SCI settles class action lawsuit

Houston-based Service Corporation International, the world's largest funeral and cemetery company, announced late last week that it had entered into a memorandum of understanding to settle the securities class action lawsuit that has been pending in U.S. District Court in Houston against SCI and certain of its current and former officers since January 1999. The suit alleges that SCI made misrepresentations concerning its prearranged funeral business and other financial matters. The settlement is for $65 million, with SCI's insurers ponying up $30 million of the settlement payment.
