Burial in Space: Difference between revisions

* Done a couple of times on ''[[Babylon 5]]'', most memorably in the episode "Ceremonies of Light and Dark", wherein those crew who died in the previous episode's battle were given a mass funeral, with a whole line of space coffins being shot at the star Epsilon Eridani, escorted part of the way by a formation of Starfury space fighters. A few episodes later, when Kosh dies, his encounter suit is placed in his Vorlon transport, and it flies itself into the star for an alien version of this trope.

** Worth noting, Commander Ivanova appeared to have [[The Dead Have Names|memorized the list of names]] to be read at the memorial, rather than reading from notes.

** The ashes of the "fake" Hera were scattered into space from the open door of a Raptor.

** It can be said that the whole Fleet receives one in the final episode {{spoiler|along with Sam by way of being [[Hurl It Into the Sun|flown into Sol]]}}.

* ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' ("Latent Image"). A photon torpedo casing is fired into a sun, bearing the body of dead ensign Jetal.

** Also in "one Small Step" where the crew has a funeral with full honors for an early space explorer.
