Norse funeral. (Redirected from Viking funeral) Norse funerals, or the burial customs of Viking Age North Germanic Norsemen (early medieval Scandinavians), are known both from archaeology and from historical accounts such as the Icelandic sagas, Old Norse poetry, and notably from the account of Ahmad ibn Fadlan.
Perhaps the main reason why Vikings are popular today is that they are the ancestors of Scandinavians, Scandinavian-Americans, Scandinavian-Canadians, Baltic peoples, and French Normans. Especially today, these descendants of the Vikings consider having Viking blood in their veins a point of personal pride. Certainly the popular image created through works of literature and other media have bolstered this pride, but these Viking descendants have also done a great deal to keep the memory alive.
