HOUSTON, Dec. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Carriage
Services, Inc. (NYSE: CSV) is pleased to announce that we
have partnered with Thomas F. Dalton Funeral Homes located in
Long Island, NY. Thomas F. Dalton
Funeral Homes date back to 1924 when Thomas
F. Dalton began serving the families of Floral Park operating from a single facility.
Tim Dalton and Beth
Dalton-Costello, third generation Daltons', entered the
family business in 1977 and 1983 respectively and later
transitioned into owners of the business. Under their leadership
the business has grown to the surrounding communities and now
serves over 900 client families annually through their five
chapels. Consistent with our Strategic Acquisition Model and Ten
Year Vision, Carriage has partnered with an elite business that
has a top-quality reputation in one of our large strategic
markets.
Mel Payne, Chairman and CEO of
Carriage Services stated, "The partnership with
Thomas F. Dalton Funeral Homes enhances our portfolio of
businesses in the strategic market of Long Island and will accelerate the second
five year timeframe of our Good To Great Journey. We are
delighted to have continuity of Dalton Family involvement in the
business and community with Beth staying on under a five year
Employment Agreement."
Beth Dalton-Costello states, "Our
priorities have always been to the families we serve. It is
vital to my cousin Tim and I that we listen to
and fulfill the families' needs and requirements during
their most difficult time. We feel it is a privilege to be
chosen by a family and take the trust they place in us with
profound seriousness. When it was time to ensure that the
Dalton Funeral Homes and our philosophy of service would continue
to be available to our communities, we sought out the Carriage
family as the best possible partner we could choose."
