Public consultations: Reminder
November 14, 2023 by funeral-industry-news No Comments | Category Uncategorized
The Scottish Government launched a collection of public consultations on 25 August 2023 on different aspects of regulation of the funeral sector:
- Alkaline hydrolysis (‘water cremation’)
- Burial
- Inspection of burial, cremation and funeral directors
- Licensing for funeral directors.
The consultations are still available on the Scottish Government’s consultation hub, Citizen Space.
The consultations will close on Friday 17 November 2023.
We encourage members of the public and the funeral sector to respond to the consultations by Friday.
