The quote is from Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." Romeo and Juliet's families were feuding with other. Romeo and Juliet were in love but due to the families' feud had no chance of gaining consent to their marriage, so married clandestinely. Due to a series of mix-ups Romeo and Juliet each thought the other was dead and committed suicide. At the end of the play their parents are more or less told words to the effect of "See what your feuding has come to," and exhorted to give up feuding with each other.
bury their parents alive
Literally, "With their death they bury their parents' strife." Romeo and Juliet! :)

usefully, their death brings their parents' fighting to an end
I guess it means that after their parents die they can't take over the responsibilities so they forget about it.
No, it is their parents' strife. In prologue it is written 'with their death bury their parents' strife'. This means the feud between the families is ended when their dearest children die as a cause of their fighting.
Well, at least their families, or what is left of them, are not fighting any more.
The prologue tells us so, doesn't it: "do with their deaths bury their parents' strife"? And indeed it appears that Montague and Capulet do reconcile at the end of the play. Montague offers to build a statue of Juliet, and Capulet responds by saying he will do the like for Romeo.
Star cross'd lovers and death mark'd love are examples of metaphors? No they are not. "Bury their parents' strife" maybe. There are no similes in the prologue.
I have a couple of quotes that i can use. "Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean." "Do their death bury their parents' strife." "And the continuance of their parents' rage," (all of the above was written by the questioner)
As the prologue says, Romeo and Juliet "do with their death bury their parents' strife."
They will "bury their parents' strife." The families will stop fighting each other.
