Original Note:
There was no traditional burial on the moon, not as depicted in the thumbnail. A tiny 1.75” memorial capsule containing some ashes of planetary geologist, Eugene Shoemaker, was aboard the Lunar Prospector. In 1999, NASA deliberately crashed the orbiter into the moon. https://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/sl9/news82.html
