A private ceremony was held on October 31 for Sherin, the adopted daughter of Indian-American couple Wesley Mathews and Sini Mathews, who was found dead in mysterious circumstances a culvert close to their home in suburban Dallas.
At that time, the burial location was kept a secret, considering the intense press and social media attention in the case.
Sources close to the family told WFAA television network that they wanted to wait until the headstone had arrived before releasing the location to the public.
"She's in a better place than we all are," a woman who attended Sherin's prayer vigil several weeks back said while requesting anonymity.

"None of us even met her but the pictures and her smile has been haunting everyone," she said.
The soil around the headstone is still fresh and that headstone reads her full name "Sherin Susan Mathews," the WFAA report says.
Sherin's body was found on October 22 after she disappeared from her family's home on October 7. Her adoptive father Wesley told police that he put her outside their home at 3 a.m. to discipline her for not drinking her milk.
Wesley was arrested and charged with felony injury to a child. He's still in the Dallas County jail on a USD 1 million bond. His wife, Sini, faces a charge of child endangerment and is on a USD 250,000 bond.
The Richardson Police Department and the FBI are still probing Sherins case and the Dallas Medical Examiners Office has not yet released the autopsy report.
The headstone also reads "Moment In Our Arms, Lifetime In Our Hearts." A source close to the family told WFAA that those words were chosen by Wesley, Sherins adoptive father.
