When Vikings died they believed they would go to Valhalla, where they would spend their afterlife. Before Christianity, Valhalla was the Viking eternal paradise, like Heaven. Valkyries were warrior-women goddesses who searched battlefields for dead heroes. Warriors who had died bravely would be carried by the Valkyries to Valhalla. There they would be welcomed to the afterlife by the god Odin, with whom they would feast every night.
Vikings would be buried with everything that they would need to have in the next world. The richest would be buried with ships that were filled with clothes, weapons, furniture, horses, dogs, and even servants. The ships were then covered with earth in funeral mounds, or burnt in a funeral pyre. Vikings were also buried with treasure, known as grave goods.

Well actually, not everyone was allowed to go to Valhalla. Only those who died in battle, and it was only half for that matter. The general group (those who didn’t die in battle) would just go to Hel.
The Hall of Heroes. Like Valhalla,only we’re legally obliged to say were not aflliated.
