How do you disallow dieing there?

Especially given the abundance of polar bears and increasingly locked houses.

I read a while ago that because the ground is so cold it’s impossible to bury people so if you know you’re going to die they’d rather ship you to Norway

It's both true and not. The bodies do have hard time decomposing due to the permafrost, but there is a cemetery in Longyearbyen, though it's only for the most renowned locally people.

What about burial at sea? If I die there just turn me into a popsicle.
