Service Corporation International Sponsors Donate Life Float at the 128th Rose Parade®
December 23 2016 - 4:05PM
Service Corporation International (NYSE:SCI), North America’s
largest provider of funeral and cemetery services, and its brand,
Dignity Memorial®, are pleased to announce their ninth year as a
major sponsor of the Donate Life float that will appear in the
128th Rose Parade® on January 2, 2017.
Since 2009, SCI has participated in Donate Life’s annual tribute
to organ, eye and tissue donors, and helped 43 client families
honor a loved one with a memorial portrait featured on the Donate
Life float. These portraits, called “floragraphs”, are made
primarily of flowers, seeds and other natural materials.
The Dignity Memorial locations honoring donors with a floragraph
sponsorship this year include:
- Dignity Memorial Providers of Detroit honored donor Gary
Terreault, age 61.
- Goble Funeral Home and the Dignity Memorial Providers of New
Jersey honored donor Isak C. Anderson, age 14.
- Palm Mortuaries and Cemeteries, Las Vegas, honored donor
Russell Slouffman, Jr., age 21.
- Moore Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens, Arlington, Texas,
honored donor Philip John (P.J.) Wolf, age 8.
In preparation for the Rose Parade float, these Dignity Memorial
locations hosted floragraph finishing events in the weeks leading
up to the parade. At the events, family and friends paid
tribute to their loved ones, who had made organ, eye and tissue
donations, by putting the finishing touches on their floragraph
memorial portraits.
“The Donate Life Rose Parade float helps raise awareness of the
important cause of organ donation and helps our client families
celebrate the lives of their loved ones while healing during a time
of loss,” said Phil Jacobs, senior vice president and chief
marketing officer at SCI. “We are honored to once again support
Donate Life’s mission of increasing the number of organ donors
around the country to help save lives.”
