Which state disallows that specifically?
Most states disallow traps - they're indiscriminate devices that could harm people with legitimate reasons to go on your property, e.g. emergency workers.
"Norse historians claim that in at least one instance, a deceased chieftain’s concubines were slain so that they, too, could accompany him." I think This is a treference to Ibn Fadlan's account and it's important to note 1. They were slaves, not concubines. I know the latter can be a subset of a former but it's important to be clear about it and 2. It was after she was ritualistically drugged and raped by his friends…
I read the account and thats not what it says, I think you are projecting onto it. The girl volunteered for example. There’s no way of knowing anything clearly from that account.
> although it is clear in some places that inaccuracies and Ibn Fadlan's own prejudices have slanted the account to some extent.
Seems a bit silly to believe she volunteered for that while also stating that there's "no way to know anything clearly" (except possibly the most absurd part?)
Only 5 states let you compost your body.
A steel box? What if I want a tree to grow out of my organs?

You referring to the disposal of human bodies as icky makes it clear that you aren’t familiar with the very real public health consequences that can arise from unhygienic disposal
There are very real public health consequences for bedroom activities too.

Do we really need to explain the difference between burning a boatload of corpses and making love?

What exactly are you disagreeing with? An enslaved woman can't consent to sex by her captors by definition so it's rape and Ibn Fadlan further mentions her being drugged and then the men drumming on the shields to drown out the sound of her screaming so it doesn't scare the other enslaved women which shows they at least thought she would be screaming and no one would volunteer if they knew the truth of what happened.
