                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)


1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying June 30, 1997 interim consolidated financial statements of
Rose Hills Company and subsidiaries ("Company") have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures
necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  These unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4
(Registrations No. 333-21411).

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial condition as of June 30, 1997 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997.

     Earnings (loss) per share have not been included, as the Company is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Rose Hills Holding, Inc.

     The Company was formed in 1996 for purposes of acquiring Roses, Inc.
("Mortuary") and purchasing certain assets and assuming certain liabilities of
Rose Hills Memorial Park Association and Workman Mill Company ("Cemetery").
Also, in connection with the acquisition the Company's shareholder contributed
10 funeral homes and 2 funeral home cemetery combination properties (`Satellite
Properties').  As a result of these acquisitions (collectively "Acquisition
Transaction"), the Company is the successor to the operations of the predecessor
Mortuary and Cemetery.  As of November 19, 1996, the Company's assets and
liabilities were adjusted to their estimated fair values under purchase
accounting.  In addition, the Company entered into new financing arrangements
and changed its capital structure.  Accordingly, the financial position and
results of operations subsequent to November 18, 1996 are not comparable to
prior periods.  Operations of the Company since November 18, 1996 reflect
increased depreciation, amortization, and interest expense.  Accordingly,
comparative financial information as of and for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996 have been included on a historical basis for the predecessor
Mortuary and Cemetery and are not comparable.  Such combined financial data for
the predecessor operations has been included solely to facilitate a discussion
of the operations from period to period.  Such presentation of the 1996 data is
pro forma in that generally accepted accounting principles would not allow such
combination due to the lack of common ownership of the predecessor operations.
The operations of the Satellite Properties for 1996 have been omitted from the
presentation on the basis of immateriality.


2.   Settlement Agreement

     In connection with the acquisition, Roses, Inc. entered into a "Settlement
Agreement" dated November 19, 1996 with the former owners of the Cemetery to
resolve amounts due/owed between Roses, Inc. and the Cemetery as of November 18,
1996.  The final resolution of such amounts under the Settlement Agreement had
not been determined at June 30, 1997.

     The Company, as successor to Roses, Inc., accrued a $1.6 million liability
to former owners of the Cemetery that it believes will fully satisfy the terms
of the Settlement Agreement.  The Company believes that the selling shareholders
of Roses, Inc. are obligated to pay approximately $1.4 million of the balance
accrued.  Upon final resolution of such amounts under the Settlement Agreement,
Goodwill will be adjusted accordingly.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS.

Overview

The Company was formed in 1996 to acquire Rose Hills Memorial Park ("Rose
Hills"), which is the largest single location cemetery and funeral home
combination in the United States. In addition the Company acquired the Satellite
Properties consisting of 10 funeral homes and two combination cemetery and
funeral home properties. Rose Hills is situated less than 14 miles from downtown
Los Angeles on approximately 1,418 acres of permitted cemetery land near
Whittier, California. The Cemetery and Mortuary have been continuously operating
since 1914 and 1956, respectively. As a result of the Acquisition Transaction
the Company owns a strategic assembly of cemeteries and funeral homes in the
greater Los Angeles area.

Quarter Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to June 30, 1996

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased 51.5 % to $18.0 million
from $11.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  Approximately 38% or
$2.3 million of the increase was attributed to the acquisition of the Satellite
Properties.  The remainder of the increase was attributed to a 45.0% increase in
pre-need cemetery property sales, increased cemetery merchandise sales and
increased earnings from the Endowment Care Fund ("ECF").  Pre-need property
sales increased due to the expansion of products offered on pre-need sales
contracts, one large group sale for approximately $1.5 million and the addition
of over 120 new sales counselors.  Overall funeral service revenue increased due
to the acquisition of the Satellite Properties.  Revenue at Rose Hills was up
slightly compared to 1996.  A three-percent decline in total calls was offset by
a price increase of approximately 17% for the average funeral services.

                                      (6)
<PAGE>
 
Gross margins from Cemetery sales declined slightly from 82.5% in the quarter
ended June 30, 1996 to 75.3% in the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  The decline
was due to an overall increase in inventory costs associated with purchase
accounting adjustments and group sale discounts.  Gross margins for funeral
services increased from 66.7% in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 to 79.4% in the
quarter ended June 30, 1997 due to the price increase and cost savings
associated with the integration of the Satellite Properties.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 38.7% from $7.0 million
at June 30, 1996 to $9.7 million at June 30, 1997. The primary reason for the
increase is higher commissions due to increased pre-need property and
merchandise sales (commission expense is a variable cost based on sales). Costs
related to the Administrative Service Agreement with The Loewen Group, Inc. and
increased property taxes were offset by lower employee benefit costs and savings
related to staffing reductions. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general
and administrative expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 declined from
58.8% in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 to 53.9%. The decline is attributed to
the absorption of the Satellite Property operations within the existing Company
corporate infrastructure and additional leverage realized from the increase in
pre-need property sales.

