No I don't think so...; I don't think Tom Riddle/ Voldemort would be 
buried in the Riddle family plot, 1) because they didn't know about 
his existence, 2) because he's a Muggle, 3) because even when some 
of the wizarding world thought him dead, they didn't have a body to 
bury and 4) when the wizarding world thought him dead, it was in 
October 1981, not 1943 (1943 V-Mort was still a teenager and either 
in his 7th year at Hogwarts or first year out of Hogwarts, I think, 
according to the timeline on the COS DVD).  So I think the 
gravestone is supposed to be V-Mort's muggle grandfather (top) and 
father (bottom) who V-Mort AK'd in 1943, along with his muggle 
grandmother.  So Marvolo still doesn't work according to Book 6.
