There is no single "proper" way of dealing with the dead in Wicca. There are no required rituals, if that's what you're asking. Generally we celebrate the life of the deceased. Burial is not required: many Wiccans prefer cremation.
The actual interment rite isn't usually that public, we invite immediate friends and family to speak briefly, then lower the body in accordance with the rules of the interment site, which are VERY highly regulated. Literally even the flowers you can put on a coffin, the ropes and/or chains used to lower it, the type of coffin and sometimes the COLOR of the coffin, can be dictated by the graveyard. (I mean, the color of a coffin, which is buried, I mean come on!) Most of the graveyards don't even let the family lower the coffin themselves these days, which is sad, as it can be a very therapeutic move.
The memorial service, which is usually not graveside, is more important. It involves celebrating the life of the deceased, and providing support and comfort to the family. Usually behind the scenes we plan for some kind of check-up, too. For example, if someone is going to be left alone, we try to make sure they are visited by someone in the community regularly, to make sure nothing goes wrong, especially if they are elderly.
Why ask Christians this question? You should ask the "proper" authorities for this information. This question makes me think you are insincere in your beliefs.

It depends on the legalities of the burial site.
