Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
GOODWILL | GOODWILL Many of the former owners and staff of acquired funeral homes and certain cemeteries have provided high quality service to families for generations. The resulting loyalty often represents a substantial portion of the value of a business. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as determined by management in business acquisition transactions accounted for as purchases, is recorded as goodwill. The following table presents the changes in goodwill on our Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):
Goodwill as of December 31, 2013 | $ | 221,087 |
Adjustments | (142 | )
Reclassification of assets held-for-sale | — |
Goodwill as of March 31, 2014 | $ | 220,945 |
The adjustment to goodwill in the three months ended March 31, 2014 represents a purchase price allocation adjustment related to a funeral home business acquisition completed in November 2013. Our purchase price allocation for this acquisition is dependent upon certain valuations, which have not progressed to a stage where there is sufficient information to make a definitive measure and allocation of goodwill and other intangible assets. Material revisions to the ongoing current estimates may be necessary when the valuation process is completed, within a year after the closing date of the acquisition.
