P. Mahar and Son Funeral Home and Mt. Anthony Cremation Services of Bennington, VT. The businesses, which have roots in their community dating back to 1935, were formerly owned by John Mahar. A third-generation business, the funeral home was founded by Edward and Olga Mahar in 1935, with son Alex and grandson John joining over the years. Annually, the funeral home serves over 300 families and handles over 700 cremations at their Bennington facility. Mahar is known as a pinnacle of service in their business community, so when the opportunity to sell arose, it was important that their reputation and dedication to the families of Bennington did not diminish in any way. Greg Rollings, president and CEO of Rollings Funeral Service, commented “As the owner of a family business myself, I always look for funeral homes that were founded and run on family values and principles.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, SNFC’s after-tax earnings from operations decreased 29% on a 2% decrease in revenues. Scott Quist, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer of SNFC, said, “Many adjectives have been used to describe the past two years, including unprecedented, extraordinary, devastating, and unparalleled. For Security National, I would use the term ‘remarkable’ in describing the performance of our teams. Among the most telling metrics summarizing our Company’s performance for 2020 and 2021 are that total Stockholder’s Equity increased 50% and revenues increased 66%. “There have been major economic and societal currents that have had very mixed effects over the last two years. As those currents reverse themselves, as they seem to be doing, I anticipate that the corresponding economic stresses and benefits will also reverse to some degree. “During the last two years our death care segment has overcome staffing shortages due to pandemic related illnesses and restrictions, coupled with unprecedented demand. Their performance in providing care during this most difficult time has been exceptional. I believe we should all be justifiably proud of our Company’s performance.” For full results and more information, visit www.securitynational.com. Save on Shipping!
