Guys feel free to correct me if i am wrong...but i vaguely remember that Karna was the only warrior who was cremated by Lord Krishna himself.

kunti requested the pandavs to perform last rites for their eldest brother..thats when they got to know that karna was their bro.

arjun's arrow had cut off karna's head--he could not have spoken so mych after that.

and arjun definitely never did karna's last rites.yuyutsu only remaining kaurava did.

but yes---vrushakethu(karna's only surviving son) grew up under arjuna's patronage and it is said that they had huge affection for one another

According to Chopra Mahabharath - Pandav were above to cremate Karna, Duryodhan comes there and says it is his right to do the last rites and Krishna agrees with that..

I din't know Karna died such a slow and painful death .. 😭 never read or saw anything before like this serial is showing.. 😕

Everybody above is wrong. All the warriors who had died on both sides of the war - Drona, Karna, Abhimanyu, Ghatotkacha, Shalya, Drupada, Jayadrath, Dushashan, et al were given a mass cremation, w/ the chief priests of the Kauravas Sudharma & the Pandavas Dhaumya presiding. Their ashes were immersed in the Ganga, and the survivors did the water rites.

It was at the stage of the water rites that Kunti revealed Karna's secret, and asked Yudhisthir to do his water rites. Yudhisthir had Karna's widows summoned, and joined them in doing Karna's water rites.
