Bill would let Mainers go off to Valhalla in a blaze of glory

Mainers may soon be able to leave this life in a blaze of glory, as a new measure would allow a Viking-style funeral ritual.

If passed, Maine would join Colorado as the only other state to allow the funeral ritual that is associated with Norse culture, the Sun Journal reported.

The Viking funeral pyre has been popularized by TV series and cult-classic movies, but is not widely practiced in the modern world.
