Good question, Mary! They probably interred their deceased promptly as they traveled, leaving plain markers at the burial sites. This is similar to how Rachel was buried beside the road to Ephrath, also known as Bethlehem (Genesis 35:19-20), where Jacob placed a pillar over her grave that remained as a lasting memorial.
