DECISION AND ORDER

The Federal Trade Commission, having initiated an investigation of the proposed acquisition by Respondent Service Corporation International (“SCI”) of the outstanding voting 

securities of Respondent Stewart Enterprises, Inc. (“Stewart”), and Respondents having been 

furnished thereafter with a copy of a draft of complaint that the Bureau of Competition proposed 

to present to the Commission for its consideration and which, if issued by the Commission, 

would charge Respondents with violations of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 

U.S.C. § 18, and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 45; 

and 

Respondents, their attorneys, and counsel for the Commission having thereafter executed 

an agreement containing consent orders (“Consent Agreement”), an admission by Respondents 

of all the jurisdictional facts set forth in the aforesaid draft of complaint, a statement that the 

signing of said Consent Agreement is for settlement purposes only and does not constitute an 

admission by Respondents that the law has been violated as alleged in such complaint, or that the 

facts as alleged in such complaint, other than jurisdictional facts, are true, and waivers and other 

provisions as required by the Commission’s Rules; and 

The Commission having thereafter considered the matter and having determined that it 

had reason to believe that Respondents have violated the said Acts, and that a complaint should 

issue stating its charges in that respect, and having thereupon issued its complaint and its Order 

to Hold Separate and Maintain Assets (“Hold Separate Order”) and having accepted the executed 

Consent Agreement and placed such Consent Agreement on the public record for a period of 
2

that such agreement may limit or otherwise impair the ability of an Acquirer to acquire, 

operate, or use the relevant Divestiture Assets. 

 

F. At the request of an Acquirer and in a manner that receives the prior approval of the 

Commission, Respondents shall provide Transitional Assistance to such Acquirer for a 

period not to exceed six (6) months (or such other period as the Commission may approve) after Respondents divest the relevant Divestiture Assets: 

1. Such assistance shall be sufficient to enable the Acquirer to operate the relevant 

Divestiture Assets and Divestiture Business in substantially the same manner and 

at the same quality achieved by Respondents prior to the divestiture; and 

2. Respondents shall not (i) require the Acquirer to pay compensation for Transitional Assistance that exceeds the Direct Cost of providing such goods and services; (ii) terminate their obligation to provide Transitional Assistance because of 

a material breach by the Acquirer of the agreement to provide such assistance, in 

the absence of a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) seek to 

limit the damages (such as indirect, special, and consequential damages) which 

the Acquirer would be entitled to receive in the event of Respondents’ breach of 

any agreement to provide Transitional Assistance. 

G. At the request of an Acquirer, Respondents shall use their best efforts to assist the 

Acquirer in the fulfillment of any Pre-need Contract included in the Divestiture Assets relating to the sale of a branded funeral package, including, but not limited to (i) Dignity 

Memorial Funeral Plan or (ii) Key Memories Plan, entered into by Respondents prior to 

the Divestiture Date; provided, however, that this Paragraph requires Respondents to assist only with such goods and services that the Acquirer cannot reasonably provide on its 

own. 

H. Respondents shall allow an Acquirer or Prospective Acquirer an opportunity to recruit 

and employ any Divestiture Business Employee relating to the relevant Divestiture Business and Divestiture Assets under the following terms and conditions: 

1. No later than ten (10) days after a request from an Acquirer or Prospective Acquirer, or Commission staff, Respondents shall (i) identify each Divestiture Business Employee, (ii) provide the Employee Information for each Divestiture Business Employee; (iii) allow the Acquirer or Prospective Acquirer an opportunity to 

meet personally with and interview such employee outside the presence or hear-
14 

ing of Respondents, and (iv) allow the Acquirer to inspect the personnel files and 

other documentation relating to any such employee, to the extent permissible under applicable laws; 

2. Respondents shall (i) not offer any incentive to any Divestiture Business Employee to decline employment with the Acquirer or Prospective Acquirer, (ii) remove 

any contractual impediments with Respondents that may deter any Divestiture 

Business Employee from accepting employment with the Acquirer or Prospective 

Acquirer, including, but not limited to, any non-compete or confidentiality provisions of employment or other contracts with Respondents that would affect the 

ability of such employee to be employed by the Acquirer or Prospective Acquirer, 

and (iii) not otherwise interfere with the recruitment, hiring, or employment of 

any Divestiture Business Employee by the Acquirer or Prospective Acquirer; 

