Maybe Harry's parents are buried in a Muggle cemetery (or their
ashes, in some Muggle ceremony) in keeping with his being raised by
his Muggle relatives and their cover that James and Lily died in a
car crash, as well as Harry's being kept out of the wizarding world
as he grew up. The relatives of the Dursley world as well as Harry
would then not wonder what happened to the bodies if they were in a
car crash.
