The Scottish Government has given the green light for hydrolysis to become a legal funeral option from 2 March.

Although there is not yet an operational hydrolysis facility in Scotland, this new regulation means families will eventually have another funeral choice, alongside burial and cremation. We welcome any change that gives families more choice when planning a funeral for their loved one.

Visit https://f.mtr.cool/oydbggafcy to read our recent blog on hydrolysis.
