INTANGIBLE AND OTHER NON-CURRENT ASSETS

Deferred charges and other non-current assets at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016 were as follows (in thousands):



	December 31, 2015		June 30, 2016
Prepaid agreements not-to-compete, net of accumulated amortization of $5,404 and $5,607, respectively	$	1,912	$	2,222
Tradenames	8,856		12,085
Other	210		—
Intangible and other non-current assets	$	10,978	$	14,307

Prepaid agreements not-to-compete are amortized over the term of the respective agreements, ranging generally from one to ten years. Amortization expense was approximately $78,000 and $99,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, and $147,000 and $202,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Our tradenames have indefinite lives and therefore are not amortized.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we increased prepaid agreements not-to-compete by $0.4 million and tradenames by approximately $3.2 million related to our acquisition of two funeral home businesses in May 2016 and described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.
