Preneed Cemetery Receivables [Abstract] |
PRENEED CEMETERY RECEIVABLES | PRENEED CEMETERY RECEIVABLES Preneed sales of cemetery interment rights and related products and services are usually financed through interest-bearing installment sales contracts, generally with terms of up to five years with such interest income reflected as Preneed cemetery finance charges. In substantially all cases, we receive an initial down payment at the time the contract is signed. Total financed preneed cemetery receivables were comprised of the following at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands):
| December 31, 2016 |  | December 31, 2017
Cemetery interment rights | $ | 28,687 |  |  | $ | 29,625 |
Cemetery merchandise and services | 10,299 |  |  | 10,849 |
Preneed cemetery receivables | $ | 38,986 |  |  | $ | 40,474 |
These amounts are presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017 as follows (in thousands):
| December 31, 2016 |  | December 31, 2017
Accounts receivable, excluding unearned finance charges and allowance for contract cancellations of $2,622 and $2,779, respectively | $ | 11,380 |  |  | $ | 11,843 |
Preneed receivables, excluding unearned finance charges and allowance for contract cancellations of $4,983 and $4,922, respectively | 27,606 |  |  | 28,631 |
Preneed cemetery receivables | $ | 38,986 |  |  | $ | 40,474 |
The unearned finance charges associated with these receivables were $5.7 million at both December 31, 2016 and 2017. We determine an allowance for customer cancellations and refunds on contracts in which revenue has been recognized on sales of cemetery interment rights. We have a collections policy where past due notifications are sent to the customer beginning at 15 days past due and periodically thereafter until the contract is cancelled or payment is received. We reserve 100% of the receivables on contracts in which the revenue has been recognized and payments are 90 days past due or more, which was approximately 4.9% of the total receivables on recognized sales at December 31, 2017. An allowance is recorded at the date that the contract is executed and periodically adjusted thereafter based upon actual collection experience at the business level. For the years ending December 31, 2016 and 2017, the change in the allowance for contract cancellations was as follows (in thousands):
| As of December 31,
| 2016 |  | 2017
