REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors
Carriage
Services, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of Carriage Services 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Carriage Services 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. Supplemental Schedule H, Item 4i- Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2002 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CARRIAGE SERVICES 401(K) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Plan
The Carriage Services 401(k) Plan (the Plan) was originally established by Carriage Funeral Holdings, Inc. (the Company) through the adoption of the Powell, Townsend & Associates, Inc. Regional Prototype 401(k) Plan and Trust effective March 19, 1993. The Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 1998 upon adoption of the Travelers Insurance Company Flexible Non-standardized Safe Harbor Prototype 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan. The restated plan provisions are not significantly changed from the Plan as originally adopted. The Plan is a defined contribution, deferred compensation and 401(k) plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
The Company has the right, under the Plan agreement, to terminate the Plan, although the Company has no intention to do so. Upon termination, assets would be distributed to the participants.
Eligibility and Contributions
Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan on the Plan entry date immediately following the completion of one hour of service and attainment of 21 years of age. Plan entry date is on January 1st or July 1st immediately following employment and meeting the service requirements. Participants may make an elective contribution on a tax-deferred basis up to the statutory maximum allowable contribution of total compensation, subject to certain limitations provided for in the Code. The Company elected to contribute on behalf of each participant an amount equal to 25 percent of the participants contribution up to 5 percent of the participants compensation during 2002 and 2001.
Participant contributions for 2002 include excess contributions totaling $62,481 which were refunded to participants subsequent to year-end because the contributions were determined to be in excess of maximum contribution levels for certain participants. Those excess contributions for 2002 have been reflected as a liability in the statement of net assets available for benefits at December 31, 2002. There were no excess contributions required to be refunded for 2001.
Allocation of Employer Contributions
For non-matching discretionary employer contributions, if any, each participants account is credited with an allocation of employer contributions based on the ratio that the participants compensation for the plan year bears to total compensation for all qualifying participants during the plan year.
Participant Loans
A participant may borrow from the Plan in any amount greater than $1,000 but less than the lesser of $50,000 or fifty percent of the participants vested account balance. Loans are secured by the participants vested balance in his account. Repayments are made at least quarterly, and the term cannot exceed five years, except in the case of a home loan, which can extend up to 30 years. Participant loans outstanding as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 totaled $211,480 and $234,536, respectively. As of December 31, 2002 such participant loans bore interest at rates ranging from 9.75% to 10.75% per year.

For purposes of vesting, a year of service is 500 hours worked within a single plan year. Forfeited balances of terminated participants nonvested accounts are used to reduce future employer contributions. Forfeited amounts available to be utilized to reduce employer contributions as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $10,867 and $6,170, respectively.
Retirements and Terminations
In the case of a participants retirement, death, permanent disability or termination of employment, the participant or his designated beneficiary may elect to receive the value of the participant account, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, in a lump-sum distribution, installment payments or a combination thereof.
Administration
The Plan is administered by the Company. Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the Company. No officers or employees receive compensation from the Plan. The Plan trustee and custodian of the Plans assets is Smith Barney Corporate Trust Company. CitiStreet Associates, LLC is the recordkeeper for the Plan.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
All administrative costs, with the exception of loan set-up and maintenance fees, are paid by the Company. Loan fees are paid by the participant.
Basis of Accounting
The Plans financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
Investments
Investments are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices in an active market.
The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments, which consists of realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

The Plan has not considered Company contributions to the Plan or benefits accrued or paid by the Plan for participants as party-in-interest transactions.
6. Credit Risk
The Plan provides for various investments in mutual funds. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the amounts reported in participant accounts.

7. Tax Status
On April 29, 1995, the Plan received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS). Subsequent to the date of that original letter, the Company adopted an amendment and restatement of the Plan and has requested a determination letter covering the restated plan. The trustees believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, the trustees believe that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt as of December 31, 2002 and 2001.
