By Sara Rosenberg

New York, Sept. 11 - Service Corp. is scheduled to hold a bank meeting on Thursday to launch its proposed $450 million credit facility, according to a market source.

JPMorgan is the lead bank on the deal.

The facility consists of a $150 million senior unsecured term loan talked at Libor plus 250 basis points and a $300 million revolver, the source said.

Proceeds will be used to help fund the acquisition of Alderwoods Group Inc. for $20.00 per share in cash. The transaction is valued at $856 million.

Houston-based Service Corp. is a leading provider of funeral and cemetery services. Cincinnati-based Alderwoods is the second largest operator of funeral homes and cemeteries.
