SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL
SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL is a for-profit corporation incorporated in the State of Texas and registered with the Texas Secretary of State under filing number 0018531200. Its principal executive offices are at 1929 Allen Parkway, Houston, Texas 77019.
The Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2025, filed 12 February 2026, gives the state of incorporation as Texas and the IRS Employer Identification Number as 74-1488375. The same filing states: “We were incorporated in Texas in July of 1962.” The date carried in this record, 6 July 1962, is therefore consistent with a Texas incorporation date rather than a later foreign-qualification date. The month and year are confirmed by the filing; the exact day is not.
The company is an SEC reporting issuer. Its common stock, par value USD 1.00, is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol SCI (CUSIP 817565104; SEC CIK 0000089089). Its filing record with the SEC is current to August 2026.
In the 2025 Form 10-K the company describes itself as North America’s largest provider of deathcare products and services. At 31 December 2025 it operated 1,485 funeral service locations and 500 cemeteries, including 312 funeral service/cemetery combination locations, across 44 US states, eight Canadian provinces, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Its brands include Dignity Memorial, National Cremation Society, Neptune Society and Trident Society. Revenue for the year ended 31 December 2025 was USD 4,309,234,000 and the business employed 17,869 full-time and 7,318 part-time individuals at that date. Both figures are group-level, taken from the 2025 Form 10-K.
Data availability
No legal form is recorded in this record; the entity type above is taken from the 10-K cover page. Texas SOSDirect is a paid service and was not accessed, and the Texas open-data portal at data.texas.gov was not reachable, so the registry status shown in this record (“Active”) carries no status date and could not be independently confirmed. The registry does not label the 6 July 1962 date as either an incorporation or a registration date; the characterisation above rests on the 10-K.

Directors and officers of SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL
Texas publishes no free register of directors or officers, so the people named below are taken only from the company’s own SEC filings. No one is named here whom a filing does not support.
Executive officers. The Form 10-K filed 12 February 2026 lists the following as the executive officers of the company as of 12 February 2026, with the year each first became an officer:
- Thomas L. Ryan — Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer — officer since 1999 — nationality: Not disclosed
- Sumner J. Waring, III — President — officer since 2002 — nationality: Not disclosed
- Eric D. Tanzberger — Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer — officer since 2000 — nationality: Not disclosed
- Lori Spilde — Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary — officer since 2019 — nationality: Not disclosed
- Elisabeth G. Nash — Senior Vice President, Operations Services — officer since 2004 — nationality: Not disclosed
- John H. Faulk — Senior Vice President, Chief Operating Officer — officer since 2010 — nationality: Not disclosed
- Tammy R. Moore — Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer — officer since 2010 — nationality: Not disclosed
Board of directors. The proxy statement filed 26 March 2026 identifies the following ten people as the directors in office at the record date of 9 March 2026:
- Thomas L. Ryan — Chairman of the Board; not independent — director since 2004 — nationality: Not disclosed
- Marcus A. Watts — Lead Independent Director; chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee — director since 2012 — nationality: Not disclosed
- Anthony L. Coelho — independent director since 1991 — nationality: Not disclosed
- Victor L. Lund — independent director since 2000 — nationality: Not disclosed
- Ellen Ochoa — independent director since 2015; chair of the Compensation Committee — nationality: Not disclosed
- Jakki L. Haussler — independent director since 2018; chair of the Investment Committee — nationality: Not disclosed
- Sara Martinez Tucker — independent director since 2018; chair of the Audit Committee — nationality: Not disclosed
- C. Park Shaper — independent director since 2022 — nationality: Not disclosed
- Thad Hill — independent director since 2025 — nationality: Not disclosed
- Alan R. Buckwalter — independent director; the proxy statement records 22 years of service and states that he has decided not to stand for reelection at the annual meeting of 6 May 2026 — nationality: Not disclosed
Nine of the ten are independent and non-management. Carl Loredo is a new nominee standing for election at the 6 May 2026 annual meeting; he was not a director at the record date and is not listed above as one. W. Blair Waltrip did not stand for reelection in 2025 and the proxy statement states that he is not an elected member of the Board as of the record date; he is therefore a former director.
Nationality is not disclosed for any individual in any of these filings and is not inferred here.
Data availability
The officer list in the underlying provider data for this page holds 38 rows. Collapsing duplicates — professional credential suffixes glued onto surnames, one misspelt surname, and names repeated in different letter cases with conflicting titles — reduces those 38 rows to 28 distinct people. Only nine of those 28 are supported as current by the February 2026 Form 10-K or the March 2026 proxy statement, and they are published above. The remaining 19 names, several of them carrying the job title “Director”, are not supported by either filing; no filing was found that establishes whether they currently serve, formerly served, or served at all, so they are not published in either tense. Seven of the ten sitting directors do not appear in the provider list at all. Every one of the 38 rows carries work status “ACTIVE” with no appointment date and no resignation date, so the provider record itself offers no basis for separating current from former office-holders; tense here comes entirely from the filings. No registered agent appears among the rows. Dates of birth and personal addresses held in the provider data are not published.

