Catholics do not believe that Mary died: rather, they believe she was assumed into Heaven and crowned as its Queen by God when the time came for her to no longer live on Earth.

Mary may have died a natural death and then her body was assumed into Heaven a short time later. Both of these beliefs are acceptable to the Catholic Church.

Where is Mary Jesus' mother's graveyard?

Catholics believe that she was taken up to heaven body and soul (also called the Assumption) so there was no need to bury her. Other Christians believe, however, that she died a natural death but the location of her grave is unknown. Catholics also can believe that Mary died a natural death and shortly afterwards her body was assumed into heaven. This does not deny the doctrine of the Assumption of Mary. Tombs of Mary are claimed to be in both Ephesus (where she lived for a time) and in/near Jerusalem. Both could be correct as tombs may have been prepared for her in both locations but, in the end, either one or neither was used.
