Statement from StoneMor Partners L.P. on the Recent Acts of Vandalism at U.S. Cemeteries

PHILADELPHIA, March 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- "As one of the largest cemetery owners and managers in the U.S., we are appalled at the destructive acts of hatred that we have witnessed at various cemeteries throughout the country. We are mindful of the sacred trust bestowed upon us in serving families at their greatest time of need, and our company encourages the entire industry to condemn these acts of violence and take the steps necessary to prevent future acts of vandalism. Two of these recent heinous acts, those at Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Philadelphia and Chesed Shel Emeth cemetery in St. Louis, targeted those of Jewish faith. We stand with the Jewish community and believe that no religious group should fear the desecration of the final resting place of their loved ones."
