Are you sure? Because here it's embarrassingly written into our constitution that any monarch who isn't Lutheran automatically abdicates the throne and that the Royal family must be raised into the "pure Lutheran faith".

It's the same here! We tried to write that out of the constitution some twenty years back, even had a big enough majority for it in the parliament, but the king went "try to do that and you can kiss your monarchy goodbye. Glhf with fucking presidential elections, noobs", so people decided to wait.
"Norse funerals" - if you're talking about what popular culture thinks is a norse funeral - putting someone on a raft and burning it - that never happened in the norse countries, and for good reason - the raft burns away before the body, so you get a decomposing corpse washing up on the shore.
I'm assuming GM is talking about a real norse funeral - get buried with your stuff and your ship in a hill. So digging you down with your gun collection and your... car, I guess? I mean, an aircraft carrier would be cool, but the real estate required...
The Seldom Killer:
I thought the pyre funerals happened in Norse culures but were land based affairs, longboat and all and something about warriors who died away from home.
As you can probably tell, I'm not an authority on the subject.
