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. The Company is the primary beneficiary of these trusts, as it absorbs both the losses and any expenses 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 September 30, 2024, are as follows:

Relevant holdings were comprised of three securities with fair values aggregating 99.2% of the aggregate amortized cost as of September 30, 2024. Relevant holdings were comprised of four securities with fair values aggregating 98.1% of aggregate amortized cost as of December 31, 2023. No credit losses have been recognized for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, since the increase in unrealized losses is primarily a result of increases in interest rates. See Note 3 for additional information regarding the Company’s evaluation of the allowance for credit losses for fixed maturity securities available for sale.

 

The table below presents the amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities available for sale as of September 30, 2024, by contractual maturity.
