Burial / Legends Burial was one of the procedures used throughout most of the galaxy to dispose of the remains of sentient creatures . Sentients were buried underground and the location marked with a tombstone , or entombed inside of crypts . A variation of this was space burial — in which the deceased was sealed inside a casket and this casket was then launched into space . An alternative to burial was cremation , or the disposal of remains by burning them , which was another popular method of disposing of the remains of deceased sentients .
