O death! Where is thy sting? Nowhere, if Stewart Enterprises has anything to do with it. The #2 provider of funeral services in North America (behind Service Corporation ), Stewart Enterprises operates some 220 funeral homes and approximately 140 cemeteries in about 25 US states and Puerto Rico. It offers funeral prearrangement, cremation, family consultation, sales of caskets and flowers, use of funeral home facilities for visitation and worship, and transportation. Its cemetery operations include plot sales, burial services, monuments, and memorials. Founded in 1910, Stewart Enterprises in 2008 rejected an $881 million takeover offer from Service Corporation as inadequate, and considered a second higher offer from Service, before it was rescinded.

Competitive Landscape for Stewart Enterprises, Inc.
Demand for services is driven mainly by the number of older Americans. The profitability of individual companies depends on sales and marketing and efficient operations, because local demand is relatively fixed. The main advantage of large companies is their ability to share resources (limos and hearses, embalmers, and marketing costs) among clusters of funeral homes. Small operators can compete successfully with national companies because the funeral business is intensely local. The industry is labor-intensive: annual revenue per employee is around $130,000.
