Cemetery Perpetual Care Trust Investments and Obligation

 

State law requires the Company to pay into endowment care trusts a portion of the proceeds from the sale of certain cemetery property interment rights for cemeteries that have established an endowment care trust. These endowment care trusts are defined as variable interest entities pursuant to GAAP. Also, management has determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of these trusts, as it absorbs both a majority of the losses and returns associated with the trusts. The Company has consolidated cemetery endowment care trust investments with a corresponding amount recorded as Cemetery Perpetual Care Obligation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

The components of the cemetery perpetual care investments and obligation as of December 31, 2022 are as follows:

 

   Amortized Cost   Gross Unrealized Gains   Gross Unrealized Losses   Estimated Fair Value
