Changes in results of operations

Net Sales and Services - Net sales and service in 1997 decreased by 17.8%
over 1996.  The decrease resulted principally from the decrease in the
number of services performed.

Cost of Sales and Services - Cost of sales and services as a percent of
net sales increase to 77.8% from 62.2% for the three-months ended August
31, 1997 over 1996.  The increase is due to a decrease of 17.8% in
revenues and an increase in the cost of urns and caskets, rent expense
and  salaries and wages.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses - Selling, general and
administrative expenses, as a percent of net sales, increased from
16.3% to 25.5% for the three-months ended August 31, 1997 over 1996.
The increase resulted from increases in professional fees and salaries
and wages.

Income Taxes - The effective income tax rate is 39.0% for 1996 and 37.8%
for 1997.

Other Income (Expense) - Other income as a percent of net sales and
services decreased to 6.2% in 1997 from 11.1% in 1996.  The decrease
resulted primarily from a decrease in gains on sale of securities and
a non-recurring reimbursement from a former employee for expenses
previously advanced.
