Yep.

A personal story in the experience: I Want to Have a Viking Funeral
I think it would be awesome to have all my worldly goods burnt along with my body (No virgins required, Ill be one when I die)  It might suck for all my relatives, or it might keep them warm - depends on the time of year.

 

If I couldn't have a viking funeral then I'd like to be shot out of a cannon.  Shoot me out to sea, into a volcano, at a passing comet to avert the Earth's destruction - I'm not fussed.

That's pretty neat. I had a friend once who actually said the same thing. Just put him on a raft, push him out to sea & light him up. Unfortunately, he told me & not his family, when his untimely end arrived he was cremated and put in a jar. Not so fitting for a viking at heart.

We learned about this at school and I thought it sounded pretty spiffy. Go out with a bang! Are you planning on going to Valhalla too then?

I'm sorry to hear about your friend Darlene. but never fear, I've been telling everyone for years - complete stranger at the pub included. Well, not the cannon bit. That's a new one. I'll tell my family that over Christmas. You know make the occasion just that little more festive.
And as for Valhalla, does it really need a runt with attitude? I'm guessing... yes it does.
