I've probably forgotten something that was written to the contrary, but what about her children? She went to Lorien alone, but there's no saying that they couldn't have come to her later on; like Aragorn, she probably had a good inkling of when it was that she would die and may even have told them ahead of time, so they could see to her body. It's hard to picture her children just leaving her body to whomever still happened to be in the area at the time.
She may not have wanted anyone with her when she withdrew to die, but that doesn't mean that her children couldn't have come to her after the event. Just a thought.
