Item 2. Properties
At December 31, 2024, we operated 162 funeral homes in 26 states and 31 cemeteries in 11 states. We own the real property and buildings for 140 of our funeral homes and lease 22 facilities. We own 30 cemeteries and operate one cemetery under a long-term contract with a municipality, which we refer to as a managed property. We operate 18 funeral homes in combination with cemeteries as these locations are physically located on the same property or in very close proximity and are under the same leadership.
The 31 cemeteries that we operate have developed cemetery property of approximately 142,000 and 162,000 units available-for-sale at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition, we own approximately 496 acres that are available for future development or sale. We anticipate having a sufficient inventory of lots to maintain our property sales for the foreseeable future.
Our support center is located in Houston, Texas, where we lease approximately 48,000 square feet of office space.
