bboy_mn comments:

On the subject of Cremation in general. Just because someone is
cremetated, that doesn't mean no memorial site or grave-equvalent
exists. These could be in a crypt of some type where dozens of peoples
bodies could be stored in a small room. 

So even if Harry's parents were cremated, there 'bodies' are still
'buried' somewhere, and I would think that at some point Harry would
want to go pay his respects.
