A Viking Funeral
A downloadable guide
When you lose a friend along the way,
And life urges you to move on,
But you need to stop and say farewell,
Throw this guide upon the table and say:
OUR FRIEND DESERVES A VIKING FUNERAL!
A Viking Funeral is a GM-less minigame to say farewell to a lost character. In turns, players pick a scene such as Last Words, Loot (For) The Body and A Tall Tale. You end with a funeral for both the character and the character sheet.

I absolutely love this idea. I hope to use the game one day when I run something other than Wanderhome (where characters die extremely rarely)!
could be a great tradition to send off every character who dies in a campaign like this
