You must mark the gravesite by planting the riders bike (minimum depth to the front and rear axles) and placing the riders helmet (if wearing one at the time of demise) either straped to the handle bars or seat. Before leaving, sing the "Wheels on the Bike go Round and Round" (sung to the tune of the childrens song with similar title) and provide a proper departing salute.

"Here lies the body of our Dear Sister Sadie.
She was done in while traveling the KATY. It wasn't the ride that laid her low, it was a darned ol' flat tire that made her go!"

Given that the State Park boundaries are only for the Trail, so 6-8 feet wide or so (making it the narrowest State Park in Missouri), any gravesite along the Trail would have to be on private property.
