I do not think this is correct. The reason is that the pyroclastic flow separated into two parts an upper, less dense, less hot section and a lower, denser, hotter section. The lower, hotter part followed the valley bottom and bypassed them which is what they expected the entire pyroclastic flow to do. The upper part was still lethally hot but was, I believe, around 400 F. This part separated from the lower part and veered upslope - killing the Kraffts, Glicken, and the journalists. I have not personally verified this but I believe that their bodies were found and that they were recognizable and that they embraced each other when they know the end was near. I do not know where they are buried.
Yes they have been found here is the newspaper for the LA Times.

Is it true after death you stay in the grave till resurrection?
Remember, some of us are cremated. Even bodies that are buried will eventually rot away and turn back into the soil, with nothing left of the person who was once buried. Some die of misadventure and their bodies are never recovered. Some believe there will be a resurrection at the "end of time", but many do not. Either way, our bodies do not last forever.

The allies moved the bodies to gravesites after they were identified. If they could not be identifed they went into graves for unknown soldiers. Even body parts were identified and buried. Some could not be recovered because bombs incinerated them. The Germans were not so civil nor were the Japanese. Many bodies were just dumped in large mass graves or incinerated. When they had to clear bodies out of bombed buildings they carefully sorted through all the rubble and pulled the bodies out. Efforts to identify and count the bodies was done before they were buried or incinerated. The Japanese buried their own people as they went through the rubble and burned out places. They practiced their ceremonial rites for the dead.
