Stored Quality research reads 69 of 100, an above-average reading in the covered universe. Some underlying measurements are stronger than others.
Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

In the company’s own words
We are North America’s largest provider of deathcare products and services, with a network of funeral service locations and cemeteries unequaled in geographic scale and reach. At December 31, 2025, we operated 1,485 funeral service locations and 500 cemeteries (including 312 funeral service/cemetery combination locations), which are geographically diversified across 44 states, eight Canadian provinces, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
We are well known for our Dignity Memorial brand, North America's first transcontinental brand of deathcare products and services. Our other brands include Dignity Planning , National Cremation Society , Advantage Funeral and Cremation Services, Funeraria del Angel , Making Everlasting Memories , Neptune Society and Trident Society . Our funeral service and cemetery operations consist of funeral service locations, cemeteries, funeral service/cemetery combination locations, crematoria, and other related businesses, which enable us to serve a wide array of customer needs. We sell cemetery property and funeral and cemetery merchandise and services at the time of need and on a preneed basis.
At December 31, 2025, we employed 17,869 full-time individuals and 7,318 part-time individuals. Of the full-time associates, 16,556 were employed in the funeral and cemetery operations and 1,313 were employed in corporate areas of our business. Approximately 2.2% of our associates are represented by unions. Although labor disputes occur from time to time, relations with associates are generall y considered favorable. We reach out to our associates for feedback throughout their employment at SCI using a variety o f voluntary employee surveys in an effort to determine if we are meeting the needs and expectations of our workforce. In 2025, building on our past workplace surveys, we launched our We Listen Survey, which measures engagement across areas including recognition, growth, communication, and leadership. This employee survey will help drive company-wide initiatives and improvements.
Eligible associates in the United States may elect coverage under our group health and life insurance plans. Associates covered by a collective bargaining agreement are typically covered by union health plans and, therefore, do not participate in our health insurance plan. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 9,526 and 9,462 associates, respectively, who had elected to participate in our group health insurance plans.
