THE TRANSFER OF THE ASSETS WAS RECORDED AS A CONTRIBUTION WITH DONOR RESTRICTIONS SINCE THEY MUST BE USED FOR CEMETERY PURPOSES. THE PROPERTY WAS VALUED AT $806,891 BASED ON A PROPERTY TAX APPRAISAL AT THE TIME OF THE TRANSFER. THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE PRESENTED ON A COMBINED BASIS SINCE THE TWO ENTITIES ARE UNDER COMMON CONTROL.
