The religious fellowship that worship the old Norse gods, the Aasatrufellowship Bifrost, will soon have their own burialplace in Oslo. This has been approved by the authorities, according to Aftenposten.

The new grave site will be shaped like the outline of a ship, and may only be used for cinerary urns, the newspaper writes.

According to their home page, the asatrufellowship Bifrost is a religious fellowship for modern asatru founded on norse custom, the pre-christian religious traditions. Since 1996 the Bifrost fellowship has been an officially recognised religion by Norwegian authorities.
