"Jedi are typically cremated. These ones died in pain. That is unless the Ordu Aspectu had a different tradition."
―Korin Aphra investigates the ancient skeletons of Jedi[1]

Cremation was a funeral rite that consisted in burning a dead body to ashes. Following his demise during the Invasion of Naboo, the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn was cremated in the city of Theed.[2] In 9 BBY,[3] Cere Junda, Eno Cordova, and Bode Akuna were cremated by the remaining Stinger Mantis crew on Tanalorr.[4] After the Jawas who sold the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 were killed by Imperial Stormtroopers on Tatooine, their bodies were burned out of respect by Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi.[5] In 4 ABY,[6] Luke Skywalker cremated the armored suit of his late father Anakin Skywalker.[7]
