The funeral of Anakin Skywalker occurred in 4 ABY, after Anakin Skywalker gave his life to save his son, Luke, during the Battle of Endor. Following his death, Anakin's body vanished as his spirit passed into the Force, leaving only the empty shell of Darth Vader's armor. After the battle's conclusion, Luke took his father's remaining armor to the surface of Endor and cremated the remains in a funeral pyre. Luke was the only person at the funeral. After the cremation, Luke Skywalker rejoined the other members of the Rebellion to celebrate their victory over the Empire. While they were all celebrating, Luke saw the Force ghosts of Anakin, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Yoda.

Anakin Skywalker had become a Jedi again, fulfilled the prophecy and was now one with the Force.