Amortization and interest expense increased $0.5 million and $3.5 million,
respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to June 30, 1996.
Amortization, which includes amortization of goodwill and covenants not to
compete, increased as a result of the Acquisition Transaction.  Interest expense
also increased due to borrowings associated with the Acquisition Transaction.

EBITDA, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(including cemetery property amortization included in cost of sales), increased
to $5.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 from $3.2 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996.  The increase was primarily a result of (i) an
increase in pre-need contract sales (ii) an increase in leverage of existing
corporate overhead and (iii) the addition of the Satellite Properties.  EBITDA
should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for net income or cash
flow data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
or as a measure of a company's profitability or liquidity.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to June 30, 1996

Consolidated revenues increased 51.3% to $35.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 compared to $23.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
Approximately half of the growth was attributed to the acquisition of the
Satellite Properties, which contributed $5.5 million to the increase.  Funeral
service revenues increased 50.8% to $15.1 million, and cemetery revenues
increased 52.5% to $17.2 million. The increase in funeral service revenue was
largely due to the acquisition of the Satellite Properties.  Revenue from total
calls for Rose Hills is down 2% from the same six-month period last year.  The
revenue decline was partially offset by a price increase implemented in the
third quarter last year.  Cemetery sales increased due to an increase in pre-
need property sales which benefited from the expansion of products offered on
pre-need contracts, one large group sale for approximately $1.5 million and the
addition of over 120 new sales counselors and telemarketing support.

General and administrative expenses increased $3.5 to $17.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 from $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
1996.  The largest component of the $3.5 million increase is associated with the
acquisition of the Satellite Properties.  Non direct overhead costs, such as
depreciation and manager salary and wages, totaled 3.1 million during the six
months ended June 30, 1997.  General and administrative expense for the
predecessor mortuary and cemetery was flat compared to the prior period.  An
increase commission expense, which varies in direct proportion with pre-need
cemetery sales and services, of $2.0 million was largely offset by a reduction
in salaries and benefits.  As a percentage of consolidated revenue, general and
administrative expense decreased to 49.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1997
compared to 60.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The decline is
attributed to the absorption of the Satellite Property operations within the
existing Company corporate infrastructure and additional leverage realized from
the increase in pre-need property sales.

Other revenues, which include financing, commission, ECF and management fee
income increased from $2.4 million in 1996 to $3.6 million in 1997.
Substantially all of the increase was due to increased earnings from the ECF. In
August 1996 the Rose Hills ECF changed its investment strategy by increasing the
percentage of fund assets invested in fixed income securities, increasing
earnings available to the Cemetery. ECF earnings increased by $1.0 million and
commission and finance income increased $0.1 million

Amortization and interest expense increased $1.6 million and $7.1 million,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to June 30, 1996.
Amortization, which includes amortization of goodwill and covenants not to
compete, and interest expense increased as a result of the Acquisition
Transaction.

Income from operations increased to $8.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997 from $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  EBITDA,
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (including
cemetery property amortization included in cost of sales), increased to $13.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $5.7 million for the six
months

                                      (7)
<PAGE>
 
ended June 30, 1996. Both the increase in income from operations of $5.0 and
EBITDA of $7.7 were primarily a result of (i) an increase in pre-need contract
sales (ii) an increase in leverage of existing corporate overhead and (iii) the
addition of the Satellite Properties. EBITDA should not be considered in
isolation, as a substitute for net income or cash flow data prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of a
company's profitability or liquidity.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary source of cash for the Company is funds provided by operating income
and proceeds from long-term indebtedness.  As of June 30, 1997 the Company had
net working capital of $4.3 million and a current ratio of 1.36 compared to net
working capital of $5.7 million and current ratio of 1.37 at December 31, 1996.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $5.4
million for the same period in 1996. The net change in working capital provided
by operations of $7.1 million compared to 1996 is due largely to the $6.3
million increase in cash interest expense. Other factors contributing to the
change include a $3.2 million increase in customer contracts receivable used to
finance pre-need cemetery and merchandise sales. A reduction in accounts payable
and accrued expenses primarily associated with the Acquisition Transaction also
used $3.2 million of operating flow.

The primary uses of cash will be principal payments on outstanding long-term
indebtedness and capital expenditures as permitted under the terms of bank
agreements.  The Company estimates its current year capital expenditures of
approximately $3.0 million will be used primarily for the repair and improvement
of existing infrastructure and cemetery grounds, as well as the addition of
rolling stock.

