Option one is something simple, after my cremation I want a semi-ritualistic giving away of my stuff to my surviving relatives and friends. Afterward my ashes should be spread around a randomly selected national park.
Option two is quite simple, eighty kilos of C4 implanted in my chest cavity post-mortem and free beer for anyone who comes to watch it go off.

There are actually several ways to give a "Viking Funeral" and they are:Jaranja said:
1) Set adrift in a flaming ship, filled with your possesions.
2) Set on a funeral pyre and cremated with your possesions
3) Put a ship filled with your possesions on a funeral pyre and burn it
4) Being buried in a ship in a large mound
5) A "Pine box" funeral

Edit: I'm sure there are more types, these are just the ones I know of.

Whether or not you have a huge service is up to you, your family and/or the community. There are also a few rituals that can be/are preformed (the ones including human sacrafice are outlawed)
Also the type of funeral usually deppends on its location.

As for me, I only chose the Funeral pyre because I can't afford a Ship.
I'll be catapulted to my burial site by Trebuchet. I might miss by a few hundred yards but they can always retrieve the remains.
Or of course that, except un-cremated and by Trebuchet.Hubilub said:
Cremation, an no service in an kind of church, or burial site ritual. All of which taking place after whatever's left of my body is harvested for anything useful that can help people (though that'd probably have to be once the Red Cross lifts it's policies of permanent turning-away of MSM individuals). I'd rather no form of religion play any part in it.
A nice dinner followed by an open bar party might be nice though, with people being encouraged to speak freely of what they thought of me and things I did with none of the speak-only-good-things-about-dead-people-only-ever and the BS that goes with it. They might as well enjoy themselves, whether we got along or not, knew each other well or not.
I'd like my ashes tossed into the foundation soil for a tree, if possible. That might be neat.

Attatch strings to my body and get a puppeteer to make me dance to Can't Touch This, as the curtain draws for my cremation.
I want to be able to hear someone above me saying in a bad imitation of a Bronx accent, "Get the bastard in the hole before his family starts the search!" Just for reference, I like to think I'll die after tripping facefirst into the toilet bowl and drowning.
