Unfortunately, my son, I believe it is (which is annoying because my father, brother, partner and I all want one) I believe it's illegal simply because of the improper disposal of a corpse. Of course you'd have to tone down the sacrificing too. No hand-maidens and certainly no blood-eagles done...drat. I think the closest we'll get to it is putting our own ashes in a replica ship, soaking it in a good ever-clear and setting it on fire in the nearest lake. Of course, I've already wood burned my ship on a good piece of ash. Blessings, my child.

There really is not alot of difference between a Viking funeral where the body is burned and a cremation. The latter is a prominent business but the former is considered very primitive and disturbing by most people. Unless it's done on your property in which you happen to have several hundred acres of land where no one will disturb you or be bothered, then you may run into problems with your neighbors and the local authorities.

You need to first check with your local government. They would be the ones to start with in order to get the proper permits to do it safely. You may have to have the body cremated in a funeral home but you can still have the rest of the service normally.

You might need a fire permit????????
But, obviously, I don't know for sure. I might totally depend on the county/state you live in.
I would think that a funeral home could tell you, after all, it is their job to know this sort of thing.
Good luck, and I am sorry for your loss (or future loss).

no...but it is expensive if you are having a traditional ship burial. And finding a place where you wont be distubed by lookiloos and people trying to intreeutp is hard.
I colleague of mine recently died and they cremated him in a funeral home than put the ashes on a small replica ship and burned it...

No, but here in Nevada there's just a $50 body-burning fine.

if you mean the boat burning thing
before starting the fire.
you only need to tow the boat out beyond the territorial waters
of any country. and use an all wooden boat to prevent an oil slick or other water hazard.

They won't be any less strict in any other state! Pretend like you will be in a pyre and then you won't be disappointed. WAY too many other things to think about.
