At Horizon Cremation, we believe that dignity, respect, and transparency must underpin everything we do. Families place their trust in us at the most difficult of times, and we honour that trust by ensuring our crematoria operate to the highest possible standards of governance, compliance, and care.
Our Commitment to Policies and Compliance
Commitment to Best Practice
We are fully compliant with all relevant legislation and regulation across Scotland, including the Burial and Cremation (Scotland) Act 2016, the Cremation (Scotland) Regulations 2019, and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our services are delivered in line with the codes of practice set by national industry bodies such as the Federation of Burial and Cremation Authorities (FBCA) and the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management (ICCM).
Policies That Protect Families
We maintain a comprehensive suite of policies covering:
- Data Protection and Privacy – safeguarding personal information and meeting GDPR obligations.
- Infant Cremation Policy – ensuring the highest standards of care, transparency, and sensitivity in the cremation of babies and infants, fully compliant with the recommendations of the Infant Cremation Commission.
These policies are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure they remain aligned with current law, sector guidance, and the expectations of the communities we serve.
Transparency and Accountability
Our crematoria are inspected by independent regulators and national authorities, and we welcome this oversight as part of our responsibility to maintain public confidence. We are proud that our standards have been recognised with national awards for both service excellence and contribution to the funeral sector.
Continuous Improvement
Compliance for Horizon Cremation is not simply about meeting statutory requirements – it is about leading the way. We actively support staff training and professional development, engage with industry bodies to raise standards across the sector, and invest in new policies and procedures that put families first.
