This Amendment No. 2 to Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 23, 2009 and amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on January 12, 2011 (as so amended, the “Original Schedule 13D”) and relates to the common units representing limited partner interests of StoneMor Partners L.P.  This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to reflect the distribution of common units by CFSI to its members, including CFS and the MDC Trusts (each, as defined below), and the subsequent distribution of common units by CFS to its members, including the MDC Trusts.  Except as set forth below, all previous Items in the Original Schedule 13D remain unchanged.  Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.

In accordance with the provisions of General Instruction C to Schedule 13D, information concerning the general partners, executive officers, Board of Directors, Board of Managers and each person controlling the Filing Parties (collectively, the “Listed Persons”) required by Item 2 of Schedule 13D is provided on Schedule 1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is supplemented by adding the following to the end of the item:

 
Page 10 of 17

 
On January 24, 2011, CFSI distributed all of its Common Units pro rata to its members, including CFS and the MDC Trusts, and, in turn, CFS distributed all of its Common Units received from CFSI pro rata to its own members, including the MDC Trusts.  Voting and investment decisions for each of the MDC Trusts are directed by the Trust Advisor, of which Mr. Hellman serves as the sole member and, in such capacity, has investment and voting control over the Common Units beneficially owned by the MDC Trusts.  CFSI and CFS no longer hold any Common Units.  Mr. Hellman continues to directly own 5,000 Common Units.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of StoneMor.

The MDC Trusts, the Trust Advisor and Mr. Hellman may be deemed to be members of a group for purposes of this Schedule 13D; the remaining filing parties expressly disclaim membership in a group for purposes of this Schedule 13D.

(a)
CFSI and CFS no longer hold any Common Units.  As of the date hereof, MDC IV Trust directly holds 1,784,203 Common Units, or 11.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Units; MDC IVA Trust directly holds 36,712 Common Units, or 0.2% of the issued and outstanding Common Units; and Delta Trust directly holds 28,451 Common Units, or 0.2% of the issued and outstanding Common Units.  The Trust Advisor is deemed to beneficially own the 1,849,366 Common Units, or 11.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Units, held directly by the MDC Trusts as a result of its direct control of the MDC Trusts.  The Trust Advisor’s sole member, Mr. Hellman, is deemed to also beneficially own these Common Units as a result of his direct control of the Trust Advisor and indirect control of the MDC Trusts.  Additionally, Mr. Hellman directly owns 5,000 Common Units and possesses sole power to vote and dispose of such Common Units, which, when combined with the Common Units held by the MDC Trusts, aggregates 1,854,366 Common Units, or 11.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Units.

The above beneficial ownership percentages were calculated by dividing the number of Common Units beneficially owned by each of the Filing Parties by 15,579,035 outstanding Common Units as of January 26, 2011, as provided by StoneMor to the Filing Parties.

Additionally, to the knowledge of the Filing Parties, the following individuals identified on Schedule 1 have sole or, in the case of Messrs. Miller and Shane, shared voting and dispositive authority over the number of Common Units listed below as of the date hereof:

Paul Waimberg

--

0.1%
 
(b)
 
Voting and investment decisions for each of the MDC Trusts are directed by the Trust Advisor, and therefore the Trust Advisor may be deemed to beneficially own all Common Units beneficially owned by the MDC Trusts.  Certain key voting and investment decisions are made by the sole member of Trust Advisor, Mr. Hellman.  Mr. Hellman may therefore be deemed to have voting and dispositive power over such Common Units.  In addition, Mr. Hellman has sole voting and dispositive power over his 5,000 Common Units.

(c) 
Except as described herein, none of the Filing Parties has effected any transactions in the Common Units during the past 60 days.

(d) 
Except as described herein, no other Filing Party is known by the Filing Parties to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, Common Units beneficially owned by the Filing Parties.

(e) 
Not applicable.
