Do Elves BURY their dead? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Other than Turgon/Fingolfin and Glorfindel, are there many other examples of elves burying elves? Just, from the examples suggested by Mithalwen, Finduilas was buried by Dorlas and the men of Brethil, Haudh-en-Ndengin was raised by Orcs following the Nirnaeth, and while Turin was buried by Mablung and his Grey Elves, it could it be argued that he was doing it after the manner of Turins own kin?
(obviously, for the benefit of this topic, the same could be argued about the men of Brethil's burial of Finduilas! Lol)
