Our predicted date is Wednesday, November 4. This is when we
expect Service Corp International to declare its next dividend, not when the stock goes
ex-dividend — we publish this estimate as early as about three months before the board is
expected to meet.
Service Corp International pays dividends quarterly. We hold 138 payments for it, going back to January 1987 — the full record is below, with what it has paid and when, and how far ahead of each ex-date it declares. We don't publish a predicted next ex-dividend date for SCI. As soon as the company declares one it will appear at the top of this page; until then the record below is what we hold.

- Do I need to own SCI before the ex-dividend date?
- Yes. You must already hold the shares when trading opens on the ex-dividend date to receive the payment. Buying on the ex-date itself is too late — the seller keeps that dividend. See ex-date vs record date vs payment date for how the dates fit together.

- Service Corp International has historically paid quarterly, across 138 payments since January 1987.

- The most recent payment was $0.36 per share, with an ex-date of June 15, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $1.44 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
