Geoff:
I think there is a misunderstanding or a misreading of GOF here.

"'When everyone was gone, I transfigured my father's body. He became 
a bone.... I buried it, while wearing the Invisibility Cloak, in the 
freshly dug earth in front of Hagrid's cabin.'"

(GOF "Veritaserum" p.599 UK edition)

Crouch/Moody was wearing the cloak himself. He wouldn't need to hide 
a bone in an Invisibility Cloak.....
