Explanation of Responses:

1. Pursuant to the Merger and Reorganization Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 27, 2018 (as amended to date, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among StoneMor Partners L.P. (the "Partnership"), StoneMor GP LLC (now StoneMor Inc. ("StoneMor Inc.")) and certain of their affiliates, at the effective time of the merger on December 31, 2019 (the "Effective Time"), each common unit of the Partnership held by the reporting person converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of StoneMor Inc. ("StoneMor Inc. Common Shares").

2. Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(e), StoneMor Inc. is the successor issuer to the Partnership for purposes of Section 16.

3. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each option to purchase common units of the Partnership originally granted to the reporting person was assumed by StoneMor Inc. and converted into an option to purchase StoneMor Inc. Common Shares ("StoneMor Inc. Stock Option") equal to the number of common units that were subject to such option to purchase common units prior to the Effective Time. The StoneMor Inc. Stock Option is subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such option to purchase common units immediately before the Effective Time.
