Actually the burial means very little.
He was buried in a borrowed tomb signifying his humility, I suppose, but other than this the tomb is insignificant - until it was discovered empty.
For Christians, the most significant events are the death of Jesus and his resurrection.
In his death, Jesus gave his life as a payment for all sin for all time. Christians believe that Jesus, the only perfect human to exist, was not just fully human but fully divine. This means that God himself, the Creator of all, gave up his very self for humanity's salvation. Therefore, for the Christian, the Cross is the central event of Christ's life.
But, of course, the story does not end there. Christians believe (and there is a huge amount of evidence for this - not just Christian but secular too) that Jesus rose up from death and is still alive in a glorified state today - just as those who trust in him will be one day. The empty tomb, and the many reliable sightings of Jesus after his resurrection, mean that the resurrection and empty tomb is the central core belief of the Christian faith.
Therefore, it is not the burial itself that has any real significance, but what happened before the burial and afterwards that is central to Christian belief.