3. Respondents shall (i) vest all current and accrued pension benefits as of the date 

of transition of employment with the Acquirer for any Divestiture Business Employee who accepts an offer of employment from the Acquirer or Prospective Acquirer no later than thirty (30) days from the relevant Divestiture Date, (ii) provide any Key Employee to whom the Acquirer or Prospective Acquirer has made 

an offer of employment with reasonable financial incentives to accept a position 

with the Acquirer or Prospective Acquirer at the time of divestiture of the relevant 

Divestiture Assets; and 

4. For a period of two (2) years commencing on the Divestiture Date applicable to 

the relevant business within the Divestiture Businesses, Respondents shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce, or attempt to solicit or induce any Divestiture 

Business Employee who has accepted offers of employment with the Acquirer, or 

who is employed by the Acquirer, to terminate their employment relationship with 

the Acquirer; provided, however, a violation of this provision will not occur if: (1) 

the individual’s employment has been terminated by the Acquirer, (2) Respondents advertise for employees in newspapers, trade publications, or other media not 

targeted specifically at the employees, or (3) Respondents hire employees who 

apply for employment with Respondents, so long as such employees were not solicited by Respondents in violation of this paragraph. 

I. Respondents shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce, or attempt to solicit or induce 

a consumer who has a Pre-Need Contract (included in the Divestiture Assets) to terminate such contract and enter into a Pre-Need Contract with Respondents; provided, however, a violation of this provision will not occur if: (1) a consumer initiates communications with Respondents regarding a Pre-Need Contract; or (2) Respondents advertise in 

newspapers, trade publications, or other media in a manner not targeted specifically at 

customers of an Acquirer. 

J. The Commission may order Respondents to divest additional assets relating to Preparation Services not included in the Divestiture Assets, or effect other appropriate arrange-
15 

ments, as the Commission determines are necessary to ensure the divestiture of the Divestiture Assets as ongoing viable enterprises. 

K. If related to a geographic area located within a Specified State, Respondents shall provide 

a copy of each: 

1. Notification described in Paragraph V.B.1. of this Order to the relevant Specified 

State at the same time that such notification is transmitted to the Commission; and 

2. Application (including supporting materials) submitted to the Commission for its 

prior approval to acquire the Divestiture Assets pursuant to Paragraph II.A. of this 

Order to the relevant Specified State at the same time that such application is 

transmitted to the Commission. 

L. The purpose of the divestiture of the Divestiture Assets is to ensure the continued use of 

the assets in the same businesses in which such assets were engaged at the time of the announcement of the Acquisition by Respondents and to remedy the lessening of competition resulting from the Acquisition as alleged in the Commission’s Complaint. 

III.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that: 

A. Respondents shall (i) keep confidential (including as to Respondents’ employees) and (ii) 

not use for any reason or purpose, any Confidential Information received or maintained 

by Respondents relating to the Divestiture Business or Divestiture Assets; provided, however, that Respondents may disclose or use such Confidential Information in the course 

of: 

1. Performing their obligations or as permitted under this Order, the Hold Separate 

Order, or any Divestiture Agreement (Hold Separate Employees and Support Services Employees shall be deemed to be performing obligations under the Hold 

Separate Order); or 

2. Complying with financial reporting requirements, obtaining legal advice, prosecuting or defending legal claims, investigations, or enforcing actions threatened or 

brought against the Divestiture Business or Divestiture Assets, or as required by 

law. 

B. If disclosure or use of any Confidential Information is permitted to Respondents’ employees or to any other Person under Paragraph III.A. of this Order, Respondents shall limit 

such disclosure or use (i) only to the extent such information is required, (ii) only to those 

employees or Persons who require such information for the purposes permitted under 

Paragraph III.A., and (iii) only after such employees or Persons have signed an agreement 

to maintain the confidentiality of such information. 
16 

C. Respondents shall enforce the terms of this Paragraph III. as to its employees or any other 

Person, and take such action as is necessary to cause each of its employees and any other 

Person to comply with the terms of this Paragraph III., including implementation of access and data controls, training of its employees, and all other actions that Respondents 

would take to protect their own trade secrets and proprietary information. 

