Service Corporation International (SCI) is a leading deathcare products and services provider operating in the United States and Canada. The companys operations span funeral service locations, cemeteries, combination funeral service/cemetery locations, crematoria, and related businesses. It operates under multiple brand names, including Dignity Memorial, National Cremation Society, Neptune Society, Funeraria del Angel, and Advantage Funeral and Cremation Services.
SCIs service offerings include arranging and directing funerals, embalming, cremation, memorialization, travel protection, and catering, while its merchandise portfolio encompasses burial caskets, urns, outer burial containers, flowers, stationery, and online/video tributes. On the cemetery side, the company sells interment rights such as developed lots, lawn crypts, mausoleum spaces, and cremation niches, along with custom inventory like private mausoleums and family estates, as well as memorial markers, floral placement, and interment services.
The deathcare sector is characterized by highly fragmented competition and recession-resistant, non-discretionary demand, which has historically supported industry consolidation by larger players. SCIs business model combines at-need services with pre-need (prepaid) contracts, and cemetery property holdings function similarly to long-duration real estate assets. Founded in 1962 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, SCI is classified within the Consumer Discretionary sector under Specialized Consumer Services.
