Funeral Director Code of Practice
On 31 January 2024 the Funeral Director Code of Practice (“the Code”) was approved by the Scottish Parliament.
A year-long grace period to become compliant with the Code is now in effect, and the Scottish Government intends to formally issue and bring the Code into force on 1 March 2025.
From the date of issue and coming into operation onwards, funeral directors must comply with the Code as is required by section 97 of the Burial and Cremation (Scotland) Act 2016. The Code applies to all funeral directors carrying out the functions of a funeral director in Scotland regardless of where their business is based.
