HOUSTON, April 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carriage Services, Inc. (NYSE: CSV): today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Mel Payne, Chairman and CEO, stated, “I highly recommend that anyone interested in Carriage for any reason read my most recent 2021 Shareholder Letter, co-written by the three other members of our Strategic Vision and Principles Group (SVPG), Carlos Quezada, Ben Brink and Steve Metzger, together with our Proxy Statement for our Annual Meeting of stockholders on May 17, 2022. In particular, you hopefully will find unique value and maybe a little surprise wisdom in my new two page beginning “Introduction To Shareholder Letter” and six page ending (Pages 41-46), concluding with the customary joint letter from me and Bryan Leibman (Lead Director) to all shareholders on the first page of our Proxy Statement, after which there are 2⅓ pages with the heading “P.S. A Personal Note From Mel Payne.”
