Also, they never show the hobbits being terribly hung up over their burial customs. They memories of their ancestors seem be held in geneologies and bedtime stories. We don't see Frodo or Bilbo visiting the gravesites of their parents, or even thinking about them, really. The other two hobbits of the Company chose to pass out of the world in an altogether different manner than the friends and family they left behind, and we know that Sam, at least, had VERY strong family ties.
