee is an executive officer of Carriage or any of its affiliates. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition to the independence standard, the NYSE requires that each member of the Audit Committee be financially literate and at least one member must have accounting or related
financial management expertise. Each member of our Audit Committee is financially literate, and Mr.&nbsp;Foster is a certified public accountant with approximately 20&nbsp;years of public
accounting experience. Currently, Mr.&nbsp;Foster is a managing director of a small business investment corporation for which he reviews and analyzes financial statements as part of his daily
functions. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Corporate Governance Committee (formerly known as the Nominating Committee) reviews the structure of the full Board, evaluates the Board's performance and makes recommendations
regarding the size of the Board and the number and classification of directors. The Corporate Governance Committee also conducts a search for suitable and qualified candidates to serve as directors
when the terms of office are up for election at each year's annual meeting of stockholders, and submits the names of candidates for such positions for consideration by the Board. The members of the
Corporate Governance Committee are Stuart W. Stedman, Chairman, Vincent D. Foster and Ronald A. Erickson. The Corporate Governance Committee did not meet in 2002, as two of its three members were
nominated by the full Board of Directors for re-election as directors. The Committee did meet in early 2003 to consider and recommend nominees for Class&nbsp;I directors at the 2003
Meeting. </FONT></P>

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE    <BR>  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires Carriage's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a
registered class of Carriage's equity securities, to file with the SEC reports of ownership and changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of Carriage. Executive officers,
directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish Carriage with copies of all Section&nbsp;16(a) forms they file. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based
solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to Carriage or written representations that no other reports were required, Carriage believes that all filing
requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with during 2002, except as follows: Melvin C. Payne, Thomas C. Livengood, Jay D.
Dodds, James J. Benard and Mark Groeneman each filed their respective Form&nbsp;4 on April&nbsp;12, 2002 to report a grant of stock options that occurred effective February&nbsp;11, 2002; and
Vincent D. Foster, Ronald A. Erickson, Stuart W. Stedman, Greg M. Brudnicki and Mark F. Wilson resubmitted their respective Form&nbsp;4 reports in late June&nbsp;2002 for stock option grants
effective May&nbsp;7, 2002, after the SEC returned the original reports as illegible. </FONT></P>

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS    <BR>  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mark Wilson and Greg Brudnicki are prior owners of businesses that Carriage acquired in 1997. As an incentive, we entered into arrangements with them to pay them
10% of the amount by which the annual field-level earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization and income taxes exceeds predetermined targets on certain businesses in their respective
geographic region through 2008, with a final payment equal to a multiple of six times the average of the last three years payments. The incentives earned by the two directors totaled $120,000 for
2002. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with our acquisition in January&nbsp;1997 of certain funeral homes and cemeteries in California which were controlled by Mark Wilson and others, Mr.&nbsp;Wilson and one
of our subsidiaries entered into a fifteen-year non-competition agreement providing for, among other things, the payment to Mr.&nbsp;Wilson of $170,000 per year. In
December&nbsp;2000, Carriage released Mr.&nbsp;Wilson from his obligations under that agreement, although we remain obligated to continue to make the payments thereunder. In the
January&nbsp;1997 transaction, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr.&nbsp;Wilson, which was superseded by a new three-year employment agreement we signed on
January&nbsp;1, 2001 incident to Mr.&nbsp;Wilson assuming his corporate-level duties as Senior Vice President of Cemetery Operations, at a base salary of $150,000 per year. On November&nbsp;7,
2001, James J. Benard was elected Senior Vice President of Sales&nbsp;&amp; Cemetery Operations, at which time Mr.&nbsp;Wilson resigned his corporate-level position but maintained his position with
our California operations and his agreement remains unaffected. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
January&nbsp;1997 transaction included Carriage's commitment to nominate Mr.&nbsp;Wilson to its Board of Directors for so long as he and other former CNM shareholders
collectively owned a certain minimum level of our Common Stock, and he has served on our Board ever since. At present, the Board consists of six directors, three of whom meet the "independence"
standards under both the current NYSE rules and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and three of whom do not. As Mr.&nbsp;Wilson is a full-time employee of one of our
subsidiaries, he does not meet the independence standard. The Board in early 2003 discussed its desire to achieve as quickly as practicable a majority of its members who would so qualify as
independent, although it was felt that the Board's size should not be increased at present. Consequently, we agreed with Mr.&nbsp;Wilson and the other former CNM shareholders that Mr.&nbsp;Wilson
would not stand for re-election in 2003, so as to make room for another candidate who could serve as an independent director. Mr.&nbsp;Wilson will, however, continue to have certain
rights to attend regular and special meetings of the Board as a non-voting visitor and to receive certain materials available to directors. The Board further agreed that (if the minimum
stock ownership threshold is still met) it would nominate Mr.&nbsp;Wilson as a Class&nbsp;II director for consideration at the 2004 annual meeting of stockholders. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Joe
R. Davis was selected by the Corporate Governance Committee, and nominated by the full Board, to be considered for election as a Class&nbsp;I director at the 2003 Meeting. There is
no contract or commitment concerning his election to or service on the Board. The Board believes that Mr.&nbsp;Davis will satisfy applicable standards for independence. Mr.&nbsp;Davis is an
officer, director and founding shareholder of CGX, a subsidiary of which provided printing services to Carriage last year for approximately $25,000. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with our acquisition in November&nbsp;1997 of certain funeral homes and cemeteries in Florida, which were controlled by Greg Brudnicki and another person,
Mr.&nbsp;Brudnicki and one of our subsidiaries entered into an employment agreement, which was superseded by a new three-year employment agreement we signed on January&nbsp;1, 2001
incident to Mr.&nbsp;Brudnicki becoming Senior Vice President of Cemetery Operations. His annual base salary is $150,000. When Mr.&nbsp;Benard was elected Senior Vice President of Sales&nbsp;&amp;
Cemetery Operations, Mr.&nbsp;Brudnicki also resigned his corporate-level position but maintained his position with our operations in Northwest Florida and his agreement remains unaffected. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with the above-described acquisition, we agreed to make a contingent purchase price payment to Mr.&nbsp;Brudnicki and the other former owner of those firms if one of the
funeral homes achieved financial performance, as defined in the agreement, above a certain target. In February&nbsp;2000, </FONT></P>

