In response to ship burial posted by suzannemhill:
You are exactly right; in the dark ages, the wealthiest and most powerful warriors were occassionaly buried inside of a ship. This ship was often special constructed for the burial. Two such burials have been uncovered in England, though there are plenty of examples other examples most notiably from Scandinavia.
