Environmental imperatives: Traditional cremation emits carbon dioxide and uses fossil-fuel derived energy; burial uses land, coffins, and long-term maintenance. Terramation offers a lower-land-footprint, lower-emissions alternative.

Social change and consumer demand: Surveys indicate growing public interest in greener end-of-life choices.

Legal gap: The absence of explicit regulation for new methods in England and Wales creates uncertainty—eterrna UK sees this as an opportunity to help shape the regulatory environment.

Leadership potential: With few providers currently engaged in the UK, there is a clear opening for eterrna UK to establish itself as the recognised leader.

Our Hopes and Desires

We hope to see Terramation become a fully legal, regulated, mainstream option across England, Wales (and eventually the UK) – endorsed by government, trusted by the public, and operated to the highest standards.

We desire to work together with legislators and regulators, not merely to respond to reform, but to help craft it.

We aspire for eterrna to set the benchmark: for environmental performance, for dignity of treatment of the deceased, for transparency, safety and consumer trust.

We believe that being the flagship company will allow us to achieve scale, build trust with families and local communities, and create a sustainable business model aligned with the climate and land-use challenges of the 21st century.

The regulatory horizon for new funerary methods in England and Wales is changing. The Law Commission’s consultation marks a critical hinge-point, and spring 2026 promises to set the legislative framework. eterrna is ready. By actively engaging with policymakers, building public and industry support, and preparing operational excellence, we position ourselves to lead Terramation in the UK.
