Look at the Bo-ones.

[Boromir88]

No this is not a Monty Python thread, but I think the title fits the topic quite well. Anyway, it's about poor old Denethor's bones.

Then Denethor leaped upon the table, and standing there wreathed in fire and smoke he took up the staff of his stewardship that lay at his feet and broke it on his knee. Casting the pieces into the blaze he bowed and laid himself on the table, clasping the palantir with both hands upon his breast.....And then Denethor gave a great cry, and afterwards spoke no more, nor was ever again seen by mortal men.

It's important to know that it didn't happen the way it did in the movies. With Denethor running around wondering why you put oil on yourself, and stand by fire you would go up in flames. So, that means we must assume that Denethor's body was burned to ashes. And I must ask what did they do with his bones?

I'm assuming that this fire would not get hot enough to burn the bones to ashes. Because, sometimes crematoriums don't get hot enough to let's say insinerate the teeth. But, it may have gotten hot enough where Denethor is now a hump of ashes. But, whether you think he's a hump of ashes, or a pile of bones, I'm wondering what they do with it? Did they ever give Denethor a funeral/burial.

I tagged on that quote at the end because it says "nor was ever seen again my mortal man." This to me is rather confusing, and I wonder if they just left Denethor's remains lying there, along with the palantir?
