My good friend and neighbor passed a few weeks ago. He wanted a Viking type send away, so family and friends accommodated his wishes. This was a celebration of a good man and a good friend's life.
Yes, we had boats out for safety.
Yes, there were fireworks inside the "ship" . Layered explosions.

Interesting for sure, but why not?
Well, that’s different, but I think I like it.
I had a good fishing Buddy died last year and his last wish was to have his ashes scattered on Patoka lake so why not a viking funeral LOVE IT may he fish in peace
Interesting
Quite the send off, glad his wishes were honored. Condolences for the loss of a good friend/neighbor.
I like it, on the Viking part. Sorry about your friend.

I want to be placed on a pyre and burned right up the hill from the pond on our farm. I doubt that happens, but it's what I want to happen.
Glad his wishes were able to be honored. RIP
RIP good buddy
That's neat. R.I.P.
Good send off.
Pretty neat send off. R.I.P.
Did the little boat ever sink. RIP and may GOD bless you and your family
Yes, it burned and finally sank, except a remaining small charred piece which was recovered. We had boats deployed to insure safety.Quote:

Neat....When my dad passed in 05 he wanted his ashes spread on the first quarter of land he bought, when the local co-op spread fertilizer that spring we put the ashes in the floater with the fertilizer.
Exceptionally cool way to honor a friend. Great send off, properly done. Skal to your buddy.

Your friend was a lucky man to have friends that would honor his wishes like that. That speaks a lot for the way I think of things
RIP
TIGHT LINES AND THUMPS
