Hydrolysis is now legal in Scotland, with families soon able to choose a third funeral option alongside cremation and burial. This marks one of the most significant changes in funeral legislation for over a century and, once a fully operational facility opens, will offer more choice for Scots looking to arrange ever more unique and memorable goodbyes for their loved ones.

Our Chief Operations Operator, Andrew Purves, has featured in media coverage across a variety of channels in recent days. In case you missed it, you can catch up on our TV, radio and podcast, or online features via the links below:

Today, water joins cremation and burial as a third funeral option available to families in Scotland which will be known as hydrolysis.

The launch of legalisation by the Scottish Government paves the way for more choice and personalisation of someone's final goodbye.

As we await the first facility to be built, families interested in finding out more can read our blog on what Hydrolysis is, the environmental impact and reasons to choose it.
