FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Docket No. 9071]

 

Service Corporation International; Prohibited Trade Practices and 
Affirmative Corrective Actions

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Modifying Order.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This order reopens the proceeding and modifies the 
Commission's 1976 consent order by deleting the administrative 
provisions that required the respondent to distribute a copy of the 
1976 order to its funeral homes and affected employees; provide prior 
notice to the Commission of certain changes in its corporate 
organization; and periodically notify the Commission regarding the 
acquisition or sale of any funeral homes. The Commission concluded that 
these provisions were no longer warranted or were essentially 
duplicative of requirements in provisions in more recent Commission 
orders against the respondent and therefore, warranted reopening and 
modifying the order.

DATES: Consent Order issued October 12, 1976. Modifying Order issued 
May 12, 1994.\1\

    \1\Copies of the Modifying Order and Commissioner Azcuenaga and 
Starek's statements are available from the Commission's Public 
Reference Branch, H-130, 6th & Pa. Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20580.
