Service Corporation International Salutes National Hispanic Heritage Month
September 28 2016 - 4:05PM
Service Corporation International (NYSE:SCI), North America’s
largest provider of funeral and cemetery services, and its SCI
Hispana division, join the nation in celebration of National
Hispanic Heritage Month. This year’s theme, “Hispanic Americans:
Energizing Our Nation’s Diversity”, reinforces the contribution of
the Hispanic population to our nation across the centuries.
SCI Hispana was launched in 2002 with 34
locations to serve the growing Hispanic population. Under the
brands Dignity Memorial, Funeraria del Angel and Caballero Rivero,
SCI Hispana currently operates 94 funeral homes and 41 cemeteries
across the United States and Puerto Rico and continues to grow.
These locations specialize in the unique funeral
traditions of the Hispanic culture by offering overnight viewings
at funeral homes to allow family members to stay with a loved one
until final committal and providing personalized celebrations
reflecting the unique life of their loved ones. SCI Hispana funeral
homes are also equipped with large hospitality rooms with tables
and seating where families can serve refreshments. In addition,
each location has bilingual staff and can offer funeral services
customized to meet the needs of specific populations within the
Hispanic community.
“SCI Hispana is meeting the needs of Hispanic
families in the U.S. by offering services that respect their
funeral practices and embrace their heritage,” said Darin Sommer,
senior managing director of SCI Hispana. “We understand the
cultural traditions because we are part of the Hispanic
community.”
In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage
Month, SCI Hispana will host a series of free career workshops at
several locations every Tuesday evening through October 11 across
the United States and Puerto Rico. The workshops will focus on
strengthening interview skills, conducting online job searches and
professional dress for job interviews.
“We are excited to celebrate and recognize the
rich, vibrant Hispanic culture and its impact in the United States.
Our goal is to support the Hispanic community in the areas they
have identified as most important,” said Sommer. “That’s why we are
hosting a career workshop series during Hispanic Heritage Month,
taught by bilingual professionals experienced in human resources
and management, to help people searching for new jobs understand
what they need to do to be a successful job candidate.”
