How much red tape you think one would have to go through to have a Floating Pyre funeral?

If it’s written in someone’s last wishes to have their corpse put on a floating funeral pyre..
set a drift then have flaming arrows launched to set it a fire.. basically and outdoor cremation.
How much red tape would you think they’d go thru setting that up?
Would a lawyer even want to help set it up?
I believe it’s only legal in Colorado
Slow day at work today and this conversation came up..don’t know how or why but it did
IMO It would be pretty cool
But “my body my choice” Right?

None if you don’t tell anybody first

Fun fact: Vikings didn't have Viking funerals. They practiced burials along with the items they would need in the next life, not unlike ancient Egyptians. Thus by excavating burial sites archaeologists have learned a lot about how they lived.

I want my corpse to be fed to lions on the African Plain.

There's literally nothing stopping anyone right now from getting into a boat or canoe, setting adrift in a body of water, and dousing himself and boat with gasoline and lighting it.

I attended a Hindu one in Kathmandu on the banks of the Bagmati River.

Better to ask for forgiveness than permission…if you’re alive at least.

I can’t even begin to explain how filthy that river is. The water isn’t any water color I’ve ever seen And the smell

Great fricking question.
What happens after the ceremony? Do you have to retrieve of and then properly (or not) dispose of the body? I think that would be the biggest issue. If you just light them up and walk away, nobody would know who did it.

I can set that up for you in a bayou in Mississippi with no fuss, and for a reasonable fee.

I want to be cremated anyway so i would absolutely be down with this.

Buy 20 acres or so with a nice little lake.

Getting buried without embalming fluid or a state-approved coffin (in LA at least) is difficult enough.

I'm up in the spotlight
Oh does it feel right
Oh altitude seems to get to me
I'm up on the tight wire
Flanked by life and the funeral pyre
Putting on a show for you to see
Like a rubber-neck giraffe
You look into my past
Well maybe you're just too blind to see

This would be more like a cremation though…would the rules be different?

Just launch into lake pontchatrain and have some baws pull over on the causeway and shoot arrows into your boat.
Should be fine.
