For Catholic funerals, there is a prayer at graveside that says something to the effect of "Jesus, by being in the tomb for three days hallowed the graves of those who follow Him." In essence, there's no place that we go which He hasn't also gone, even to the grave, which is now a holy place. This may be why a formal burial is important to some of us still.
