Gathering the Remains of the Deceased in One Grave

Question
My uncle suffered from an illness and had his foot amputated, and it was buried. He then died afterward and was buried in another place behind it. Is it necessary to search for his foot and bury it with him, and will his family be sinful if they do not do this? Knowing that they do not remember where they buried it.
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: It is not harmful to bury a man in a place different from the body, and God knows best.
