31 January 2024 at 13:09 Lillebjørn Nilsen will not be buried at the state’s expense, the Prime Minister’s Office (SMK) informs news. – Lillebjørn Nilsen is not buried at the state’s expense. Very few people are buried at the state’s expense, says Acting Head of Communications Anne Nordskog. Burial at the state’s expense is given to people who have made an outstanding and completely special effort for the country or for Norwegian society. – There are no fixed rules for who is buried at the state’s expense. The decision is taken by the Prime Minister in consultation with relevant ministers. Alternatives to a funeral at the state’s expense could be that the government is represented at the funeral and sends a wreath, says Nordskog.
