Service Corporation International (NYSE: SCI), headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a leading North American deathcare provider operating in the United States and Canada. The company runs an integrated network of funeral homes, cemeteries, crematoria, and combination locations, offering a wide range of services such as embalming, cremation, memorialization, graveside services, and catering, alongside merchandise like caskets, urns, outer burial containers, floral arrangements, and interment rights for developed lots, mausoleum spaces, and cremation niches.
SCI markets its offerings under several brands, including Dignity Memorial, National Cremation Society, Neptune Society, and Funeraria del Angel. The deathcare sector is characterized by high barriers to entry due to zoning restrictions, limited cemetery land availability, and the importance of scale and brand reputation, which has allowed SCI to maintain a leading position through consolidation since its 1962 founding and 1987 IPO. The industry has also been shaped by shifting consumer preferences, particularly the long-term rise in cremation rates over traditional burial, which has driven operators to expand cremation-related products and services.
- Aging baby boomer demographics drive sustained funeral volume growth
- Rising cremation rate pressures traditional burial segment margins
- Independent funeral home acquisitions accelerate market consolidation and revenue
