Philoctetes, who was the only one who would light Hercules' funeral pyre. They had also been Argonauts together.
Hercules, a hero from Greek mythology, met his death due to a tragic series of events involving a poisoned robe. The robe, given to him by his wife Deianira, was imbued with the venom of the centaur Nessus, whom Hercules had killed. As he wore the robe, the poison caused excruciating pain, leading Hercules to build his own funeral pyre. Ultimately, he ascended to Mount Olympus after his death, where he was granted immortality among the gods.
Supposedly, Hercules was buried in Cadiz which is located in Spain. But according to Greek legend, "Heracles" as he was called, made a funeral pyre in his dying moments and once he lay himself on it Poeas (father of Philoctetes) set his body ablaze.
Hercules' wife accidentaly kills him. The Centaur Nessus offered to take them across a river that they needed to cross. Nessus tried to kidnap Deianeira (he takes her across first) but Hercules kills shoots him with a poisoned arrow. Before dying, Nessus tells Deianeira to take some of his blood and save it in case Hercules becomes unfaithful (he said the blood would make him fall back in love with her). One day Deianeira gets told rumours about Hercules being unfaithful and makes him wear something (can't remember what) with the blood on it. As the blood is poisoned from the poison that killed the Nessus, Hercules died. Hercules is half God, so he was allowed to go to Mount Olympus and was set as a star (I think) by Zeus.
If you are going by traditional, actual Greek mythology, the answer is complex. His wife was tricked by a jealous centaur into putting the centaur's blood on Hercules' cloak. This poisoned and nearly killed Hercules. But then Zeus (Hercules' father) took pity on his son and turned Hercules into a god (rather than a demigod, like Hercules was before).

A pyre is a fire that people were burned on instead of a funeral and burial. For example, "The King's family kept watch by the pyre all night".
A funeral pyre is a structure that is used to burn a body as part of funeral rites or ceremonies. The practice is prevalent in certain cultures and religions where cremation is a common method of disposing of the deceased person's remains. The ashes are then collected and often scattered or preserved according to the family's wishes.
Beowulf's final wishes were to have his body burned on a funeral pyre and to have a tall tower built as a memorial for him as a reminder of his legacy and bravery.
