Maine would join Colorado in allowing open air cremations under a bill before the legislature’s Health and Human Services Committee. Though sometimes referred to as the “Viking funeral” bill, the measure would place restrictions on where — and how — the cremation could be done.
If the measure is passed, don’t expect to see a funeral pyre on a boat sailing into the sunset on Penobscot Bay. The bill restricts open air cremations to a fixed location operated by a nonprofit and within a three-sided structure built to withstand the 1500-degree heat that would be generated.
"Open air cremation, while a new idea to many, is also a well understood, preferred and normal option for others. This choice is common in places like India and Nepal," says Angela Lutzenberger with the group Good Ground, Great Beyond that wants to establish a facility in Dresden.