Group Structure
Group structure of SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL
Texas publishes no ownership or group-structure data for a Texas corporation. The authoritative public statement of this group’s composition is Exhibit 21.1 to the company’s Form 10-K, “Subsidiaries of the Company”, stated as of 31 January 2026 and filed 12 February 2026.
Service Corporation International is the ultimate parent. The 10-K states that “SCI”, “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us” refer to Service Corporation International and companies owned directly or indirectly by it. No parent undertaking and no controlling shareholder is disclosed in any filing.
Exhibit 21.1 lists more than 400 entities, grouped under headings giving the jurisdiction of organisation: 48 US states and the District of Columbia, together with Barbados, Brazil, Canada and Puerto Rico. Each entry carries an ownership percentage. The large majority are shown at 100%; roughly fifty entries are shown at other percentages, for example California Cemetery and Funeral Services, LLC at 95% and 5%, SCI Management L.P. at 99% and 1%, and Rest Hills Memorial Park, Inc. at 99.5%.
The group tree held in the provider data for this page is rooted on “Service Corporation International [US TX 0018531200]”, and that root identifier matches this record. Its identified children were checked against Exhibit 21.1:
- Confirmed by name and jurisdiction: Trident Society, Inc. (California); SCI Oregon Funeral Services, Inc. (Oregon); SCI Tennessee Funeral Services, LLC (Tennessee); M. J. Edwards & Sons Funeral Home, Inc. (Tennessee); Cedar Hill Cemetery Company, LLC (Maryland); Evans & Early Mortuary, LLC (Utah); S.E. Funeral Homes of Arkansas, LLC (Arkansas); Graceland Cemetery Development Co. (South Carolina). Each is shown at 100% in Exhibit 21.1.
- Jurisdiction disagreement: the provider tree records “Jckc Inc” as a Texas entity with number 16267. Exhibit 21.1 lists JCKC, Inc. under the heading West Virginia. Either the jurisdiction in the provider record is wrong or the two records are different companies. This could not be resolved from the filings and the Texas registry was not accessible.
- Not found: “East Lawn Funeral Home” and “Memphis Memory Gardens”, carried in the provider tree beneath M. J. Edwards & Sons Funeral Home, do not appear in Exhibit 21.1 under those names. They may be trading names of individual facilities rather than separate legal entities; this is not confirmed.
The group operates under a number of consumer brands that are not separate disclosed subsidiaries, including Dignity Memorial, Dignity Planning, National Cremation Society, Advantage Funeral and Cremation Services, Funeraria del Angel, Making Everlasting Memories, Neptune Society and Trident Society.
Data availability
Exhibit 21.1 gives each subsidiary’s name, jurisdiction of organisation and ownership percentage. It does not give state filing numbers, so the identifiers carried against nodes in the provider tree cannot be verified from it, and the eight confirmations above rest on name and jurisdiction only. Many nodes in the provider tree carry a placeholder identifier beginning “#0” instead of a state filing number; those entities are unidentified and were not checked. Exhibit 21.1 is stated as of 31 January 2026 and may omit entities formed, acquired or disposed of since that date. No registry publishes the ownership chain between these entities.

Who owns SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL?
Three shareholders are currently on record for SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL, reflecting the stock ledger maintained under state corporate law (e.g. Β§219 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) rather than a public filing.
