HOUSTON, Sept. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Carriage Services,
Inc. (NYSE: CSV). Mel Payne,
Chairman and CEO of Carriage, stated, "It is with mixed
feelings that I announce the retirement of Dave DeCarlo as President and Vice Chairman of
the Board of Directors of Carriage, effective
September 30, 2016. Dave came out of a well-earned
retirement from a long career with Matthews International to join
our Board on May 5, 2011 as Lead Director and was
instrumental in supporting the major Management and Board
Reorganization on November 4, 2011 that led to the
launching on January 1, 2012 of the Carriage
Good To Great Journey that never ends. He then
joined the company full time as President and Vice Chairman on
March 4, 2014.
As we bring the first five year timeframe of our Carriage
Good To Great Journey to a close at year end 2016, I
would like to thank Dave for his significant contribution to the
amazing High Performance Culture Transformation that we have
achieved since 2011. We will miss him as a member of our
Operations and Strategic Growth Leadership Team and wish him and
his wife Peggy the very best in his second well deserved
retirement."
