indemnify any director or officer who was, is, or is threatened to be made a respondent in a proceeding because the person was or is a director or officer if it is determined that such person (1)&nbsp;acted in good faith, (2)&nbsp;reasonably
believed (a)&nbsp;in the case of conduct in his official capacity as a director or officer of the corporation, that his conduct was in the corporation&#146;s best interests, or (b)&nbsp;in other cases, that his conduct was not opposed to the
corporation&#146;s best interests, and (3)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. In addition, the TBOC requires a corporation to indemnify a director or officer for any action
that such director or officer is wholly successful in defending on the merits. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Company&#146;s Restated Articles of
Incorporation, as amended (the &#147;Articles of Incorporation&#148;), no director of the registrant will be liable to the registrant or any of its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in the director&#146;s capacity as a
director, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the registrant or its shareholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director received an improper benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the director&#146;s office, (iv)&nbsp;for acts or omissions for which the
liability of a director is expressly provided by statute, or (v)&nbsp;for acts related to an unlawful stock repurchase or dividend payment. The Articles of Incorporation further provide that, if the statutes of Texas are amended to further limit the
liability of a director, then the liability of the Company&#146;s directors will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by any such provision. </P>

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents filed by Service Corporation International (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission are
incorporated herein by reference into this Registration Statement:
1. The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2013;
2. The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014;

All documents subsequently filed by the Company or the SCI 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, subsequent to the filing hereof and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained in any subsequently filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such
statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company is a Texas corporation. Chapter 8 of the Texas Business Organization Code (the "TBOC") provides that a corporation may
indemnify any director or officer who was, is, or is threatened to be made a respondent in a proceeding because the person was or is a director or officer if it is determined that such person (1) acted in good faith, (2) reasonably
believed (a) in the case of conduct in his official capacity as a director or officer of the corporation, that his conduct was in the corporation's best interests, or (b) in other cases, that his conduct was not opposed to the
corporation's best interests, and (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. In addition, the TBOC requires a corporation to indemnify a director or officer for any action
that such director or officer is wholly successful in defending on the merits.
Under the Company's Restated Articles of
Incorporation, as amended (the "Articles of Incorporation"), no director of the registrant will be liable to the registrant or any of its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in the director's capacity as a
director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the registrant or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) for any transaction from which the director received an improper benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the director's office, (iv) for acts or omissions for which the
liability of a director is expressly provided by statute, or (v) for acts related to an unlawful stock repurchase or dividend payment. The Articles of Incorporation further provide that, if the statutes of Texas are amended to further limit the
liability of a director, then the liability of the Company's directors will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by any such provision.
The Company's Bylaws provide for indemnification of officers and directors of the registrant
and persons serving at the request of the registrant in such capacities for other business organizations against costs and expenses, including payments in settlement of any judgment, fine or penalty incurred by reason of their positions with the
registrant or such other business organizations. The Company also has policies insuring its officers and directors and certain officers and directors of its wholly owned subsidiaries against certain liabilities for actions taken in such capacities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). In addition, the Company has an Indemnification Agreement with each of its directors and officers providing for the indemnification of each such person to the
fullest extent permitted by Texas law.
Item 8. Exhibits
Reference is made to the Exhibit Index which immediately precedes the exhibits filed with this Registration Statement.
Item 9. Undertakings
(a)
The Company hereby undertakes:
(1)
to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this registration statement.
(2)
that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question as to
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Company certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Houston, State of Texas, on July 1, 2014.
