EXHIBIT 99.4


            STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND
                PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND
                 CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS

I, Jeffrey E. Curtiss, state and attest that:

         (1)   To the best of my knowledge, based on a review of the covered
               reports of Service Corporation International listed below, and
               except as supplemented or corrected in a subsequent covered
               report:

               o    No covered report contained an untrue statement of a
                    material fact as of the end of the period covered by that
                    report (or, in the case of the reports on Form 8-K or
                    definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which they
                    were filed);

               o    No covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary
                    to make statements in that report, in light of the
                    circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as
                    of the end of the period covered by that report (or in the
                    case of the reports on Form 8-K or definitive proxy
                    materials, as of the date on which they were filed).

         (2)   I have reviewed the contents of this statement with our Audit
               Committee.

         (3)   In this statement under oath, each of the following reports is a
               "covered report":

               o    Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
                    2001;
               o    Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March
                    31 and June 30, 2002;
               o    Definitive proxy materials filed on April 12, 2002;
               o    The following Current Reports on Form 8-K of Service
                    Corporation International:
