Morbid question: are Viking funerals illegal?

[Jay5.9L]

I’m a middle age man and should really be working on a will, end of life instructions, etc. just to be safe.

Is a Viking funeral (where they launch your body on a boat and shoot flaming arrows) super illegal? I was thinking if I go what better way to end the show.

I think the modern version includes tannerite and rifles.

Yes.

You could always go the Gram Parsons route?

With the excess fertilizer in Utah Lake, you might get an explosion anyway...

Just do what I tell people I plan to do, have your remains scattered on a beach somewhere…..

But don’t get cremated 😂

I'm going to be cremated. Then my remains will be mixed into the soil around a newly planted oak tree in a cemetery, so I will be absorbed into the tree and drop acorns on all the other dead people for the next few hundred years.

Human composting bill to be considered as burial alternative

Utah lawmakers are being asked to consider human composting as another way to take care of those who have passed on.

I tell my wife that my one wish is to have them do a full body taxidermy on me. I figure they could probably do movable joints or animitronics and she can pose and decorate me. Even if they just do a growling bear type mount and put me near the front door. She seems to think this is illegal...

I really like this plan but only if they graft a horse dong on it.

I wish I could tell you it wasn't needed....😥

@Agility Customs will have something to say about that?

 

[Stephen]

My wife says her preferred funeral is have her ashes spread over a fire pit and then for everyone to have a hot dog roast.
Her mother says, "Over my dead body!" And my wife replies, "Yes, that's the plan." 🤣

My brother wants a Viking funeral if possible. If not, cremation and shot from a cannon.

MIL wants the planted tree idea.

I want to be cremated then have some of my ashes put in a lamp and given to my children so I'll stay in the box from the mortuary in the garage.

Oh wait. Thats what happened with my MIL. Full disclosure though, its my SIL's lamp that is in my garage because she lives in Rhode Island and didn't want to ship the lamp home when she left after the funeral. My wife didn't need any ashes to remember her mother.

I want to be buried in a wooden box that I make and to not be embalmed. I'd like to be buried next to my younger brother as well.

 

[Spork]

One of the old guys my dad knew wanted to be buried on his property without being embalmed in a casket he made. Laws basically said you can do it if you're buried in 24 hours. Now I'm eyeing a spot next to snowball and fluffy in the back yard

 

[glockman]

My wife wants to be cremated and have her ashes put into some sort of jewelry for our kids to wear, like a necklace. That's her next husband's problem since I won't make it past 60. I don't really care how the dispose of my wet robot hardware. This Viking thing sounds pretty awesome though. I'm sure Pleasant Grove would approve too. Maybe on Manilla Pond.

 

[kmboren]

I wonder if you have to own the body of water to make this happen?

 

[XJEEPER]

My brother and I had a similar conversation last month. His logic is how often do folks visit a gravesite of their deceased relative? What's the ROI value for a casket/vault, plot of dirt and stone marker? Cremation and spreading ashes over your favorite scenic overlook, trail or campsite has merit.

I think it's better to have family/friends bury you at the residence of someone you despise- out of spite. I pick 1111 Constitution Ave. NW Washington, DC 20224
