Morthoron speaks well. However I am not sure whether a band of Elves would be buried in the proximity to the Mountain. Is there told whether the Elves were buried (or whatever) in the place? I guess not. For me, it will seem logical that the dead Elves were first carried to Mirkwood (however many there were), and "buried" there. I say "buried" because I am not sure, however some mounds would make sense. I would imagine it the way that on some beautiful sun- or in the night moonlit glade in the proximity of Thranduil's halls, there is Haudh-en... wait, it would probably have to be in the language of the Wood-Elves... well, never mind, simply some Hill of Slain in the Battle of the Five Armies, a place often visited by the friends and relatives of the dead Elves.
