Welcome
We've developed this newsletter / website for two purposes. First, we’d like to provide a reliable resource for funeral and cemetery business owners who may be considering succession planning and, more specifically, selling their firms. Second, we want to share SCI’s approach to acquisitions and how it may be a fit for you and your team.
Periodically, the following sections will be updated:
Former Owner Spotlight - an interview with a business owner who recently sold their company to us.
Acquisition Performance - an overview of an acquisition 1-2 years ago to show what does and doesn't happen when we acquire businesses.
NOTE: Previous articles in these two categories can be found in Archives.
InSCIghts - highlights of SCI community involvement, providing a sense for our values and culture.
Acumen - insights and invaluable information related to transitioning out of ownership. It's helpful whether you are considering a sale today or even years from now.
Our company remains active partnering with what we feel are the best quality businesses in our profession. Since 2010, we have invested over $600M (excluding Keystone and Stewart) partnering with individual business owners and providing them a beneficial succession plan. We are proud of our track record and the list of owners that have chosen us as their partner. We would be happy to share that list with anyone who would like to understand, firsthand, others’ experience working with SCI.
Throughout 2018, we have completed five partnerships, consisting of 23 funeral homes, two direct cremation business and 6 cemeteries. We are both honored and excited to have each of these teams join the SCI family:
