<p>Alternative methods of disposal that do not involve burial, or the burning of human
remains are currently unregulated and fall outside the scope of the existing legislation
on burials and cremation. Providers wishing to offer such services must ensure they
comply with any other relevant legislation or regulation.</p><p>The Law Commission
has now started its project looking at modernising and streamlining the law governing
the disposal of human remains, with a view to putting forward a legal framework for
the future. We expect it will include consideration of the creation of a regulatory
framework for safe and dignified new processes, including terramation. Further details
of this work can be found on the Law Commission website: <a href="https://www.lawcom.gov.uk/project/a-modern-framework-for-disposing-of-the-dead/"
