What services funeral home provides?

A funeral home provides a range of services. This will depend to some degree on how many staff they have and what staff are licensed for. Each funeral home should be licensed as a funeral establishment and have a licensed funeral director or mortician. A funeral home generally provides professional services to a family to arrange a funeral or cremation. This can be from a simple, basic cremation or burial through to an elaborate full-service traditional funeral. Funeral homes will also provide services such as assisting with the completion of death notification paperwork and bereavement counseling. Most funeral homes also sell funeral merchandise such as caskets, urns, memory books, grave markers, etc. The legislation governing funeral homes does vary state by state, so you do need to check local funeral laws specific to your state. The Federal Trade Commission's 'funeral rule' does govern the funeral industry as a whole but certain states are exempt from certain aspects due to their local state licensing.

Where can one perform a viking funeral?

Depending on where you live in this world you can have any type of funeral you desire. Knowing that the Norse came from the extreme cold climate of Scandinavia, in ground burial would have to been very difficult to break through with the tools of the time. Therefore most were cremated atop funeral pyres and some even on funeral ships set ablaze and "sailed" out to open sea. However in modern times, the intentional sinking of anything is not without it's own legal burden. The dead were placed atop the pyre and gifted items of his trade, Articles that would help him in the afterlife and items he was used to using. Fishing and Hunting, and Farming were the primary "trades" of the Vikings. Though history would have us think the Vikings were no more than world wide bullies. WIKIPEDIA: While funeral pyres are still used in several cultures, they are very uncommon and even illegal in some cultures, particularly in the Western World. Despite cremation being commonplace, open air cremations in the United Kingdom were thought to be unlawful under the Cremation Act 1902 - although in recent years, some have taken place amongst immigrant communities. In February, 2010, a court of appeals in the United Kingdom ruled that a cremation on an open pyre would be legal inside of a building with an open roof, well away from roads and homes. In the US, A group in Crestone, Colorado has done the research, obtained the necessary legal permissions and created a permanent cement pyre structure to perform around 12 "open-air cremations" a year.

What is meant by a Kennedy casket being offered by funeral homes?

It can mean almost anything, although it really should mean that a very specific casket is offered by the funeral home. One should expect the funeral home to offer either the type of casket chosen for the funeral of President Kennedy or its modern successor model. JFK was buried in a solid mahogany casket design # 710, manufactured by the Marsellus casket company of Syracuse, NY, which was known at the time as the most prestigious maker of hardwood caskets in the US.
