  10. This one was harder than it seemed ar first. Viking funerals are out - burning ships count as cremation, right? Burial at sea? No, it’s right there in the name.

I’ve told my brother to drag me up onto the mountaintop and let the wolves eat me, which is less than traditional, but probably not a very good feud answer.
