You are safe to skip.
Spoiler
When talking to Baine, you can safely "politely decline" and skip the funeral which leads to quest complete. No lighting any pyres necessary.

@sienko: There are several reasons why one might want to skip. For one, you might have completed this on a different char already and are thankful for the skip. The real reason ( I assume ) why this was implemented though, is likely to not cause post traumatic stress to players who have attended a funeral of a loved one recently (or longer time ago) and are uncomfortable going through this procedure in the game. I'm thankful the devs implemented this skip.
But you're a monster

What to do
Description
The Shikaar lost two of their own during the battle. All of Tomul's reinforcements... they volunteered to help, of their own will. I... have much to consider. After speaking with the Shikaar, we decided to honor our dead together. We have blended our funerary rites into one ceremony for this occasion. We would be honored if you would stay and participate.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Case Closed
You are lucky we arrived when we did. We intercepted the Nokhud reinforcements about to flank you during your fight with Jamoku. We lost two of our number in that battle. Their bodies have already been recovered. Bovan's is the last. The Nokhud will not take long to rally and hunt us down.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Final Word
I have sent a message to Mayla in Valdrakken, relaying what has happened here. I suspect she will be relieved to hear from me... and in knowing she was right to send you. Before you leave, I would like to speak with you a moment.
