Scottish Government Introduces Hydrolysis Regulations Under the Burial and Cremation (Scotland) Act 2016

Today, the Hydrolysis (Scotland) (No. 1) Regulations 2026 and the Hydrolysis (Scotland) (No. 2) Regulations 2026 were laid in the Scottish Parliament. This significant step towards regulation is very welcome news for the team at Resomation and Kindly Earth. It brings the opportunity one step closer for people in Scotland to have a new third funeral choice alongside cremation and burial.

The draft Regulations will now go on to be considered by the relevant Parliamentary Committees.

Our UK partner, Kindly Earth is looking forward to continuing to work with leading organisations in the Scottish funeral sector to make the choice of Resomation a reality.
