Were Carlos R. Quezada’s CSV share transactions open-market sales?

The transactions were not open-market sales. Both entries are coded as tax-withholding dispositions, meaning Carriage Services withheld shares to satisfy tax obligations when restricted stock vested, rather than Quezada selling shares on an exchange or in a negotiated transaction.

What caused the tax-withholding share dispositions reported by CSV’s CEO?

The dispositions arose from vesting of restricted stock previously granted on February 21, 2024 and February 22, 2023. When those restricted shares vested in 2026, Carriage Services withheld a portion of the shares to cover applicable payroll and income tax liabilities.
