They had a name for it among the Egyptians, one should distinguish between aquatic Hearses and boats used for interments ( in dry tombs). I cannot recall the name. This bring us to the related custom of Burial at sea. In the movie Hawaii, the old Queen dies ( it is not specified how) and four Ladies in Waiting ( Boxing the Compass, I see) take her body to the Pacific and have her buried at sea. It was hinted two of the ladies in waiting jumped over the side to join their Queen ( there was something similar involving the cremation of Cleopatra in the Elizabeth Taylor version of that Royal Tragedy.) this could be historical license. The Hawaiian Queen may have been buried at sea, whether two of her Ladies jumped over the side is unknown! I can recall a comic book about Atlantis where terminally Ill people were fitted out in Gondola-like craft and abandoned ( my guess coupled with prayers) into the River Anostis ( No Return) this was evidentally between Italy and Sicily- the boats resembled gondolas but had a different name in the story. It was a really weird comic book. I still don"t know how it came out.

How were they judged for the afterlife and who judged them ancient egypt?
The afterlife was a heavenly place, complete with a heavenly Nile River. The ancient Egyptians called this heavenly place the land of the Two Fields. In the beginning, only pharaohs could board Ra's magical boat and travel to the land of the Two Fields, to dwell forever in the afterlife. But the god Osiris changed that. One of the reasons that Osiris was such a famous and important god in ancient Egypt is that Osiris opened the door to the afterlife to everyone. Just dying would not get to you the land of the Two Fields. You had to earn a place in Ra's boat. To board Ra's boat, your heart had to be light. To keep your heart light, the ancient Egyptians believed you had to spend a lifetime doing good deeds.