IV.

 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that: 

A. If Respondents have not fully complied with the divestiture and other obligations as 

required by Paragraph II. of this Order, the Commission may appoint a Divestiture Trustee to divest the Divestiture Assets and perform Respondents’ other obligations in a manner that satisfies the requirements of this Order. The Divestiture Trustee appointed pursuant to this Paragraph may be the same Person appointed as Hold Separate Trustee pursuant to the Hold Separate Order. 

B. In the event that the Commission or the Attorney General brings an action pursuant to 

§ 5(l) of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45(l), or any other statute enforced by the Commission, Respondents shall consent to the appointment of a Divestiture 

Trustee in such action to divest the relevant assets in accordance with the terms of this 

Order. Neither the appointment of a Divestiture Trustee nor a decision not to appoint a 

Divestiture Trustee under this Paragraph shall preclude the Commission or the Attorney 

General from seeking civil penalties or any other relief available to it, including a courtappointed Divestiture Trustee, pursuant to § 5(l) of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 

or any other statute enforced by the Commission, for any failure by the Respondents to 

comply with this Order. 

C. The Commission shall select the Divestiture Trustee, subject to the consent of Respondents, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Divestiture Trustee shall be 

a person with experience and expertise in acquisitions and divestitures. If Respondents 

have not opposed, in writing, including the reasons for opposing, the selection of any 

proposed Divestiture Trustee within ten (10) days after notice by the staff of the Commission to Respondents of the identity of any proposed Divestiture Trustee, Respondents 

shall be deemed to have consented to the selection of the proposed Divestiture Trustee. 

D. Within ten (10) days after appointment of a Divestiture Trustee, Respondents shall 

execute a trust agreement that, subject to the prior approval of the Commission, transfers 

to the Divestiture Trustee all rights and powers necessary to permit the Divestiture Trustee to effect the relevant divestiture or other action required by the Order. 

E. If a Divestiture Trustee is appointed by the Commission or a court pursuant to this Order, 

Respondents shall consent to the following terms and conditions regarding the Divestiture Trustee’s powers, duties, authority, and responsibilities: 
17 

1. Subject to the prior approval of the Commission, the Divestiture Trustee shall 

have the exclusive power and authority to assign, grant, license, divest, transfer, 

deliver, or otherwise convey the relevant assets that are required by this Order to 

be assigned, granted, licensed, divested, transferred, delivered, or otherwise conveyed, and to take such other action as may be required to divest the Divestiture 

Assets. 

2. The Divestiture Trustee shall have twelve (12) months from the date the Commission approves the trust agreement described herein to accomplish the divestiture, 

which shall be subject to the prior approval of the Commission. If, however, at 

the end of the twelve (12) month period, the Divestiture Trustee has submitted a 

plan of divestiture or believes that the divestiture can be achieved within a reasonable time, the divestiture period may be extended by the Commission, or in the 

case of a court-appointed Divestiture Trustee, by the court. 

3. Subject to any demonstrated legally recognized privilege, the Divestiture Trustee 

shall have full and complete access to the personnel, books, records, and facilities 

related to the relevant assets that are required to be assigned, granted, licensed, 

divested, delivered, or otherwise conveyed by this Order and to any other relevant 

information, as the Divestiture Trustee may request. Respondents shall develop 

such financial or other information as the Divestiture Trustee may request and 

shall cooperate with the Divestiture Trustee. Respondents shall take no action to 

interfere with or impede the Divestiture Trustee’s accomplishment of the divestiture. Any delays in divestiture caused by Respondents shall extend the time for 

divestiture under this Paragraph IV in an amount equal to the delay, as determined 

by the Commission or, for a court-appointed Divestiture Trustee, by the court. 

