Exhibit 99.1

Service Corporation International Announces Preliminary Results of
Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation for Certain of Its 7.70% Notes Due
April 15, 2009

HOUSTON, Sept. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Service Corporation International (NYSE: SCI), which owns and operates funeral service locations and cemeteries, announced today the results to date of its previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation for any and all of its outstanding 7.70% Notes due April 15, 2009, CUSIP Nos. 817565AX2, 817565AV6 and 817565AW4 (the “Notes”).

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 20, 2006 (the “Consent Date”), the last day and time for holders to deliver their Notes pursuant to the tender offer and be eligible to receive the Total Consideration including the Consent Payment, holders of approximately $138,932,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes had tendered their Notes pursuant to the tender offer. This participation represents approximately 96.17% of the total principal amount of Notes outstanding. Notes tendered prior to the Consent Date may no longer be withdrawn and consents delivered prior to the Consent Date may no longer be revoked.

SCI also announced that it has received the requisite consents to adopt the proposed amendments pursuant to the consent solicitation. As a result, it is expected that SCI and the indenture trustee will execute a supplemental indenture in respect of such amendments, with such amendments to become operative upon the acceptance for payment of Notes pursuant to the tender offer.

Holders who validly tendered their Notes by the Consent Date will be eligible to receive the Total Consideration offered in the tender offer and consent solicitation, namely $1,058.11 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Consent Date. Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Consent Date and on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, October 5, 2006 (the “Expiration Date”), will be eligible to receive $1,038.11 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, representing the Total Consideration less the consent payment of $20.00 per $1,000 principal amount. In addition, holders whose Notes are purchased will be paid accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the payment date. Payments are expected to be made promptly after the Expiration Date.

J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. is the exclusive Dealer Manager and Solicitation Agent for the tender offer and the consent solicitation. Questions concerning the terms of the tender offer and the consent solicitation may be directed to J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. at (212) 270-3994 (call collect).

SCI currently has outstanding a separate series of 7.70% Notes due 2009, which have different CUSIP Numbers. SCI is not making a tender offer or consent solicitation for those notes.

This communication is for informational purposes only. It is not an offer to purchase, a solicitation of an offer to purchase or a solicitation of consents with respect to any securities. The tender offer and consent solicitation are being made solely by the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated September 7, 2006.

EX-99.2 3 sc7261ex992.htm EXHIBIT 99.2

Exhibit 99.2

Service Corporation International Announces the Determination of the
Consideration for Certain of Its 7.70% Notes Due April 15, 2009

HOUSTON, Sept. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Service Corporation International (NYSE: SCI), which owns and operates funeral service locations and cemeteries, announced today the determination of the consideration payable in its previously announced cash tender offer for any and all of its outstanding 7.70% Notes due April 15, 2009, CUSIP Nos. 817565AX2, 817565AV6 and 817565AW4 (the “Notes”), and related consent solicitation under the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated September 7, 2006 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent. The total consideration for the Notes (the “Total Consideration”), which will be payable in respect of the Notes that are accepted for payment and that are validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Consent Date (as defined below), will be $1,058.11 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which includes a $20.00 payment (“Consent Payment”), payable only in respect of Notes that are tendered with consents on or prior to the Consent Date. In addition, holders will be paid accrued and unpaid interest on the tendered Notes up to, but not including, the payment date.

The Total Consideration for the Notes was determined as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, today and is calculated based in part on the 3-1/8% U.S. Treasury Note due April 15, 2009 (the “Reference Security”). The Reference Security Yield and the Tender Offer Yield to calculate the Total Consideration are 4.713% and 5.213%, respectively. The Total Consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered prior to the Consent Date will be $1,058.11, the present value of the scheduled payments on the Notes based on a fixed spread pricing formula, which is calculated utilizing a yield equal to the Reference Security, plus 50 basis points, namely the Tender Offer Yield, minus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the payment date. The detailed methodology for calculating the Total Consideration for Notes is outlined in the Offer to Purchase.

The consent solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, today, unless earlier terminated or extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Consent Date”). Holders who tender their Notes must consent to the proposed amendments. Tendered Notes may not be withdrawn and consents may not be revoked after the Consent Date.

Holders who validly tender their Notes on or prior to the Consent Date will be eligible to receive the Total Consideration. Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Consent Date and on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, October 5, 2006 (the “Expiration Date”) will be eligible to receive the Total Consideration less the Consent Payment. In either case, SCI will pay holders whose Notes are validly tendered and accepted for purchase, accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the payment date. Payments are expected to be made promptly after the Expiration Date.

J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. is the exclusive Dealer Manager and Solicitation Agent for the tender offer and the consent solicitation. Questions concerning the terms of the tender offer and the consent solicitation may be directed to J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. at (212) 270-3994 (call collect).