extinguish the rights Mr.&nbsp;Livengood held under his employment agreement with Carriage dated November&nbsp;8, 1999. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr.&nbsp;Livengood received a

an annual grant of 5,000 fully vested shares of our Common Stock. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a general rule, each outside director is entitled to $1,000 for each regular or special meeting of the full Board attended in person, and $500 if attended by phone. In addition, Audit
Committee members receive $1,500 for each committee meeting held in person and $1,000 for each such meeting held by phone, except that those amounts are cut in half if the committee meeting occurs on
the same day as a full Board meeting. Members of the other committees receive $750 for each committee meeting held in person and $500 for each such meeting held by phone, except that the amounts are
$1,125 and $750, respectively, for the chair of such committees, and no attendance fees are payable for these other committees for a meeting that occurs on the same day as a full Board meeting. </FONT></P>

directors have the ability to elect to receive all or any portion of the cash retainer and attendance fees in shares of our Common Stock, based on the fair market value thereof
as of the date the amount is earned. </FONT></P>

also have the ability to issue discretionary options under the Directors' Plan. The eligibility to receive options is broader than the definition of outside directors, by including
all directors who are not executive officers of our parent corporation, but who may be employees ("eligible directors"). At present, eligible directors under the Directors Plan include, in addition to
Messrs.&nbsp;Stedman, Erickson and Foster, Messrs.&nbsp;Wilson and Brudnicki, and it is expected that Mr.&nbsp;Davis will similarly qualify as an outside director. Each grant under the Directors
Plan must be approved by (1)&nbsp;at least two-thirds of all members of the entire Board, and (2)&nbsp;a majority of all members of the Board who are not eligible to receive options
under the Directors's Plan. In addition, shares issued upon exercise of options granted under the Directors' Plan may not, without Board approval, be sold or disposed of within six months following
the date of grant. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There
are an aggregate of 350,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Directors' Plan. In May&nbsp;2002, Carriage granted to each of Messrs.&nbsp;Stedman,
Erickson, Foster, Wilson and Brudnicki an option to purchase up to 6,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share. It is anticipated that every eligible director will receive
a grant of 6,000 fully vested options immediately following the 2003 annual meeting. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective November&nbsp;8, 1999, we entered into an employment agreement with Melvin C. Payne. The employment agreement with Mr.&nbsp;Payne has an initial
term of approximately five years with an evergreen two-year extension continuing after the first three years of the employment agreement unless either Carriage or Mr.&nbsp;Payne gives
90&nbsp;days notice of termination. Pursuant to this agreement, Mr.&nbsp;Payne is entitled to receive a base salary of not less than $275,000 and a bonus to be determined on an annual basis by the
Board of Directors. If Mr.&nbsp;Payne is terminated without cause during the term of the agreement, he will receive a monthly severance payment until the end of the term had he not been terminated
plus a proportionate amount of the bonus earned for the year of termination. Such monthly severance payment would be equal to the average monthly amount (including salary and bonus) earned by
Mr.&nbsp;Payne during the three calendar years prior to his termination. During the period that Mr.&nbsp;Payne receives the monthly severance payment, he also would be entitled to participate in
any employee benefit plans or programs in which he was participating at the time of his termination. In addition, each agreement contains a covenant prohibiting Mr.&nbsp;Payne from competing with
Carriage during the period he is receiving compensation under his agreement, provided, however, that following termination of employment, he may elect to forego certain severance payments which he
would be entitled to under the employment agreement and thereafter would not be prohibited from competing with us. In addition, the agreements contain customary benefits and perquisites. </FONT></P>

September&nbsp;30, 2005, respectively, and each agreement may sooner terminate with no further obligation of Carriage for additional payments upon the death or disability of the employee or his
termination from employment for cause. If the employee is terminated without cause, Carriage is obligated to continue to pay the employee his salary and provide benefits for the remainder of the
contract term (in the case of Mr.&nbsp;Dodds) or a period of one year (in all other cases). Each such employee has agreed that for a two-year period following the termination of his
employment agreement, he will not compete with Carriage or will induce any employees of Carriage to leave Carriage, with no option to elect out of the covenant. In addition, if Carriage undergoes a
"Corporate Change" (as defined in our 1996 Plan) and Mr.&nbsp;Saporito leaves our employment, then he would be entitled to receive compensation and benefits for 12&nbsp;months or until the
remainder of his contract term, whichever is longer. </FONT></P>

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION    <BR>  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") is responsible for annually reviewing and approving compensation arrangements for senior management, making
recommendations with respect to employee benefit plans, making stock option grants under the 1995 Plan and the 1996 Plan and administering the 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Neither member of the
Committee is an employee of Carriage or any of its subsidiaries. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
goal of the Committee is to enhance performance and maximize stockholder value through, among other things, establishing appropriate executive compensation levels and incentives. The
Committee believes that compensation levels should be tied to performance on both an individual and corporate level so that management will be properly motivated to achieve Carriage's annual and long
term financial goals and to maximize stockholder value. Our executive compensation policies are designed to: </FONT></P>

<DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>Allow
us to attract and retain qualified executives with the leadership and other skills needed by Carriage at this stage in its development;
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>Provide
strong incentives to achieve our annual and long term goals, which currently focus on balance sheet quality, with rewards for both individual and

align the interests of management with those of the stockholders. </FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each
year, the Committee considers specific ways that these policy goals may best be achieved, which includes a review of base salary as well as consideration of annual incentives, which
may consist of one or a combination of cash bonuses, stock options, stock grants. From 1995&nbsp;-&nbsp;1999, the emphasis was more on incentive-based compensation and less on cash
compensation. With the dramatic stock declines in 1999-2000, substantially all preexisting management options were relinquished by the holders, but upon the implementation of Fresh Start
with a new management team, new options were granted, coupled with stock and cash bonuses. In 2002, base salaries were maintained level and a combination of cash bonuses and stock options were awarded
to the Named Executive Officers. In January&nbsp;2003, following completion of the second full year of Fresh Start, the Committee authorized salary increases, cash bonuses and restricted stock
grants to the senior management team, all as further described below. </FONT></P>

