Life Insurance Segment Details
Within the life insurance segment, Security National Financial Corporation focuses on selected lines of life insurance, annuity products, and accident and health insurance. The company has discussed efforts to improve premium margins through adjustments in premium rates and has noted that these changes can affect profitability over time. Earnings releases also reference the impact of accounting standards such as Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) and Long Duration Targeted Improvements (LDTI) on items like benefit reserves, deferred acquisition costs, and deferred profit liabilities.
Investment income in the life insurance segment includes returns from real estate-based activities, such as builder relationships and residential land holdings, as well as public equity investments. The company has described these investments as contributing to corporate-wide investment income, while also noting that such income can fluctuate due to the timing of home closings, lot sales, and market movements.
Cemeteries and Mortuaries Segment Details

The company offers burial, mausoleum, cremation, and related memorialization options, and engages in pre-need sales of funeral, cemetery, mortuary, and cremation services.

Properties such as Singing Hills Memorial Park in El Cajon, California, reflect the company’s approach to memorial park development. Singing Hills Memorial Park, established in 1996, includes acreage dedicated to burial, mausoleum, and cremation options, bordered by additional wildlife preserve.

The company originated an acquisition and development loan related to a large planned residential project, earning interest and origination fees over the term of the loan and realizing additional profit-split income upon completion of the transaction.
