SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 

Supplemental Indenture (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of December 23, 2013, among Service Corporation
International, a Texas corporation, (the “Parent”), the parent of Stewart Enterprises, Inc. (or its permitted successor), a Louisiana corporation (the “Company”), the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National
Association, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H 

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture, dated as of April 18, 2011 and as amended and
supplemented by a first supplemental indenture dated as of June 12, 2013 (the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of 6.50% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”); 

WHEREAS, Section 9.02 of the Indenture provides that the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or
the Notes or waive compliance with the terms thereof, in each case with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; 

WHEREAS, the Parent has agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Indenture and the Notes, which
guarantee is provided in this Supplemental Indenture; and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Indenture, the Trustee is
authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company, the Parent, the Guarantors and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows: 

1. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 2. Agreement to Guarantee. The Parent hereby agrees as follows: 

(a) Subject to Subsection 2(b) below, the Parent hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees (such guarantee being the “Parent
Guarantee”) to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company
under the Indenture or the Notes, that: (i) the principal of, and interest on, the Notes promptly will be paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, and
interest on, the Notes, if any, if lawful (subject in all cases to any applicable grace periods), and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee under the Indenture and the Notes will be promptly paid in full or performed,
all in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether on the payment dates specified by such extension or renewal, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due by the Company of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the
Parent shall be obligated to pay the same immediately. The Parent agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 
 The
Parent hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be full and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Indenture or the Notes thereunder, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or
consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions of the Indenture or the Notes, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal
or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Subject to Section 6.06 of the Indenture, the Parent hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the
Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Parent Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the
Notes and the Indenture. 
 If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any custodian, Trustee,
liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company, any amount paid by the Company to the Trustee or such Holder, this Parent Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 

 The Parent agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect
of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. 
 The Parent further agrees that (x) the maturity of
the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six of the Indenture for the purposes of this Parent Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by
the Parent for the purposes of this Parent Guarantee. The Parent shall have the right to seek contribution from the Guarantors so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under this Parent Guarantee. 

(b) The Parent, and by its acceptance of this Parent Guarantee, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that
the Parent Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for the purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to
the Parent Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Parent hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Parent under the Parent Guarantee shall be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall
not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 (c) The Parent shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders against the Company in
respect of any amounts paid by Parent pursuant to the provisions of the Parent Guarantee or the Indenture; provided, however, that the Parent shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of
subrogation until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Notes issued under the Indenture shall have been paid in full. 

3. Execution and Delivery. The Parent agrees that the Parent Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any
failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Parent Guarantee. 
 4. Release. The Parent shall be released from all of its
obligations under the Parent Guarantee and under the Indenture upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article Eight of the Indenture or upon satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture in accordance with Article Eleven of
the Indenture. 
 5. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator,
stockholder or agent of the Parent, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Parent under the Notes, any Parent Guarantee, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or
by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective
to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws. 
 6. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 

7. Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original,
but all of them together represent the same agreement. 
 8. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience
only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 9. Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever
for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Parent and the Company. 

10. Ratification and Effect; Confirmation of Note Guarantees. 

Except as hereby expressly amended, the Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, provisions and conditions
thereof shall be and remain in full force and effect. Each Guarantor by its execution hereof hereby agrees pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the Indenture that its Note Guarantee shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall apply to the
obligations of the Company as the surviving entity of the merger between the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent. 

  
 2 

 Upon and after the execution of this Supplemental Indenture, each reference in the Indenture
shall mean and be a reference to the Indenture as modified hereby. 
 11. Conditions Precedent. The Company represents and
warrants that each of the conditions precedent to the Supplemental Indenture (including the conditions contained in Section 9.02 of the Indenture) have been satisfied in all respects. The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Notes voting as a single class have consented to the Supplemental Indenture.
 12. Conflicts and Invalidity. 

To the extent of any inconsistency between the terms of the Indenture or the Global Notes and this Supplemental Indenture, the terms of this
Supplemental Indenture will control. 
 In case any provision in this Supplemental Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or of the Indenture shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

13. Entire Agreement. This Supplemental Indenture constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the
matters set forth herein. 
 14. Successors. All covenants and agreements in this Supplemental Indenture given by the parties
hereto shall bind their successors.