levels set by other companies within the industry, as well as other companies in the service sector of comparable revenue size. The Committee believes that maintaining a reasonable base salary
structure is necessary to attract and retain talented executives. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
2002, the second full year of Carriage's Fresh Start initiative, Carriage solidified its core executive management team, consisting of Mel Payne, Chief Executive Officer and
President, Jay Dodds, Senior Vice President of Funeral Operations, Jim Benard, Senior Vice President of Cemetery Operations and Mark Groeneman, Senior Vice President of Human Resources, and including
the addition in September of Joseph Saporito, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Skip Klug, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, is also part of Carriage's senior
management team, although not a Named Executive Officer. Salary increases were implemented at the beginning of Fresh Start, but they generally had not been adjusted in the intervening two years. In
January&nbsp;2003, the Committee reviewed evaluations completed by the Chief Executive Officer for each member of the management team, measuring performance against individualized criteria. As a
result of this process, and given the successes achieved by Fresh Start thus far and the recognition that it is essential to Carriage that it retain a strong and incentivized management group, the
Committee approved new annual base salaries which averaged 5.5% for the six senior officers. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As part of the performance review process described above, the Committee evaluated the appropriate levels of bonuses which should be considered for each member of
the senior management team. In December&nbsp;2000, the Committee approved stock bonus grants with a cash bonus component intended to
defray each executive's tax liability. In January&nbsp;2003, the Committee took a different approach for 2002 performance-based incentives, by considering cash bonuses independent of awards of
restricted stock grants, which are further described below. While the Committee considered a number of factors in evaluating each executive's cash bonus level, including but not limited to Carriage's
overall performance, there was an individualized review based upon the goals and achievements of each officer in the area of his responsibility. The Committee's recommendations were adopted by the
full Board and are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Carriage has historically awarded stock options to its executive officers in each year. In January&nbsp;2003, examining 2002 performance, there was a consensus
among the Committee that the management team should begin taking on more ownership in our company and to operate according to that ownership mentality. Consequently, no options were granted to any
Named Executive Officer or any other member of the senior management team for 2002 performance. Instead, the Committee authorized, and the full Board approved, restricted stock bonus awards. In each
case, the full number of shares (as detailed below) were issued, but they remain subject to forfeiture if the executive leaves before shares are vested. All awards have a vesting schedule of 25% per
year on the first through fourth anniversaries of the January&nbsp;9, 2003 grant date, when our stock price was $3.97. The shares were issued under our 1995 Plan and are consequently registered on
Form&nbsp;S-8, but unvested shares are held in escrow pending satisfaction of vesting requirements. The amount of the restricted stock awards are as follows: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Melvin C. Payne has served as our Chief Executive Officer since Carriage was founded in 1991. He assumed the additional title of Chairman of the Board in
December&nbsp;1996. Mr.&nbsp;Payne took on the additional responsibilities as President at the end of 2000 when Fresh Start began and still holds that position. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
early 2000, Mr.&nbsp;Payne's base salary was determined to be significantly below market, and so his base salary was increased to $375,000 per year. It stayed that way for two
years, as Carriage implemented its Fresh Start initiatives. This year, the Committee again examined Mr.&nbsp;Payne's base compensation level. Now that the two-year phase of Fresh Start
has been complete, the Committee felt that Mr.&nbsp;Payne's base salary should be adjusted, and so his base level was increased to $400,000, a 6.7% increase that is generally in line with other
adjustments among the senior executive team. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since
Carriage went public, Mr.&nbsp;Payne has assumed the dual roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Throughout Fresh Start, he has also been our President,
effectively functioning as chief operating officer as well. Given these multiple roles and the successes achieved thus far, the Committee felt that it was appropriate to award Mr.&nbsp;Payne a cash
bonus of $200,000, equal to one-half his new base salary level. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Committee felt that, as with other executive officers, Mr.&nbsp;Payne should receive a restricted stock grant in lieu of stock options, so no options were awarded to
Mr.&nbsp;Payne. He did receive a restricted stock grant for 70,000 shares, with the same terms and conditions applicable to the other officers. The level of the grant was proportionate in relation
to his base salary and bonus level when compared to other members of the management team and given his level of responsibility for Carriage's management, direction and vision. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, we are responsible for helping to ensure the reliability of Carriage's financial statements. In
keeping with this goal, the Audit Committee operates according to a written charter approved by the Board of Directors. A new charter was adopted this year and is included as Appendix&nbsp;A. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed Carriage's audited financial statements with management. It has also discussed with the independent auditors the
matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standard Nos. 61 and 90. Additionally, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent
accountants at KPMG LLP, as required by Independent Standards Board Standard No.&nbsp;1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and has discussed with the independent accountants their
independence. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
an effort to maintain the accountant's independence, the Audit Committee has considered whether KPMG LLP's rendering of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining
its independence. We have concluded that the rendering of both types of services does not result in a conflict. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As disclosed in the Form&nbsp;8-K Current Report, Carriage dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as its principal accountant on May&nbsp;20, 2002, and
subsequently engaged KPMG LLP as its principal accountant. The decision to change principal accountants was recommended by the Audit Committee and was approved by the Board of Directors of Carriage.
The decision to change was not the result of any disagreement between Carriage and Arthur Andersen LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing
scope or procedure. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Arthur
Andersen LLP reviewed the financial statements included in Carriage's Quarterly Report on Form&nbsp;10-Q for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2002. KPMG LLP
audited the financial statements included in Carriage's Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K as of and for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2002, and reviewed the financial statements
included in Carriage's Forms 10-Q for the periods ended June&nbsp;30, 2002 and September&nbsp;30, 2002. </FONT></P>
