Life and Death
Life after death is not mentioned in Havamal. When you die you simply
become a useless corpse and it is better if you are blind, deaf, onehanded
or crippled than being dead. Dying, according to Havamal, is the end of
everything but the memory of a dead man lives on if he had a good reputation
in life.
