Boat-Hearses
 
Does anyone out there know anything about Boat-Hearses and where one might
obtain one? I have included a link to the one and only photo I was able to
find.

I have a friend who is trying to commission me to build him a small
viking type ship, maybe 20 feet... Only problem is he also wants me to
put him in it and send it to sea on fire upon his death. I did not
mind so much when he asked me to do it, but when I finally realized he
is serious, I kind of got freaked out. Still don't know if I am gonna
build that one, probably not. Scotty

Well this is just my opinion. But if those are truly his last wishes and he
can afford to have it built. AND he can do that legally. I mean really its
no different than a burial at sea. Anyway just my opinion.

My self, the reason I want one if I just like to collect weird stuff.

Certainly a personal choice for you but if that's what your friend truely
wants
I'd take it as an honor to do it. Provided of course you won't get into
legal
trouble by doing that. I suspect it would be illegal.

That is my suspicion too. And also there could be liability issues if
the wind changed and the boat came back! Scotty.

What if he is cremated first...
Then take his ashes out on the viking longboat and then set it afire.
