The families can visit the grave sites, it's just that the bodies are buried around 18' down in lead-lined caskets surrounded by and covered with cement. The bodies are apparently so radioactive that opening the casket would give you a lethal dose of radiation. I believe at least one of them is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

@travcollier Although for at least one of the families the funeral service lasted at most 5 minutes because of the potential for receiving a lethal dose of radiation. Scary stuff.

@silviakunaballero8610 I cannot remember if they recovered the ambulance that carried McKinley away from the site. He died enroute to hospital so they drove the ambulance out into the desert before abandoning it. I suspect they did, since they later recovered McKinley's body for burial.
