when I was younger I really wanted a viking funeral because it just sounded really cool, with the recent birth of my son I'm not so sure, but a viking funeral still sounds pretty cool.......if anyone isn't familiar with this it entails:
they put you in a wodden box, set it on fire and put the box out to sea.

Could you imagine going fishing out at sea or something and coming across that? Nasty

everything gets burns except the bottom on the wood there really wouldn't be much more than a piece of wood to find

With bones and/or charred body on it. Bones don't burn typically. Usually when you are cremated they crush your bones.

hell you'll save money if ya died in a fire. heh-heh-heh. ok ok thats was groos, i was just kidding.

Cremation is technically cheaper but the cost of the funeral service and all that is the same. I am on the fence on that, I want a funeral pyre but I read it was not allowed in the US.

Oh if you die in a fire you better hope it something that burns pretty damn hot, like jet fuel. A house fire is going to a be a charred corpse.

i'd inspect the two boxes that i have somewhere here but i really dont feel like disrespecting my deceased family members judt to see if you all r rite

)).

still i wonder if there is such thing as separation up in the other dimensions of the universe, b/c if there was no separation, then no one would see one person as different from themselves, and thus no need to "be with two loved ones" or "pick between the two" in gravitykillr's said situation. which reminds me, i love that guilty song they had... i still got to buy that gravity kills cd btw...anywho...

A Viking funeral sounds cool..... Oh well I guess its an urn for me......

Crank you won't find bones in the remains. If anything is left it is disposed of. I guess when I think about funerals they are a waste.

Did you know that burying the dead was not part of human ritual until Neanderthals. Before that they simple left them where they were for scavengers and stuff.