4. The Divestiture Trustee shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to negotiate the most favorable price and terms available in each contract that is submitted 

to the Commission, subject to Respondents’ absolute and unconditional obligation 

to divest expeditiously and at no minimum price. The divestiture shall be made in 

the manner and to an Acquirer as required by this Order; provided, however, if the 

Divestiture Trustee receives bona fide offers from more than one acquiring entity, 

and if the Commission determines to approve more than one such acquiring entity, the Divestiture Trustee shall divest to the acquiring entity selected by Respondents from among those approved by the Commission; provided further, 

however, that Respondents shall select such entity within five (5) days of receiving notification of the Commission’s approval. 

5. The Divestiture Trustee shall serve, without bond or other security, at the cost and 

expense of Respondents, on such reasonable and customary terms and conditions 

as the Commission or a court may set. The Divestiture Trustee shall have the authority to employ, at the cost and expense of Respondents, such consultants, accountants, attorneys, investment bankers, business brokers, appraisers, and other 

representatives and assistants as are necessary to carry out the Divestiture Trustee’s duties and responsibilities. The Divestiture Trustee shall account for all 
18 

monies derived from the divestiture and all expenses incurred. After approval by 

the Commission and, in the case of a court-appointed Divestiture Trustee, by the 

court, of the account of the Divestiture Trustee, including fees for the Divestiture 

Trustee’s services, all remaining monies shall be paid at the direction of the Respondents, and the Divestiture Trustee’s power shall be terminated. The compensation of the Divestiture Trustee shall be based at least in significant part on a 

commission arrangement contingent on the divestiture of all of the relevant assets 

that are required to be divested by this Order. 

6. Respondents shall indemnify the Divestiture Trustee and hold the Divestiture 

Trustee harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses arising out of, or in connection with, the performance of the Divestiture Trustee’s duties, including all reasonable fees of counsel and other expenses incurred in connection with the preparation for, or defense of, any claim, whether or not resulting 

in any liability, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, 

or expenses result from gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Divestiture 

Trustee. For purposes of this Paragraph IV.E.6., the term “Divestiture Trustee” 

shall include all Persons retained by the Divestiture Trustee pursuant to Paragraph 

IV.E.5. of this Order. 

7. The Divestiture Trustee shall have no obligation or authority to operate or maintain the relevant assets required to be divested by this Order. 

8. The Divestiture Trustee shall report in writing to Respondents and to the Commission every sixty (60) days concerning the Divestiture Trustee’s efforts to accomplish the divestiture. 

9. Respondents may require the Divestiture Trustee and each of the Divestiture 

Trustee’s consultants, accountants, attorneys, and other representatives and assistants to sign a customary confidentiality agreement; provided, however, such 

agreement shall not restrict the Divestiture Trustee from providing any information to the Commission. 

F. The Commission may require the Divestiture Trustee and each of the Divestiture 

Trustee’s consultants, accountants, attorneys, and other representatives and assistants to 

sign a confidentiality agreement related to Commission materials and information received in connection with the performance of the Divestiture Trustee’s duties. 

 

G. If the Commission determines that a Divestiture Trustee has ceased to act or failed to act 

diligently, the Commission may appoint a substitute Divestiture Trustee in the same 

manner as provided in this Paragraph IV. 

H. The Commission or, in the case of a court-appointed Divestiture Trustee, the court, may 

on its own initiative or at the request of the Divestiture Trustee issue such additional orders or directions as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the divestitures and 

other obligations or action required by this Order. 
19 

V.

 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that: 

A. For a period of ten (10) years from the date this Order is issued, Respondents shall not, 

without providing advance written notification to the Commission, with respect to any of 

the geographic areas identified in Appendix B of this Order, acquire, directly or indirectly, through subsidiaries or otherwise, any leasehold, ownership interest, or any other interest, in whole or in part, in any concern, corporate or non-corporate, or in any assets engaged in Funeral Services or Cemetery Services, as specified in the relevant section of 

Appendix B of this Order. 

