Supplemental petition for approval of proposed divestiture: The Commission has received a supplemental petition from Service Corporation International (SCI) and Alderwoods Group, Inc. seeking approval of a proposed divestiture related to SCI’s recent acquisition of Alderwoods. In the FTC’s consent agreement and order allowing the transaction to proceed with conditions, SCI and Alderwoods were required to divest a range of funeral home and cemetery services companies. Through this petition, a public version of which can be found on the Commission’s Web site as a link to this press release, the companies have requested approval to divest Parnick Jennings Funeral Home & Cremation Services of Cartersville, Georgia, to Pinnacle Funeral Services, LLC.

This petition supplements a petition submitted to the Commission earlier this year by substituting Pinnacle for Rollings Funeral Services, Inc. Pinnacle is a collaboration between Vinyard Financing, LLC, and Greg Rollings, who founded and owns Rollings and will serve a president of Pinnacle.
