Stewart Enterprises Company Description
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 International), Stewart Enterprises operates some 220 funeral homes and about 140 cemeteries in about 25 US states and Puerto Rico. It offers funeral prearrangement, cremation, family consultation, sales of caskets and flowers, preparation of remains, 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 rejected an first $881 million takeover offer from Service Corporation as inadequate in mid-2008, and considered a second higher offer from Service, before the offer was rescinded.
