Jedi Temple Pyre room

"The pyre is the end for which all true Jedi are destined..."

- Mace Windu at Yarael Poof's funeral.

The Pyre room of the Jedi Temple was the location in which all Jedi were cremated after their deaths. It was circular in shape and its ceilings were open to the outside air.

The tan stone in which the Temple was constructed from, also decorated this chamber. In the center lay a long stone bed, upon which wood would be laid. The Council member leading the ceremony would say a few words about the deceased and would then light a fire in the wood upon which the body was lain.

Jedi High Council member, Yarael Poof would be cremated here.

With the destruction of the Temple and the rise of the Galactic Empire, the Pyre room was no longer used. When the Temple was rebuilt; the pyre was reerected in the Morning Court; though whether the court was a redesigned version of the Pyre room has not been made clear.
