The Scottish Government has on 17 February published guidance in support of The Burial (Applications and Register) (Scotland) Regulations 2024 and The Burial (Management) (Scotland) Regulations 2025 which will come into force on 1 March 2025.
The team have also been working to address a number of issues that were brought to their attention regarding the new burial forms, one of which was the signing of the forms.
The amended forms and alternative instructions for signing the forms, will be uploaded to the SG webpage in the coming days.
