First and foremost, the 'song' is just a song and 
shouldn't be taken too literally.

Second, yes it is possible that Dumbledore was buried
with his wand; can't rule that out. But I think it
is more likely that his wand was combine with his
other artifacts and dispersed according to his Will.

I suspect a vast majority of his personal affects
and his likely sizable fortune were given to the
school as an endowment; historical and financial 
endowment. 

I suspect that beyond the original Founder's Endowment,
Hogwarts is funded by the other endowments and by the 
generosity of the Board of Governors. Likely, the 
Governors are on the Board precisely because it is their
money that is being spent by the school, and like most 
'controlling' boards (like corporations) they are 
there to insure that their money is invested and 
used wisely. 

So, the bulk of Dumbledore's estate has been left to
the school he loved. The remainer has been disbursed
to specific individuals according to his Will, like 
his brother and perhaps to Harry. 

I speculate that it is most likely that the School has
his wand, or second, that Aberforth has it. Either
way, it could still become available to Harry.

Lastly, let's not get carried away, Harry and Voldemort's
wands will work nicely against the other person. It is
only under vary rare and unlikely circumstances that the
wands will not work against each other. Either Harry or
Voldemort is perfectly capable of cursing or killing
the other unless their respective spells collide in 
mid-air. That is the only circumstance under which
the 'Brother Wand' affect comes into play. In normal
dueling, it doesn't usually matter. 

Just a few thoughts.
