</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Service Corporation International is a Texas corporation organized under the laws of the State of
Texas. Section&nbsp;8.101 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (the &#147;TBOC&#148;) provides that a
corporation may indemnify any director or officer who was, is or is threatened to be named as a
defendant or respondent in a proceeding because he is or was a director or officer, provided that
the director or officer (i)&nbsp;conducted himself in good faith, (ii)&nbsp;reasonably believed (a)&nbsp;in the
case of conduct in his official capacity, that his conduct was in the corporation&#146;s

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">best interests or (b)&nbsp;in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the
corporation&#146;s best interests and (iii)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Subject to certain exceptions, a director or officer may
not be indemnified if such person is found liable to the corporation or if such person is found
liable on the basis that he improperly received a personal benefit. Under Texas law, reasonable
expenses incurred by a director or officer may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in advance
of a final disposition of the proceeding after the corporation receives a written affirmation by
the director or officer of his good-faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary
for indemnification and a written undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay
the amount if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to
indemnification by the corporation. Texas law requires a corporation to indemnify an officer or
director against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding in which he is named
a defendant or respondent because he is or was a director or officer if he is wholly successful in
the defense of the proceeding.
Texas law also permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement on
behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer against any liability asserted against him
and incurred by him in such a capacity or arising out of his status as such a person, whether or
not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against that liability under
Section&nbsp;8.101 of the TBOC.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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 omission not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;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&#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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;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
ensuring 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 &#147;Act&#148;). 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.

the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling

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

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Service Corporation International is a Texas corporation organized under the laws of the State of
Texas. Section 8.101 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (the "TBOC") provides that a
corporation may indemnify any director or officer who was, is or is threatened to be named as a
defendant or respondent in a proceeding because he is or was a director or officer, provided that
the director or officer (i) conducted himself in good faith, (ii) reasonably believed (a) in the
case of conduct in his official capacity, that his conduct was in the corporation's
II-1
Table of Contents
best interests or (b) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the
corporation's best interests and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Subject to certain exceptions, a director or officer may
not be indemnified if such person is found liable to the corporation or if such person is found
liable on the basis that he improperly received a personal benefit. Under Texas law, reasonable
expenses incurred by a director or officer may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in advance
of a final disposition of the proceeding after the corporation receives a written affirmation by
the director or officer of his good-faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary
for indemnification and a written undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay
the amount if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to
indemnification by the corporation. Texas law requires a corporation to indemnify an officer or
director against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding in which he is named
a defendant or respondent because he is or was a director or officer if he is wholly successful in
the defense of the proceeding.
Texas law also permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement on
behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer against any liability asserted against him
and incurred by him in such a capacity or arising out of his status as such a person, whether or
not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against that liability under
Section 8.101 of the TBOC.
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 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
ensuring 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
.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of the securities
registered hereby, 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
this 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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do
not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by these paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the SEC 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.
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.
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 SEC 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.
