In Scotland, hydrolysis has been given the green light under new Scottish Government regulations and will be legalised from 2 March.

Although an operational hydrolysis facility is not yet open in Scotland, this development means families in Northumberland and North Tyneside will have potential future access to hydrolysis facilities within around an hour’s travel, offering another accessible funeral option alongside burial and cremation.

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