PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)



☒	(a)	The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
	(b)	The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-CEN or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

StoneMor Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”) by the prescribed filing deadline (March 30, 2020) without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company needs additional time to perform certain administrative procedures necessary to complete its annual consolidated financial statements. The additional time is a result of having to work remotely due to the ongoing issues surrounding COVID-19. In particular, on Monday, March 16, 2020, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf extended significant travel and work restrictions related to the Coronavirus to Bucks County, where the Company’s corporate headquarters is located, in an attempt to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 in the state. The disruptions in transportation, staffing, and information technology systems which have occurred over the last few weeks to both the Company and the Company’s professional advisors have resulted in these delays. While there can be no assurances, the Company is working to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K within the fifteen calendar day extension provided by Rule 12b-25.
