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.
