ITEM 8.01         OTHER EVENTS

On November 16, 2006, Service Corporation International, a Texas corporation
(the "Company") issued a press release announcing that, in connection with 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"), which commenced September 7, 2006, the Company has
further extended the time by which holders must tender Notes in response to the
tender offer. The tender offer, previously set to expire at 8:00 a.m., New York
City time, on November 16, 2006, will now expire at 8:00 a.m., New York City
time, on November 28, 2006, unless otherwise extended or earlier terminated. The
tender offer for the Notes originally was scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New
York City time, on October 5, 2006. Since the original expiration date, SCI has
extended the tender offer for the Notes in order to coordinate the closing of
the tender offer with SCI's anticipated closing of the acquisition of Alderwoods
Group, Inc. described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation
Statement dated September 7, 2006. A copy of the press release is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by
reference.

Nothing in this report should be construed as an offer to purchase the Notes, as
such offer is only being made upon the terms and is subject to the conditions
set forth in the Company's Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement
dated September 7, 2006 and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent.

ITEM 9.01         FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
