Explanation of Responses:

1. The reporting person had been granted this number of restricted phantom units subject to performance-based vesting criteria pursuant to an award made under the StoneMor Partners L.P. 2019 Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

2. On June 27, 2019, StoneMor Partners L.P. consummated a series of transactions as a result of which these restricted phantom units became fully vested and payable, in cash or common units, at the election of the issuer, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the applicable award agreement pursuant to which such restricted phantom units were granted. The issuer elected to pay such restricted phantom units in common units.
