I was discussing this issue with my mother (of all people!) via email and was pleasantly surprised by her thoughtful response. "One doesn't need a body to mourn a death. Putting the shell in a grave means nothing - the spirit is gone. Plant a tree - make a living memorial - don't destroy something else to find what has been destroyed. Don't destroy another life to find a shell."
