Hi, this is a good question, here are few researsched answers for u.
1.Bibical-foot of the Mount of Olives in the Garden of Gethsemane.
2.Some, however, believe that Mary died naturally and was buried in a tomb in Jerusalem's Valley of Jehosaphat. Others say that her final resting place was in the Roman ruins of Ephesus in Asia Minor.
3.In 1950 Giovanni Benedetti, an archaeologist attached to the Vatican museum, found a fourth-century manuscript indicating that Mary had been smuggled out of Palestine to an island off the west coast of Britain. According to Benedetti's findings, England's first Bishop, St. Augustine, discovered Mary's tomb there in A.D. 597. The reigning pope, Gregory the Great, forbade St. Augustine to speak of this, initiating a conspiracy of silence that lasted 1,400 years. Similarly, as Benedetti was about to publish his findings, he was instructed by the Vatican to discontinue his research. Soon after, the Roman Catholic Church declared the Assumption dogma.
4.It is also claimed that Mary, is buried nearby in the town Murree in Pakistan, where her burial place is called Mai Mari da Ashtan.
Hope these help

Mary's Tomb is a tomb in the Kidron Valley near Jerusalem attributed to Mary, the mother of Jesus. It is located at the foot of Mount of Olives near the Church of All Nations.
A small church was built at the location in the 5th century, and rebuilt in the 11th century by the Crusaders.
Still, the church believes in Mary's assumption, that is she rose to the heaven with her body, so she could not have any tomb

I spoke with a woman once who visited Jerusalem and she told me about going to see the place where Mary was buried during a tour of biblical locations and notable sites. So my guess is it is somewhere near Jerusalem, and accessible by tour bus.
Other than that, I don't think I have ever read or heard anything else about it.

It is believed that the tomb of Mary is venerated in the Valley of Cedron, near Jerusalem. Modern writers hold, however, that Mary died and was buried at Ephesus. There was never any tradition connecting Mary's death and burial with the city of Ephesus. Not a single writer or pilgrim speaks of her tomb as being there; and in the thirteenth century Perdicas, prothonotary of Ephesus, visited "the glorious tomb of the Virgin at Gethsemane", and describes it in his poem (P.G., CXXXIII, 969)

The Feast of Assumption is on the Catholic calendar August 15th. In southern Italy, they believe that although Mary was taken directly to heaven, her body was not needed (God gave her a new one) and fell back to earth in the province of Brindisi, Italy.
