I can't speak for "Europe" but I can speak for England. Cremation is 
very common. We are a comparatively small country and quite simply 
don't have the land available for loads more graveyards and 
cemeteries. That said, burial is still common, and I don't know the 
statistics of cremation v burial.

Back to canon, I've always thought that under the guardianship of the 
Dursleys, Harry was so downtrodden that he'd never have been allowed 
to ask about his parents' final resting place. I think this issue 
will be one of the questions that JKR has said that Harry should have 
asked by now, but will ask in future books.
