We have one case of a funeral rite being more preferable with a body. 
The Diggorys thank Harry for bringing Cedric's body back, indicating 
it is very important. 

One answer to why Harry hasn't seen the graves yet is the possible 
location of the graves. If they are near Godric's Hollow, isn't that 
an all-day trip from Hogwarts? (Unless of course, floo powder is used 
from some fireplace in Hogsmeade)

And Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia certainly aren't going to go out of 
their way to show Harry his folks' grave during the summer.

Maybe there just hasn't been time yet.