 Exhibit 4.4 

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT 

THIS GUARANTEE AGREEMENT (this “Guarantee”) dated as of December 23, 2013, made by each of the undersigned
Subsidiaries of the Borrower (as defined below) and such other Subsidiaries of the Borrower which hereafter become parties to this Guarantee (each, a “Guarantor,” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), in favor of
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”) for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of July 2, 2013 (as the same may have been and may hereafter be amended,
supplemented and restated, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders. 
 W
I T N E S S E T H 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the
Lenders have agreed to make Loans to Service Corporation International, a Texas corporation (the “Borrower”) in a manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein; 

WHEREAS, in accordance with the Credit Agreement, the Agent requires that the Guarantors execute a guarantee agreement guaranteeing the
Obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements
herein and in order to induce the Lenders to make the Loans pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors hereby agree as follows: 

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings assigned
thereto in the Credit Agreement. 
 Section 2. Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor (not merely as a surety or
guarantor of collection) hereby jointly, severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees the punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, as an installment, by prepayment or by demand, acceleration or otherwise, of
all Obligations of the Borrower heretofore or hereafter existing. If any or all of the Obligations become due and payable under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors jointly and severally and unconditionally promise to pay such Obligations, on
demand, together with any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), which may be incurred by the Agent in collecting any of the Obligations and in connection with the protection, defense and enforcement of any rights under
the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document (the “Expenses”). The Guarantors guarantee that the Obligations shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Obligations include, without limitation,
interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of any jurisdiction at the rate or rates provided in the Credit Agreement. The Agent shall not be required to exhaust any right or remedy or take
any action against the Borrower or any other person or entity or any collateral prior to any demand or other action hereunder against the Guarantors. The Guarantors agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Agent, the Obligations may be declared
to be due and payable for the purposes of this Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition which may prevent, delay or vitiate any declaration as regards the Borrower and that

 
in the event of a declaration or attempted declaration, the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purposes of this Guarantee and each Guarantor shall
forthwith pay the Obligations specified by the Agent to be paid as provided in the Credit Agreement without further notice or demand. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Credit Agreement, any Loan Document or any other document or
any other agreement, security document or instrument relating hereto or thereto to the contrary, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall never exceed the maximum amount that said Guarantor could pay without having such payment set
aside as a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance or similar action under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or applicable state or foreign law. 

Section 3. Guarantee Absolute. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guarantee is absolute and unconditional
irrespective of: (a) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, the Credit Agreement or the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any of the terms of the Credit
Agreement or the Obligations, including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon; (b) any release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guarantee or support document, or any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, for the Credit Agreement or the Obligations; (c) any present or future law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction or of any agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend,
restructure or otherwise affect any term of the Credit Agreement or the Obligations; (d) without being limited by the foregoing, any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or the Obligations; (e) any other setoff,
defense or counterclaim whatsoever (in any case, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) with respect to the Credit Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby which might constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or
discharge of, the Borrower or other Guarantors and (f) any claim or assertion that any payment by any Guarantor hereunder should be set aside pursuant to Section 2 in connection with any stay, injunction or other prohibition or event, in
which case each Guarantor shall be unconditionally required to pay all amounts demanded of it hereunder prior to any determination of the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder in accordance with Section 2 and the recipient of such
payment, if so required by a final non-appealable court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment, shall then be liable for the refund of any excess amounts. If any such rebate or refund is ever required, all other Guarantors
shall be fully liable for the repayment thereof to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law. 
 Section 4. Guarantee
Irrevocable. This Guarantee is a continuing guarantee of the payment of all Obligations now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all Obligations and other amounts
payable under this Guarantee and until all Commitments of the Lenders to make Loans under the Credit Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with the terms thereof and the Credit Agreement is no longer in effect. 

Section 5. Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be automatically reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agent on the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any of the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any Person that is a
party to the Loan Documents, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to any of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person that is a party to the Loan
Documents, or otherwise, all as though the payment had not been made. 

  
 2 

 Section 6. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall not
exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation, by any payment made under this Guarantee or otherwise, until all the Obligations have been paid in full and the Credit Agreement is no longer in effect. Any amounts paid to a Guarantor
on account of subrogation rights under this Guarantee at any time when all the Obligations have not been paid in full, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and shall promptly be paid to the Agent to be credited and applied to the
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured or absolute or contingent, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. If a Guarantor has made a payment to the Agent hereunder of all or any part of the Obligations and all the Obligations are
paid in full and the Credit Agreement is no longer in effect, the Agent shall, at such Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to the Guarantor the appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to
evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting from the payment. 
 Section 7.
Subordination. Any liabilities owed by the Borrower to the Guarantors in connection with any extension of credit or financial accommodation by the Guarantors to or for the account of the Borrower, including but not limited to interest
accruing at the agreed contract rate after the commencement of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, are hereby subordinated to the Obligations, and such liabilities of the Borrower to the Guarantors, if the Agent so requests, shall be collected,
enforced and received by the Guarantors as trustee for the Agent and shall be paid over to the Agent on account of the Obligations. 

