Service Corporation International Serves 100,000 Families With Its National Bereavement Travel Program
November 24 2015 - 9:44AM
Service Corporation International (NYSE:SCI), North America’s
largest provider of funeral and cemetery services, has renewed its
commitment to service excellence by serving 100,000 client families
with travel arrangement services for the last decade while some
major airlines have reduced or phased out their bereavement travel
programs over the years.
Through its Dignity Memorial® brand, SCI’s
Bereavement Travel Program is designed as an added value for client
families and their guests who need travel arrangements in order to
attend the funeral or memorial service of a loved one.
Designated travel advisors support those clients who need
assistance in finding the best fares, hotel rooms or even car
rentals.
“The program is an opportunity to reduce the
stress of the families we serve by simplifying their travel
arrangements during a very sensitive time in their lives,” said
Phil Jacobs, senior vice president and chief marketing
officer. “This important service simplifies travel
arrangements by helping our families find the best travel options
with a single phone call, so they can focus on being together, not
getting together,” said Jacobs.
More than 2,000 SCI locations across North
America provide families access to travel information, which helps
them get through this difficult time. Through the Dignity Memorial
Bereavement Travel Program, SCI provides the best available travel
options throughout the U.S. and Canada. There is a nominal
fee associated with the issuance of an airline ticket; however, on
a moment’s notice, dedicated travel specialists will seek the best
travel options as well as hotel and car accommodations for all
family and friends to attend a funeral, memorial or graveside
service.
