Honouring Viking Spirits

A Unique Funeral Service

At Walker Family Funerals, we understand the deep connection many Australians feel to their ancestral roots, particularly the rich traditions of the Norse and Anglo-Saxon Vikings. Our dedicated team is here to help you honour your loved one's Viking spirit through a meaningful and personalised funeral service.

What We Offer for a Viking Service:

  • Knowledgeable Celebrant: Our celebrants are well-versed in Pagan rituals and Viking traditions, ensuring that the service is authentic and respectful.

  • Grave Goods Discussion: We can assist in selecting appropriate grave goods to accompany your loved one, honouring their journey in the afterlife. This is available for burial only.

  • Rune Stones: Incorporating rune stones into the ceremony adds a layer of symbolism and connection to Viking heritage.

  • Symbolic Burning: While traditional practices like sending a flaming arrow to a funeral ship at sea are not feasible, we can create a symbolic fire ceremony. (Fire restrictions during warmer months apply)

  • Outdoor Ceremonies: Hosting the service outdoors allows for a connection with nature, reflecting the Viking appreciation for the natural world.

  • Display of Warrior Weapons: Featuring symbolic warrior weapons as part of the ceremony can celebrate the strength and bravery of your loved one.

Co-Creation of the Service

We believe in collaborating with families to weave personal stories, music, and symbols into the ceremony, creating a tribute that truly reflects the spirit of your loved one. Together, we can craft a memorable farewell that honours the legacy of the Vikings in a meaningful way.