Section 8. Certain Taxes. The Guarantors further agree that all payments to be made hereunder shall be made without setoff
or counterclaim and free and clear of, and without deduction for Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Agent hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Agent shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield
to the Agent (after payment of all Taxes) the amounts payable hereunder in the full amounts so to be paid. Whenever any Tax is paid by a Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter, such Guarantor shall send the Agent an official receipt showing
payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as may be required from time to time by the Agent. 
 Section 9.
Representations and Warranties. Each of the Guarantors represents and warrants that: (a) this Guarantee (i) has been authorized by all necessary action; (ii) does not violate any agreement, instrument, law, regulation or
order applicable to it; (iii) does not require the consent or approval of any Person, or any filing or registration of any kind; and (iv) is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in
accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; and (b) in executing and delivering this Guarantee, such
Guarantor has not relied and will not rely upon any representations or warranties of the Agent not embodied herein or any acts heretofore or hereafter taken by the Agent (including but not limited to any review by the Agent of the affairs of the
Borrower). 

  
 3 

 Section 10. Remedies Generally. The remedies provided in this Guarantee are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
 Section 11. Setoff. Each Guarantor agrees that, in
addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim the Agent or the Lenders may otherwise have, the Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled, at their option, to offset balances (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by them for the accounts of the Guarantors at any of the Agent’s or any Lender’s offices, in U.S. dollars or in any other currency, against any amount payable by the Guarantors under this
Guarantee which is not paid when due, in which case it shall promptly notify the Guarantors thereof; provided that the Agent’s or any Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof. 

Section 12. Formalities. Each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with
respect to any of the Obligations, the Credit Agreement and this Guarantee and any liability to which the Credit Agreement and this Guarantee applies or may apply, and waives presentment, demand of payment, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of
acceleration, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, and any requirement that the Agent institute suit, collection proceedings or take any other action to collect the Obligations, including any requirement that the Agent protect, secure, perfect or
insure any security interest or Lien against any Property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower or any other Person (including the other Guarantors) or any collateral (it being the intention of the Agent and
each Guarantor that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guarantee are to be a guarantee of payment and not of collection) or that the Borrower or any other Person (including the other Guarantors) be joined in any action hereunder. Each
Guarantor hereby waives marshaling of assets and liabilities, notice by the Agent of the creation of any Indebtedness or liability to which it applies or may apply, any amounts received by the Agent, notice of disposition or substitution of
collateral and of the creation, advancement, increase, existence, extension, renewal, rearrangement and/or modification of the Obligations. 

Section 13. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guarantee, nor consent to any release
by any Guarantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Agent and such Guarantor, and then the waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No
failure on the part of the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Guarantee shall operate as a waiver or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. 

Section 14. Expenses. The Guarantors shall reimburse the Agent on demand for all Expenses without duplication of any
reimbursements affected under the Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section shall survive the termination of this Guarantee. 

Section 15. Assignment. This Guarantee shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of the Guarantors, the Agent and
their respective successors and assigns; provided that the Guarantors may not assign or transfer their respective rights or obligations under this Guarantee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (a) the obligations of the
Guarantors under this Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect and shall be binding on any successor partnership and on previous partners and their respective estates if any of the 

  
 4 

 
Guarantors is a partnership, regardless of any change in the partnership as a result of death, retirement or otherwise; and (b) the Agent may assign, or otherwise transfer its rights under
the Credit Agreement to any other person or entity in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and the other person or entity shall then become vested with all the rights granted to the Agent in this Guarantee or otherwise. Any Guarantor
may merge into the Borrower or another Guarantor as provided in the Credit Agreement. 
 Section 16. Captions. The
headings and captions in this Guarantee are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of this Guarantee. 

Section 17. Governing Law, Etc. THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF
TEXAS. EACH GUARANTOR CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF HOUSTON. SERVICE OF PROCESS BY THE AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE BINDING ON EACH GUARANTOR IF SENT

RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS GUARANTEE. 
 Section 18. Integration; Effectiveness. This Guarantee alone sets
forth the entire understanding of the Guarantors and the Agent relating to the guarantee of the Obligations and constitutes the entire contract between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements
and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Guarantee shall become effective when it shall have been executed and delivered by the Guarantors to the Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Guarantee
by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed signature page of this Guarantee. 
 Section 19. Automatic
Release. As provided in Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, a Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under this Guarantee upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein. 

Section 20. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor (as hereinafter defined) hereby jointly and severally absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all 

  
 5 

 
of its obligations under this Guarantee in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 20
for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section, or otherwise under this Guarantee, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and
