What is the name of the old funeral ritual where the deceased is sent out to sea and then set on fire?

All I know is that the deceased is sent out on a wooden boat and pushed out into the water. When they get far enough someone shoots a flaming arrow onto the boat and then they are basically cremated at sea.