Contemporaneously with the consummation of the Acquisition, the Company entered
into senior secured amortization extended term loan facilities (the "Bank Term
Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million, the proceeds of
which were used to finance the Acquisition Transaction and related transaction
costs, to pre-fund certain capital expenditures and to refinance existing
indebtedness of the Company, and a senior secured revolving credit facility (the
"Bank Revolving Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25
million, the proceeds of which are available for general corporate purposes and
a portion of which may be extended (as agreed upon) in the form of swing line
loans or letters of credit for the account of the Company. In addition, the
Company has their right, subject to certain conditions to performance tests, to
increase the Bank Term Facility by up to $25.0. The Bank Term Facility and the
Bank Revolving Facility will mature on November 1, 2003. The Bank Term Facility
is subject to amortization, subject to certain conditions, in semi-annual
installments in the amounts of $1 million in each of the first three years after
the anniversary of the closing date of the Bank Term Facility (the "Bank
Closing"); $3 million in the fourth year after the Bank Closing; $7 million in
the fifth year after the Bank Closing; $9 million in the sixth year after the
Bank Closing and $53 million upon maturity of the Bank Term Facility. The
Revolving Credit Facility is payable in full at maturity, with no prior
amortization.

All obligations under the Bank Credit Facilities and any interest rate hedging
agreements entered into with the lenders or their affiliates in connection
therewith are unconditionally guaranteed (the "Bank Guarantees") jointly and
severally, Rose Hills Holdings, Corp. and each of the Company's existing and
future domestic subsidiaries (the "Bank Guarantors").  All obligations of the
Company and the Bank Guarantees are secured by first priority security interests
in all existing and future assets (including real property located at Rose Hill
but excluding other real property and vehicles covered by certificates of title)
of the Company and the Bank Guarantors.  In addition, the Bank Credit Facilities
are secured by a first priority security interest in 100% of the capital stock
of the Company and each subsidiary thereof and all intercompany receivables.

In connection with the Acquisition Transaction, the Company also issued $80
million of 9-1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004, which were exchanged in
September 1997 for $80 million of 9-1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004 (the
"Notes") that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933.  The Notes
mature on November 15, 2004.  Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on
May 15 and November 15 at the annual rate of 91/2%.  The Notes are redeemable in
cash at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after
November 15, 2000, at prices ranging from 104.75% with annual reductions to 100%
in 2003 plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.  The
proceeds of the Notes were used, in part, to finance the Acquisition
Transaction.

As a result of the Acquisition Transaction and the application of proceeds
therefrom, the Company's total outstanding indebtedness was approximately $157.0
million as of June 30, 1997.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company also has $25.0
million of borrowing capacity available under the Bank Revolving Facility.
Management believes that, based upon current levels of operations and
anticipated growth and the availability under the  Bank Revolving Facility, it
can adequately service its indebtedness.  If the Company cannot generate
sufficient cash flow from operations or borrow under the Bank Revolving Facility
to meet such obligations, the company may be required to take certain actions,
including reducing capital expenditures, restructuring its debt, selling assets
or seeking additional equity in order to avoid an Event of Default.  There can
be no assurance that such actions could be effected or would be effective in
allowing the Company to meet such obligations.

The Company and its Subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictive covenants
contained in the indenture to the Notes, including, but not limited to,
covenants imposing limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness;
certain payments, including dividends and investments; the creation of liens;
sales of assets and preferred stock; transactions with interested persons;
payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; sale-leaseback transactions; and
mergers and consolidations.  In addition, the Bank Credit Facilities contain
certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the
Company and its subsidiaries to dispose of assets, incur additional
indebtedness, prepay other indebtedness (including the Exchange Notes), pay
dividends or make certain restricted payments, create liens on assets, engage in
mergers or acquisitions or enter into leases or transactions with affiliates.


NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 1, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 13 1).  SFAS 131 establishes standards
for the way public business enterprises are to report information about
operating segments in annual financial statements and requires those enterprises
to report selected information about operating segments in interim financial
reports issued to shareholders.  It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
Statement 131 uses a "management approach" concept as the basis for identifying
reportable segments.

The management approach is based on the way that management organizes the
segments within the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing
performance. Consequently, the segments are evident from the structure of the
enterprise's internal organization. Furthermore, the management approach
facilitates consistent descriptions of an enterprise in its annual report and
various other published information. It focuses on financial information that an
enterprise's decision makers use to make decisions about the enterprise's
operating matters.

Statement 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997. Earlier application is encouraged. In the initial year of
application, comparative information for earlier years is to be restated, unless
it is impracticable to do so. Statement 131 need not be applied to interim
financial statements in the initial year of its application, but comparative
information for interim periods in the initial year of application shall be
reported in financial statements for interim periods in the second year of
application. Management has not determined the impact of SFAS 131 on its
consolidated financial statements.