B. With respect to the notification: 

1. The prior notification required by this Paragraph V shall be given on the Notification and Report Form set forth in the Appendix to Part 803 of Title 16 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations as amended (hereinafter referred to as “the Notification”), 

and shall be prepared and transmitted in accordance with the requirements of that 

part, except that no filing fee will be required for any such notification, notification shall be filed with the Secretary of the Commission, notification need not be 

made to the United States Department of Justice, and notification is required only 

of the Respondents and not of any other party to the transaction. 

2. Respondents shall provide the Notification to the Commission at least thirty (30) 

days prior to consummating the transaction (hereinafter referred to as the “first 

waiting period”). If, within the first waiting period, representatives of the Commission make a written request for additional information or documentary material (within the meaning of 16 C.F.R. § 803.20), Respondents shall not consummate 

the transaction until thirty (30) days after submitting such additional information 

or documentary material. 

3. Early termination of the waiting periods in this Paragraph V may be requested 

and, where appropriate, granted by letter from the Bureau of Competition. Provided, however, that prior notification shall not be required by this Paragraph for 

a transaction for which notification is required to be made, and has been made, 

pursuant to Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 18a. 

VI.

 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that: 

A. All Divestiture Agreements shall be incorporated by reference into this Order and made a 

part hereof. Respondents shall comply with all terms of any Divestiture Agreement, and 

any breach by Respondents of any term of a Divestiture Agreement shall constitute a 
20 

failure to comply with this Order. If any term of a Divestiture Agreement varies from the 

terms of this Order (“Order Term”), then to the extent that Respondents cannot fully 

comply with both terms, the Order Term shall determine Respondents’ obligations under 

this Order. 

B. Respondents shall not modify, replace, or extend the terms of any Divestiture Agreement 

without the prior approval of the Commission. Notwithstanding any paragraph, section, 

or other provision of a Divestiture Agreement, any modification of such agreement without the prior approval of the Commission shall constitute a failure to comply with this 

Order, except as otherwise provided in Rule 2.41(f)(5) of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure, 16 C.F.R. § 2.41(f)(5). 

VII.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that: 

A. Respondents shall file a verified written report with the Commission setting forth in 

detail the manner and form in which they intend to comply, are complying, and have 

complied with this Order: 

1. No later than thirty (30) days from the date this Order is issued and every thirty 

(30) days thereafter until Respondents have fully complied with the provisions of 

Paragraphs II.A. and II.F. of this Order; and 

2. No later than one (1) year after the date this Order is issued and annually thereafter until this Order terminates, and at such other times as the Commission staff 

may request. 

 

B. With respect to any divestiture required by Paragraph II.A. of this Order, Respondents 

shall include in their compliance reports (i) the status of the divestiture and transfer of the 

Divestiture Assets; (ii) a description of all Transitional Services provided to each Acquirer; (iii) a description of all substantive contacts with each Acquirer; and (iv) any other actions taken by Respondents relating to compliance with the terms of this Order and/or any 

Divestiture Agreement, and (v) as applicable, a statement that any divestiture approved 

by the Commission has been accomplished, including a description of the manner in 

which Respondents completed such divestiture and the date the divestiture was accomplished.

VIII. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents shall notify the Commission at least 

thirty (30) days prior to: 

A. Any proposed dissolution of Respondents; 

B. Any proposed acquisition, merger, or consolidation of Respondents; or 
21 

C. Any other change in the Respondents, including, but not limited to, assignment and the 

creation or dissolution of subsidiaries, if such change might affect compliance obligations 

arising out of the Order. 

IX. 

 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, for the purpose of determining or securing compliance with this Order, and subject to any legally recognized privilege, and upon written request 

and upon five (5) days’ notice to Respondents, Respondents shall, without restraint or interference, permit any duly authorized representative of the Commission: 

A. Access, during business office hours of the Respondents and in the presence of counsel, 

to all facilities and access to inspect and copy all books, ledgers, accounts, correspondence, memoranda and all other records and documents in the possession, or under the 

control, of the Respondents related to compliance with this Order, which copying services shall be provided by the Respondents at their expense; and 

B. To interview officers, directors, or employees of the Respondents, who may have counsel 

present, regarding such matters. 
22 

X.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this Order shall terminate ten (10) years from the 

date it is issued. 

By the Commission.
