✨ Resomation now legal in Scotland 🎉

A significant milestone for the UK funeral profession — Scotland has become the first part of the UK to legalise hydrolysis (often referred to as Resomation or water cremation), marking the most notable change in legislation since cremation was introduced in 1902, offering further choice.

This moment feels especially meaningful for us. Our founder, Sandy Sullivan, who began championing this technology many years ago, is proudly Scottish — so it feels fitting that Scotland is leading the way in the UK.

Below, you can hear directly from Sandy as he reflects on the journey and what this development means for families, funeral professionals, and the future of end-of-life care.

✨ 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.

💧Curious about how alkaline hydrolysis works? 💧

Here’s a quick overview:

🔹 Water, heat, and an alkaline solution are used to gently break down the body, leaving behind only bones and sterile water.
🔹 The process mimics natural decomposition, but instead of taking years, the process is completed in just a few hours.
🔹 The final remains are then processed into ash, just like with flame cremation.
