How does a Viking funeral look like these days?! Like being thrown in a ditch with tons of other people and/or put on a ship and burnt with all their belongings?!

one of my dreams when i die is to be put on a rocket, and go as fast as humanly possible and then get as close to the sun before the entire thing burns, which in today's technology and thermal protection systems (maybe like ceramic matrix composites), gets to ~ 1/3 of the way between mercury and the sun

Total mission cost was $1.5B. If we got 100 people to buy in today, for 1 BTC each, we could finance sending our bodies up in 50ish years no problem. By then, BTC will be worth $10m or more, and launch costs will be a ton cheaper.
