Description of Securities

Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Service Corporation International is a Texas corporation.
Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act (the "TBCA") provides that any director or
officer of a Texas corporation may be indemnified against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements
and reasonable expenses actually incurred by him in connection with or in defending any action,
suit or proceeding in which he was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant by reason of
his position as director or officer, provided that he conducted himself in good faith and
reasonably believed that, in the case of conduct in his official capacity as a director or officer
of the corporation, such conduct was in the corporation's best interests; and, in all other cases,
that such conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests. In the case of a
criminal proceeding, a director or officer may be indemnified only if he had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful. If a director or officer is wholly successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in connection with such a proceeding, such indemnification is mandatory.
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 omission not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or
a
II-1
Table of Contents
knowing violation of law, (iii) for any transaction for 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 certain losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses 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.

Undertakings

Table of Contents
a.
Rule 415 Offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement 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.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, 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.
Incorporation of Subsequent Filings by Reference.
The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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.
Form S-8 Filing.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 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 Securities and Exchange 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 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.
