*grins.* You missed the point, I think. The last "to burn" isn't only referring to the method of disposal, but to the way the subject's lived. To burn brightly, to make a great light, to bring warmth and comfort, to spend one's life fully utilising one's talents -- all those things. That is the memory. And the pun was almost accidental.
I'm crying, I'm laughing so hard. I didn't see the original, but this is hilarious.
