A Viking grave in a Scottish churchyard. (I don’t remember the name of the village, but it was very near Loch Lomond.)
The gravestone is carved so as to resemble an overturned boat— boat burials were still a thing.
The “viking funeral,” with the ship set on fire and pushed out to sea, is a creation of Hollywood, or maybe Victorian fictioneers. What they actually did was bury the whole ship with the corpse in it.
Here the deceased didn’t rate a whole ship, but he got a boat big enough to carry him to the (presumably Christian) afterlife.
