Viking farewell

Viking farewell

Welcome to Valhalla. Viking mythology, its many deities and their celebrated qualities are known around the world. Vikings feature widely in books, film and television, and many people still feel an affinity with these legendary warriors and develop a genuine passion for their way of life. If this describes you or someone close to you, we offer a funeral service inspired by these fascinating peoples and their culture. We can organise a wide range of elements, such as a staged battle that guests can watch or, if desired, join. The ceremony could take place in Hedeby during the Viking Days, or a boat carrying mementoes could be ceremonially set alight on the water with a bow and arrow. Professional storytellers can relate sagas about Odin and Valhalla, bringing the theme to life for the funeral guests. We also work with professional Viking workshops, where family members can make small pieces of memorial jewellery or similar keepsakes to take home as a reminder of the farewell. Guests can sit together at a long table and share food inspired by the period. Decorative concepts might include traditional Viking-style drinking horns in place of glasses, which may be kept after the gathering if desired. The details are shaped around your imagination and personal wishes. If this kind of farewell feels right for you or someone you love, we would be pleased to hear from you and offer personal guidance.
