SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS WITH DONATE LIFE AMERICA

Company Contributes $750,000 To Encourage Life-Saving Organ, Eye and Tissue Donation

HOUSTON, May 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Service Corporation International (NYSE: SCI), North America's largest provider of funeral, cemetery and cremation services, and its brand, Dignity Memorial^®, is once again partnering with Donate Life America (DLA) to save lives through organ, eye and tissue donation. The company is the first Donate Life Platinum Partner and will contribute a $250,000 donation at the start of National Donate Life Month, which begins April 1.

This is the third consecutive year that SCI has contributed $250,000 to DLA, for a total to date of $750,000. Funds will be used for programs and initiatives designed to increase awareness of organ, eye and tissue donation and to improve the process of registering as a donor.

In addition to DLA, for the past 15 years, Dignity Memorial has been a sponsor of the Donate Life Rose Parade^® Float. The company has honored the lives of 64 remarkable organ, eye and tissue donors through "floragraphs," portraits made of floral and natural materials, which are placed on the Donate Life float entry produced by the OneLegacy Foundation in the annual Tournament of Roses Parade. For families who participate in this program, it is an indescribable experience, which often provides hope, healing and comfort in their grief journey.

"It's our mission to celebrate the significance of life and to honor the lives of organ, eye and tissue donors and the gifts they have given," said Jay Waring, SCI Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. "We are honored to again partner with Donate Life America's vision to increase the number of donated organs, eyes and tissues available to save and heal lives through transplantation."

"National Donate Life Month is the annual observance intended to rally our communities and partners to raise awareness about donation and to encourage others to register as organ, eye and tissue donors. We also take this time to honor those that have saved lives through the gift of donation," said DLA President and CEO, David Fleming. "Dignity Memorial's work this April leading efforts to celebrate National Donate Life Month in their communities across the country is another powerful way they honor the gift of life that donation makes possible and we are grateful for their continued partnership and support."
