Dear Ann Landers,
y great-uncle is eighty-four years old. Up until last year he was in very good health. Last week Uncle told us he plans to revise his will. We were shocked at what he wants in it. Uncle insists on having a Viking funeral. I did not know what a Viking funeral was until he explained it. The dead person is put into a boat, the boat is set afire and shoved out to sea. Uncle explained that this would not be against the law, as the piece of property he owns has a lake on it. The lake could be used instead of the sea. I think this is a romantic way to go. The rest of the family is appalled. Do you feel we should let Uncle have his wish?-Spokesman For The Relatives

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
