furthering its green initiatives
by piloting electric vehicles.

a licensed funeral director who grew up in his family's
funeral business, still serves as founder and chairman
emeritus of the company's board of directors.
		 "Having grown up in the funeral profession, he came
up with a business model to use the synergies across
multiple funeral homes and increase the quality of service provided to the families we serve," Davis says.
	 Over the years, the company has grown to become the
largest provider in the industry and is publicly traded on
the New York Stock Exchange.
	 According to its website, the company's original
business plan was based on efficiencies of scale, reducing
overhead costs by sharing resources such as embalming,
accounting, transportation and personnel among three
or four funeral homes in a business "cluster." 
	 After proving the plan's effectiveness in Houston in
the early 1960s, Waltrip and a small group of associates
set out to apply an operating strategy through ownership
of funeral and cemetery businesses in other markets.

	 It was the beginning of a three-decade period of expansion that would create a North American network of
nearly 1,400 funeral homes and cemeteries by the end
of 1992.
	 Today, SCI has a competitive advantage in the market
due to its size, network and diversified brand portfolio.
Its brands provide families with a full range of choices,
from the simplest funeral arrangements to elegant ceremonies requiring intricate planning and unique features
or events.
	 SCI's largest brand, Dignity Memorial®, provides
compassion and care for thousands of families each year
by helping create unique and meaningful memorials to
truly celebrate the life of a loved one.
	 SCI's other brands include Neptune Society (America's leading cremation provider), National Cremation
Society, Advantage and Funeraria Del Angel.
	 According to its website, SCI works to conduct its
business in the most ethical and straightforward manner
possible. From the boardroom to its local funeral homes
and cemeteries, SCI states that it is dedicated to achieving an uncompromising record of professionalism and
regulatory compliance.
	 As a company with solid financials, exclusive products and customer benefits, favorable demographics
and "best in class" policies, training and professional
standards, SCI is in an excellent position to provide compassionate care and service excellence to families across
North America for generations to come.
