Answer
The Russian Orthodox Church took custody of Maria's remains in 2015 after a long and contentious legal battle. The church had been claiming the body since Maria's death in 1917, but the government had refused to hand it over. In 2015, the government finally agreed to give the church the body, and it was buried in the Alexander Nevsky Lavra in St. Petersburg.
