Description: SCI Service International January 03, 2026
Service Corporation International (SCI) is the largest provider of death-care products and services in the United States and Canada, operating funeral homes, cemeteries, crematoria, and related ancillary businesses under brands such as Dignity Memorial and Neptune Society. Its offerings span the full funeral value chain-from facility use, embalming, and cremation to merchandise like caskets, urns, and online tributes, as well as interment rights in developed lots, mausoleums, and lawn crypts.
Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue reached approximately $5.6 billion, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of roughly 12%, and same-store sales grew about 3% year-over-year. The sector is being driven by two macro trends-an aging U.S. population (the “baby-boomer” cohort is entering the highest mortality age bracket) and a sustained shift toward cremation, which now accounts for about 70% of U.S. dispositions, pressuring traditional burial-related revenue streams.
