She succeeds Gerald S. Blaskie, who had announced plans to retire after a 25-year career with the company.

Key Details

• Appointment effective date: April 2, 2026.
• Predecessor: Gerald S. Blaskie — retiring after 25 years at SCI.

Why It Matters
A CFO change is a material leadership transition that can affect financial reporting, controls, and investor communications. Because Ms. Yohn is already on staff as Director of Accounting and has prior corporate controller experience, the move suggests continuity in the company’s finance leadership rather than an external hire. Investors should note the effective date and monitor upcoming financial disclosures for any commentary on strategy or reporting changes.
