                                VOTING AGREEMENT


This Voting Agreement ("Agreement"), dated effective as of August 8, 1996 is 
among those stockholders of Carriage Service, Inc., a Delaware corporation 
("Corporation") whose signatures appear on the signature pages of this 
Agreement under the caption "Stockholders" (referred to herein individually 
as a "Stockholder" and collectively as the "Stockholders") and, where 
applicable, the respective spouses of the Stockholders.

     1.  INTRODUCTION.  The Corporation and the Stockholders believe that it 
is in the best interests of each, respectively, to restrict transfers of the 
Stock of the Corporation and adopt certain voting restrictions on shares of 
the Stock. Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual promises contained 
herein, and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the parties 
have entered into this Agreement.

     2.  CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.  As used in this Agreement:

         2.1.  The Term "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Corporation 
and any duly authorized committee thereof. All determinations by the Board 
required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to be made by the Board 
shall be binding and conclusive.

         2.2.  The Term "Competitor" means  any person or entity who is 
engaged in the funeral service, cemetery, crematory or related lines of 
business that, at the time of any proposed Disposition (or at any time within 
the twelve-month period preceding the date of the proposed Disposition), has 
any operations within a 50-mile radius of any locations of the Corporation or 
its Affiliates; and includes any other person or entity who directly, or 
indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or 
is under common control with any such person or entity.

         2.3.  The term "Disposition" shall mean any direct or indirect 
transfer, assignment, sale, gift, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance, 
or any other disposition, of Stock (or any interest therein or right thereto) 
or of all or part of the voting power (other than the granting of a revocable 
proxy) associated with the Stock (or any interest therein) whatsoever, or any 
other transfer of beneficial ownership of Stock whether voluntary or 
involuntary, including, without limitation (a) as part of any liquidation of 
the Stockholder's assets or (b) as a part of any reorganization of a 
Stockholder pursuant to the United States or other bankruptcy law or other 
similar debtor relief laws.

         2.4.  The term "Stock" means (a) all shares of Class A Common Stock, 
$.01 par value, and Class B Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Corporation 
owned by each of the Stockholders on the date hereof, (b) all shares of either 
Class A or Class B Common Stock hereafter issued by the Corporation to or 
acquired by any Stockholder, whether in connection with a purchase, 
issuance, grant, stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, warrant, option, 
convertible security, right to acquire or otherwise, (c) all shares of 
preferred stock, $.01 par value, of the Corporation ("Preferred Stock") owned 
by each of the Stockholders on the date hereof, and (d) all securities of the 
Corporation or any other corporation or entity which any Stockholder acquires 
in respect of his, her or its shares of either Class A or Class B Common Stock 
in connection with any exchange, merger, recapitalization, consolidation, 
reorganization or other transaction to which the Corporation is a party. All 
references herein to Stock owned by a Stockholder include the community 
interest or similar marital property interest, if any, of the spouse of such 
Stockholder in such Stock. 


<PAGE>

     3.  DISPOSITIONS TO COMPETITORS.  Notwithstanding anything in this 
Agreement to the contrary, no Stockholder shall, without the prior written 
consent of Stockholders holding Stock constituting at least 80% of the votes 
of all Stock subject to this Agreement, make any Disposition to any 
Competitor. Any Disposition in violation of this Section 3 shall be null and 
void. If such Stockholders approve any such Disposition, then all of the 
provisions of this Agreement (including this Section 3) shall apply to any 
subsequent transaction by the transferee of such Stock or any interests 
therein (except as expressly excluded by the other terms in this Agreement).

     4.  VOTING RESTRICTIONS.  The Stockholders agree that no Stockholder 
shall vote its shares of Stock (or any other securities of the Corporation 
having voting rights) in favor of any of the following actions unless 
Stockholders holding Stock constituting at least 80% of the votes entitled to 
be cast on such action are in favor of such action:

         (a)  a merger, consolidation or other similar corporate action 
     involving the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, 
     and a Competitor on the other other hand, other than in connection with 
     acquisitions of funeral homes or cemeteries by the Corporation that are 
     structured as mergers or consolidations wherein the Corporation is the 
     surviving entity or owns more than 50% of the surviving entity's capital 
     stock;

         (b)  the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or 
     substantially all of the assets and properties of the Corporation and 
     its Subsidiaries to a Competitor; or

         (c)  any amendment to Article V, VI or VII of the Company's Amended 
     and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

     5.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

negotiation (prior to its execution) and preparation of this Agreement 
including fees to legal counsel.

         5.2.  This Agreement shall be construed by, subject to and governed 
in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving 
effect to conflict-of-laws or other principles which may result in the 
application of laws other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware.

        5.3.  Whenever the context requires, the gender of all words used

all words shall include the singular and plural.

Stockholders, any spouses of the Stockholders, and their respective heirs, 
executors, administrators and permitted successors and assigns.

        5.5.  This Agreement may be amended or waived from time to time by an 
instrument in writing signed by the Corporation and Stockholders holding 
Stock constituting at least

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

80% of the votes of all Stock subject to this Agreement at the time of such 
amendment, and such instrument shall be designated on its face as an 
"Amendment" to this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any amendment which 
has the effect of making the restrictions on the disposition of Stock 
materially more onerous shall require the vote of all Stockholders affected 
by such amendment; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that this Agreement may be amended 
by the Corporation without the consent of any Stockholder to cure any 
ambiguity or to cure, correct or supplement any defective provisions 
contained herein, or to make any other provision with respect to matters or 
questions hereunder as the Corporation may deem necessary or advisable; 
PROVIDED that such action shall not affect adversely the interest of any 
Stockholder.

         5.6.  This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the earlier 
of (a) the dissolution of the Corporation, (b) the occurrence of any event 
which reduces the number of Stockholders to one in accordance with the terms 
hereof, (c) the written approval of Stockholders holding Stock constituting 
at least 80% of the votes of all Stock subject to this Agreement, or (d) ten 
years from the date of this Agreement.

         5.7.  Any Stockholder who disposes of all his Stock in conformity 
with the terms hereof shall cease to be a party to this Agreement and shall 
have no further rights or obligations hereunder.

         5.8.  The spouses of the individual Stockholders are fully aware of, 
understand and fully consent and agree to the provisions of this Agreement 
and its binding effect upon any community property interests or similar 
marital property interests in the Stock they may now or hereafter own, and 
agree that the termination of their marital relationship with any Stockholder 
for any reason shall not have the effect of removing any Stock of the 
Corporation otherwise subject to this Agreement from the coverage hereof and 
that their awareness, understanding, consent and agreement are evidenced by 
their signing this Agreement.

         5.9.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, any 
one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party, but all 
of which counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same 
instrument.

         5.10. If any portion of this Agreement is declared by a court of 
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such declaration shall 
not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

         5.11. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties 
hereto as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous agreements 
among all or some of the parties hereto, whether written, oral or otherwise. 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholders agree that 
this Agreement shall replace and supersede the Stockholders Agreement dated 
September 25, 1995 (together with the Voting Agreement of even date herewith 
among the Stockholders and certain holders of the Corporation's Series C 
Preferred Stock and options to purchase Stock), which shall be deemed 
terminated effective as of the effective date of this Agreement.

         5.12. No person or entity not a party to this Agreement shall have 
rights under this Agreement, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise.

         5.13. If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Stock by way 
of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through 
merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other 
means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof, as may 
be required, so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder 
shall continue with respect to the Stock as so changed.
