Journey to the afterlife

Hazel King (aka HoneyBee) shows us the moment where the family and the loyal guard pays a last tribute to the deceased King before he starts its journey to the afterlife. The use of a boat to send the burning corpse to the afterlife was a common ritual in the Viking community.

The MOC shows a nicely boat and some cool details such as the wet sand and the sea waves.
