Funeral Director Code of Practice
The Funeral Director Code of Practice (‘the Code’) was introduced under the Burial and Cremation (Scotland) Act 2016, and came into force on 1 March 2025.
The Code applies to all funeral directors carrying out the functions of a funeral director in Scotland and requires them to adhere to minimum standards in their care of the deceased.
The intention of the Code is that every person in Scotland will have a dignified and respectful funeral, and bereaved families can be reassured that good standards of care will be provided.
