Just a thought... but I'm not sure much of anything is done with a
person's wand when they die. No one seemed overly concerned that
Voldemort's wand disappeared for 13 years, and it doesn't seem to
surprise anyone that he managed to get it back. Granted, he
wasn't "dead" in the traditional sense, and he presumably had someone
to snatch his wand and hold onto it for all that time. But the
seeming lack of concern seems to show something. Maybe they do
something lovely and symbolic with a person's wand, since it seems so
much to be an extension of the person themself.
Just some ramblings from a tired mind. Sorry if they don't make
sense, but... there you are.
