Mortuary services: standards guidance
The Mortuary Standards were developed in collaboration with partners across Scotland to support mortuaries in delivering a nationally consistent and high standard of care for the deceased and the bereaved. This guidance was produced by the Scottish Ministers, Police Scotland and the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.
