Fundamental Christianity places very little stock in the entire funeral ceremony. We focus strictly on the soul, which we hope has ascended into heaven. Worshiping someone's grave almost crosses the line into idolatry. Not that we shouldn't be polite about other religious practices, but the entire post death process with the body has no meaning to Fundamental Christians.

Even Mary Magdeline went to visit the grave where Jesus was buried. It doesn't mean one is worshipping someone's grave to say, but it helps a person in the grieving process to let go, and perhaps to be near a loved ones final resting place, for some it gives a sense of closure that their loved one is no longer with them.

"In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre" Matthew 28:1."

Since Jesus was the only one who would actually arise from the dead, I don't think it would be considered idolatry to worship at the Sepulchre.Personally, I don't have an issue with people visiting graves, but when I became a fundamentalist Christian, it put this all into perspective for me.
