I'm not sure if this is a bug or just an aspect of the game... But if a villager dies while i'm not actively playign the game, they never get buried. Today for example, I started a new game errrm... yesterday sometime... anyway...

I just logged on and saw three corpses of villagers. I caught one, but the other two decomposed before the villagers got to their corpses. It's like they dont' bury them unless i am actively playing.

I noticed villagers disappearing with no gravestone, but just passed it off as me losing my mind or the GY being full. heh... but today I actually caught them not getting burried when there was only one other person in the grave yard. I now have 5 deaths and 2 grave stones... :| Any idea what's goin on here?

Not a bug that is how the program is setup to play out. There are certain tasks that will only be done when the program is running, and that is one of them. Others are planting crops and watering crops.
