Comment on In the US or in Europe can I choose the way I want to go out? like maybe like a viking by setting a boat on fire while my body is on it? Or be shot out of a cannon HST style? or whatever?

Maybe but probably not. There are usually fairly comprehensive regulations about what you’re allowed to do with human remains.

Local environmental regulations where I live make it illegal to set fire to a wood boat too because they are treated with chemicals that makes them water proof and rot resistant.

I know because I’ve considered a viking style funeral too, but in the end I’m dead and won’t care. so why go thorough the legal trouble when I’m alive?
